In this same issue of American Miniaturist, I found the hint to make barbecue potato chips from the pepper seeds found in crushed red flakes. I glued these in a small wooden bowl I found in the craft store.

The potato salad was made from several colors of fimo cut in small pieces. I used a off white/transparent mix for the potatoes. I added yellow for egg yolk, dark green for pickles and a light trandparent green for celery. I used tacky glue mixed with a touch of white and even small bit of yellow paint to jix with the cooked fimo pieces. I found an end cap at Lowe's to use as a bowl. After filling the bottom with glue and allowing it to harden, I piled on the potato salad. To add the finishing touch, I sprinkled on some red craft sand and stuck in a spoon.

The baked beans were made from ground walnut shells mixed with tacky glue colored brownish red. Again, to finish, I stuck in a spoon.

The mustard and ketsup dispensers where given to me at the 2008 NC State Day for my 50's Diner project.
