Boston: A Veggie Skyline

Nothing like starting off the week with some yummy downtown.  Seriously.  This Boston skyline is made completely out of VEGETABLES (and ahem, some fruit).  Blogger Jen from Tiny Urban Kitchen is no slouch when it comes to creative uses of produce and we’re proud to feature some very original organic architecture, including a nori-covered John Hancock and “100-green-bean-Pru!”

To learn more about Jen’s skyline, and why she picked certain veggies/fruits for certain landmarks (watermelon for Fenway–yes, there’s a story!), click HERE.   Don’t miss the fun video, too.
