To the Editor: Friday, April 19, was the worst blizzard and weather conditions that we’ve had this winter. It wasn’t very smart of us to be on the roads, but we had a function to go to and didn’t want to miss it.

I was chopping vegetables for dinner recently when my 14-year-old daughter, Grace, disappeared with the unusable end of the bok choy. She returned five minutes later with paper, a stamping ink pad and the pilfered vegetable. “Look, Mom,” she said, and held up a stunner: The bok choy head, refuse to me, had stamped a beautiful blooming rose onto the paper. I discovered what some crafters have long known — the beauties of stamping with food. Part of the pleasure derives from the experimentation, a...
