Mark,

I'm delighted hear someone else thinks about these things besides me. I figure if I do it, it takes the burden off of everyone else so they can accomplish something fruitful.

As far as the blue food...you haven't met my former step-daughter (we still maintain that relationship by choice since her mother and I divorced many years ago). She likes food coloring! We often had red peas, blue green beans and rust-colored corn. But her best, and it was hit with her friends, was rainbow mashed potatoes. Four drops each of red, blue, green and yellow food coloring dispersed over the top of the mashed potatoes when they were table-ready...then whip the potatoes with a spatula seven or eight times. Yummy! Food coloring has no taste, as you probably know. But it makes for an interesting looking dinner!
