[Photographs: Leftover Art] Play with the dregs of turkey and mashed potato on your plate and submit a photo of the results to Leftover Art, a website dedicated to artfully arranged leftovers. Users can vote on where they think the art belongs: in the trash or the fridge. I'm rooting for "Root McGoot."

[Photograph: national Palace Museum] That's not a glistening chunk of pork—that's a stone carved to look like a glistening chunk of pork. The "Meat-shaped Stone," along with the "Jadeite Cabbage," made during the Ch'ing Dynasty (1644–1911) are some of the most famous pieces at the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan....

[Image: Susan Hochbaum] "In Paris, everything looks like desserts," says designer Susan Hochbaum in her film/slideshow Pastry/Paris, in which she compares French pastries to compatible scenes and elements around Paris, whether its in form, color, or both. Now when you walk around this city of endless patisseries (hopefully buying treats along the way), you might see an éclair in a Metro sign, a cannelé in a doorknob, or a slice of cake in a topiary garden.

[Flickr: Khaz] "Life-size jellybean children and butterflies," said my friend while we walked past The National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia. My first thought: Huh? And then I looked up to see that he was just reading off the banner outside the museum. We didn't go in the museum to witness the jellybean children for ourselves, but I found this photo from Flickr user khaz to get a closer look at the installation by artist Sandy Skoglund. There are mirrors on both sides to create the illusion of neverending jellybean children whose heads are twisted 180°. They just go on. Forever. (Skoglund also made jellybean adults in her photograph Shimmering Madness viewable at sandyskoglund.com.) Related Amazing Chewing Gum Art Creative...

[Flickr: Extreme Craft] Because we really don't have enough diorama coverage on Serious Eats, check out this mermaid spud (mer-spud?) in a box from the annual Decorated Potato Contest at the Humboldt County Fair in California. Garth Johnson of the blog Extreme Craft shares photos of the starchy entries on his Flickr page. Since 1896, the whole county has come together with toothpicks and glue—and as crafting technology has advanced in recent years, googly eyes—for the event. The categories are divided by age of the potato dioramist and number of potatoes used.
