The Bare Cupboard

I had big plans for this week's recipe, but alas I am lazy and the store is far. I checked the book to see whether there was anything I could make from the items I have on hand, but as anyone with teen-aged children knows, there really isn't anything on hand. If it's edible, it gets eaten pretty quickly.

In honor of my empty cabinets, I present you Old Mother Hubbard as interpreted by Ray Harryhausen.

Ray Harryhausen was a prominent stop motion animator. He served during WWII helping to make propaganda films, which included contributions to Capra's famous Why We Fight series. Old Mother Hubbard was part of the animated Mother Goose Stories, released in 1946, which was his first big civilian project post enlistment.

Harryhausen's influential work had a broad impact on special effects and helped push us toward the amazing feats of film we see today. (More importantly, I have a hunch he inspired those amazing Tool videos.)

In my own amazing feat, I will go to the grocery store soon... probably.
