5月20日 Popsicles I have been wanting a container to make popsicles. I found one at the dollar store. I went home and washed it, of course and then I put rootbeer in it. I then popped it in the freezer. They are small, but good and icy cold. A nice little treat. I video taped it. I will have to put it up, but it is not hard to do. I need to find a recipe to make banana pop sicles. Anybody know how?12月15日 Decorated Gingerbread CookiesI made Gingerbread cookies. They turned out cute. I did the one with the black shoes. The black shoes was from icing that I bought from the store. It comes in a little tube for writing on a cake. Well, I put it on the cookie for the eyes and shoes and fingertips. The rest of the icing, I made a royal icing. You just take powdered egg whites and powdered sugar and mix it up and make it a little thin. Then just spread it on the cookie or pipe it on. I only had one bag so I just piped on the white. I think it would be easier it you had a bag for each color, but I didn't buy but one bag. The black icing did not ever dry, it was always sticky and smeared, so don't use that. I didn't want to make a black icing, so I would suggest doing the shoes in a different color, unless you want to make black, which I think would be a hard color to make. You just use store bought food coloring. I made a video but I have to edit it, so come back in a few days if you want to see the video. My son thinks the cookies are too pretty to eat. He ate one last night and I said I wanted one. He said "No, I want to eat them." He gave me the arms off his cookie. His favorite color is yellow, so I made him a couple of yellow cookies. I have a store bought box with a bear cookie cutter, so I will have to make those too 11月7日 How to make a fresh bloody mary cocktail. This is to make a Bloody Mary cocktail using fresh tomatoes. Take the skins off tomatoes. To do this put the tomato in boiling water for about 20 seconds. This is called blanching. Then immediately put into ice water until cool. Then peel off the skins. Just use as many tomatoes that you want to use, it depends on how much you want to drink. Then cut into chunks and put into a food processor till smooth. Then pour into a strainer to catch the seeds. Use a spoon to push out the juice. This is what you drink. Pour the juice into a pitcher. Put in about 6 shakes Worcestershire sauce. 8 shakes of tobasco hot sauce. (This is a whole glass pitcher of juice.) Pinch of salt and pepper.
Fresh grated horseradish about 1 tablespoon. (It looks like a root, it keeps a long time, just grate it with a micro planer.) Stir all together. Pour some in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake with 1 jigger of vodka. Pour into a glass. For a cute treat put some dill in an icecube and freeze and add to the glass. For a stirrer add a celery stick or a green bean (Keeping the garden theme.)
