Well, it has been two months since I wrote anything so I thought I would put my thoughts down now. I am on day 8 of 15 days without my husband...damn you Duracell! I am holding up pretty well, but the mirror is sure to crack eventually! Last weekend was ornament making around here. I used a salt-dough recipe that smells fantastic due to the addition of a cup (!) of cinnamon:
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 and 1/2 cups water
1 cup cinnamon
it ended up taking more water than that, but you know the rules. make it be dough. Rocket science it ain't. It does, however, take forever to cook...2 plus hours at 275....slow and low. Don't forget to put holes in them. The dough is easy to work with and again, smells fantastic.
