Patriotic Solar Light Set
Posted Friday, July 3rd, 2009 by Lizzie |
I love outside party lights and this Patriotic Solar Light Set makes it so easy! Illuminate your landscape in red, white, and blue using solar power, so these babies can go anywhere - by the mailbox, on the back fence, around your deck - wow! The solar panel stakes into ground, storing the sun's power in environmentally friendly, rechargeable battery. The 23 ft. long string lights up at dusk, and you can choose either constant or flash settings. I hope this doesn't confuse the fireflies. Blink on, little guys, blink on! |
Celebrate Mardi Gras with a King Cake
Posted Tuesday, February 24th, 2009 by Layla |
Today is Mardi Gras! Celebrate 'New Orleans style' with a King Cake. The maker of each King Cake hides a token in the cake after it is baked. It can be a dried bean or a tiny plastic "baby". Whoever finds the token gets good luck the following year and has to provide the King Cake at the next party. If you were lucky enough to get the "baby" but don't have a clue how to make a King Cake, take heart - King Arthur Flour has created a complete King Cake Mix, inlcuding the yeast dough, filling and icing mix with colored sprinkles. (You have to get your own "baby".) |
Double Decker Strawberry Moon Pies
Posted Tuesday, February 24th, 2009 by Lizzie |
It isn't truly Mardi Gras until you've had a Moon Pie! Not a cookie, not a cake, it's a marshmallow "sandwich". This one is strawberry coated, but they also come in banana (a classic), vanilla, lemon, chocolate (my favorite) and orange. The proper southern way to eat a Moon Pie is to pair it with an RC Cola. Throw me something, mister!
