Seafoam Candy

" 

The Owl And The Wind"

"Oh, did you hear the wind last night

A-blowing right at you?

It sounded just as though it said,

"Oooo-ooo-oooo!"

The wind now has a playmate,

Just as most children do,

He sits up in a tree, and hoots,

"To-whoo, to-whit, to-whoo,"

So when you hear the owl and the wind

Just at the close of day,

They're calling to each other

To come out and to play."

DOG CONFESSIONS

GARDEN UPDATE
  Heard from many yesterday that it was HOT. We were spared the extreme hotness, but today felt different from the get-go. It warmed up quickly and I was happy to get the watering done early. Right now, in the early afternoon, it is 95F. Knowing that where we live, the weather can turn on a dime, it is time for me to go pinecone huntin'!

GARDEN GIGGLE

It's Charlie Brown's 62th birthday!

There’s a brunette, a redhead and a blonde are on the run after robbing a shop. They run into a warehouse. The brunette jumps into a bag of dogs, the redhead jumps into a bag of cats and the blonde jumps into a bag of potatoes. The guards kicked the bag of dogs “Woof, woof!” said the brunette. The guards kicked the bag of cats “Meow, meow!”  said the redhead.The guards kicked the bag of potatoes, and the blonde said, “potato, potato!”

GARDEN GOODIES~SHARE OUR GARDEN RECIPE #0092 SEAFOAM CANDY

This is a great recipe for holiday gift giving. Easy to make, in the microwave!

You Will Need:

(1) cup dark Caro syrup

(1) cup sugar

(1) T vinegar

(1) T baking soda

candy thermometer

Instructions:

Microwave on high syrup, sugar and vinegar. Microwave until temp reaches 300F (use cover). Remove from microwave...caution bowl will be HOT.

Prepare your baking pan by lining with foil and buttering the foil, or spraying with pam. Position pan on counter. Put bowl next to pan and add the baking soda. This will have to happen quickly, for as soon as you add the baking soda, it will foam up and get hard almost instantly. Immediately pour into baking pan.(Do yourself a favor and put the empty candy bowl in to soak...you will thank me later for that tip!) Let candy harden and then take out of baking pan and break off into chunks. Candy will be golden and have the consistency of styrofoam with a hard candy shell.
