Growing up I would find those sesame seed crisps or brittle type things everywhere and anywhere. I have been craving them for the longest time, since I wasnt able to find them anywhere, I decide to make my own.

Was this ever a hit in my house.

Cracked

and stored

 

 

For this recipe I used half regular sesame seeds and raw un-hulled sesame seeds, so one cup of each.

2 cups sesame seeds
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place the sesame sees on a large cookie sheet or jelly roll pan and toast them in the oven for 15 minutes.
3. Place the seeds in a 3 quart pan. Add the sugar, corn syrup, 1/3 cup water and margarine to the sesame seeds.
4. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
5. Once it's come to the boil, continue to cook without stirring until the temperature reaches 270 degrees F on a candy thermometer or until a small amount of the mixture forms a ball when dropped into very cold water. (I don't have a candy thermometer, so I use the ball test.) This can take 15 to 20 minutes or more. The ball should be "plastic" in texture but should hold the ball shape.
6. Grease a jelly roll pan.
7. Stir the baking soda into the sesame seed mixture and pour into the jelly roll pan.
8. Spread the mixture with a metal spatula so it is 1/4 inch thick.
9. Cool completely and then break into pieces.

Something Old!!!!

My son grows like a weed and I'm constantly buying him pants. 2 years ago he had these pants he barely wore and still in decent condition. I didn't want to get rid of them so I did a little altering. Converted the pants in shots.

Here is my latest pant alteration. An old school uniform pant, transforms into new school uniform shorts.

The original

One size too short

All I used

I had to hand stitch because my machine is on the fritz.

First day wearing his new shorts..and he managed to get icing all over them.. :(

 I also use to turn his old rompers into t-shirts.

Thought I'd test out China Glaze Dorothy Who? It's pretty but not what I was hoping for. I need to get my hands on a true blue glitter polish. No silver flecks, any suggestions?
