My Walk Through Life 3/13/2018

I usually do the blogging in the mornings, but I had to go out today and do some research for my next project, a local ghost walk. I learned all sorts of fun stories about the downtown buildings. Now I need the Horrible History.

St. Patrick's Day is coming up in a few days. Here are some fun things to do with your family.

Green Candied Popcorn (from the Disney Family Website)
 4 quarts popped corn                  1 1/2 c. sugar
 1/2 c. light corn syrup                 2 T. butter
 1/2 t. salt                                     1/4 t. cream of tartar
 1/4 t. vanilla                                1 t. baking soda
 green food color
   In a heavy saucepan on medium heat, melt butter than add sugar, corn syrup, cream of tartar and salt. Increase the temperature to medium high and bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
   Once the mixture boils, add in food color and stop stirring. Boil for 5 minutes (do not stir). Mixture should be about 250-260 F. Remove from heat and carefully stir in vanilla and baking soda.
   Working quickly and while mixture is foamy, pour mixture over popped corn and gently stir to coat the popcorn.
   Place the popcorn into a large roaster or rimmed baking sheet (lined with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray) and bake at 200F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

St. Patrick's Day Oreos (from Crafty Morning)
  Oreos (double stuff or regular) 
 Green and white candy melts/chocolate
 Green and white sprinkles
 Wax or parchment paper
   Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds at a time. If you do not have green candy melts, white chocolate with green food coloring will work.
   Dip the oreos halfway into the chocolate and place on parchment or wax paper
   Shake sprinkles onto the chocolate while still warm.
   Let them set for about 20 minutes.
