Put some icing on that funny bone.

I've been really into cakes lately. I find myself wanting to create masterpieces, but since I'm working on flowers I can just drool for now.

Well, because of this new interest - I was dawn to a Food Network show called Ace of Cakes. Have you SEEN this show? It's a bunch of people, with personalities that I find insanely comfortable (like, I have been friends with these sorts of people my whole lives), that run and operate a cake company. I love their sarcastic, and sometimes morbid, creativity. I also love their passion for creation.

And really, I'm sorry I can't go work for them.

Kidding.

Sort of.

Anyhow, my husband just sent me here and I just can't stop laughing.

Really, there are no words.

Sick of pasta?

How about you give it to your kids.

For part of this evening, we will be stringing multi-colored-pasta (as beads). What fun the kiddos will have.

How to make?

Well, go ahead and put a tablespoon of white vinegar, a few drops of food coloring, and a handful of pasta, all in a zip lock baggie. Call over the nearest energy-filled toddler and have them shake, toss, and squish around the bag. Then put that onto a paper plate and let dry (I did the shaking part just before nap time, so we could do the beading part after nap time).

With these "beads" - you can go ahead and do a mosaic or string jewelry. I think it would be lots of fun to get all sorts of different shaped pasta (alphabet, maybe?) and toss together the different colors. I just used what I had on hand, which is why my pasta looks like Christmas.

Have a nice afternoon with the kids. I know we will.
