Yesterday morning I was woken up by a text message from my husband. It was a picture of the back of a puppy's head.lol Now none of you really know my husband I don't talk about him a a lot. This is very unlike him to do though. so I give him a call and ask what the text was about. Apparently when him and the guys arrived at work they heard a sound that was well, not so pleasant. They thought that certainly something had been hit by a car and was dying. So the search around to make sure that there is not something suffering needlessly (keep in mind it is 6am and PITCH BLACK!) Finally they found the cause of the sound. A little terrier cross, covered in ticks and riddled with pokies in his feet. They pick him up and pick all the pokies out of his feet, get him a bowl of food and water(they have a shop dog) and from that second on he was attached to my husbands feet.lol Now my husband loves dogs don't get me wrong, but we already have 3 dogs and 2 cats haha he had SWORE there would be no more pet till at least the two biggest dogs passed on. When I picked up that phone I knew that had changed, and when I got to pick up the puppy (7:30am) he had already been named. So I would like to introduce Sparky to my blogging family :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

It must have been a good day for adopting pets. We took in a new cat yesterday. Someone had abandoned him. :*(
Integrating a new cat is a bit of a challenge, but he sure made himself at home, and is very sweet with out boys.
