Stanley recently got to visit a friend of mine in Colorado and meet her family. He was so excited to get to spend some time with Katina, an American soldier. With president Obama officially calling the war in Iraq over and thousands of American troops coming home what could be more appropriate then for Stanley to learn about the wars of the past. He had so much fun seeing all the different uniforms that have been worn in all the different wars. Thank you to all the American troops who have served. Especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and given their life. Thanks Katina for having Stanley and showing him around :O)
Most hard candies call for corn syrup, but since I was out and I have 3 children home I decided to experiment and make something fun! Here is what you need: 2 Cups of Sugar 2 Cups of Water 1 Package Sugar Free Jello A candy Thermometer Making candy is a pretty tricky process and trust me I messed up a batch or two getting this to work right.lol Put the sugar and water into the pot and turn on medium whisking well till the sugar is dissolved. Stirring pretty regularly to help the sugar from burning. As the sugar begin to boil turn the heat up to high. Watch your thermometer when the candy reaches 230 pour in the jello continuing to mix. Pour this mixture immediately into a cake pan that is lined with parchment paper of you can rub a little veggie oil in it. The candy will continue to cook as it melts anything over 230 you will be left with a burnt candy that tastes like licorice.lol After you candy is cooled completely turn it out onto a cookie sheet and break apart :O) I li
