I know…this it totally random, but you should be used to it by now! Anyhow, I’m still not feeling very well so I didn’t get to venture into the world to take a pic. So…this is a picture of Jon’s lego he got for Christmas. Every year Jon gets a lego from his Mom. This year it was a bigger one then he normally gets. He was so excited that once we were done unwrapping presents he went downstairs and started on it. He’s too cute!
I didn’t actually take this picture, but I did edit it. I’m still sick so I’m to0 exhausted to even think of what to take a pic of. Since this project365 thing is to help with my photography AND editing I’m going to say this counts! heehe. Rina took this picture of my neice, Nana, today. I hope you like how I edited it!
Here’s my pic for the day. It’s a pic of all the things I’m using to get rid of this cold. I’ve had a sore throat for a week now. Then on Tuesday or Wednesday I lost my voice (or at least it sounded really bad). This morning I woke up with a runny nose, itchy throat, coughing, sneezing, etc. So yeah…not the best weekend in the world. Oh well…thank goodness for the above products. They give me a little relief.
Growing up my Mom made the best caramel poporn. It was so sweet and buttery. It had the best texture. Unfortunately, I never paid attention to how she made it. Since I can’t ask her for the recipe I have decided to try and replicate it. I made some tonight that wasn’t right. This was realy good, but not what I was looking for. I’ll post the recipe for those who would like to try it. I’ll be sure to post when I find the right recipe. Enjoy!
Caramel Popcorn
About 10 cups of popcorn (more or less depending on how you like it…I like less)
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. In medium sauce pan melt butter on medium heat. Add brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Once it comes to a boil let it sit without stiring for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add baking soda and vanilla. Pour over popcorn. Mix well. Spread covered popcorn onto a large baking sheet (you may need to split it between two). Bake for 1 hour stiring every 15 minutes. Let cool completely. Eat!
Here’s my pic of the day. Isn’t it fun! Me and a bunch of my co-workers met up at the ice skating rink today (since our school season is out so we had no work). It was so much fun! I only fell twice. lol. When I first got on the ice I honestly didn’t know if I would be able to skate at all because I was so unstable. I slowly worked up some courage and started to be the superstar skater that I am! lol…yeah right! heehee. Anyhow, thanks for a fun time ladies…and ben! lol.
