[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday

Thu Mar 30 18:00:16 UTC 2017

I have made candy in the past.  I have done chocolate molds and even the
chocolate with center filling.  It has been a while ago, but it was fun.

When my kids were young and I was sighted I use to do the Holiday Easter &
Christmas ones.  I made a lot of white or chocolate  lollipops and I used
the dyes to do the details like face, etc.and kinda painted the plastic
molds and then pour the white or chocolate to fill up the molds.  

Gee wiz, I could remember working on these molds especially for Easter and
painting the colors on the molds for hours and then when the kids woke up
and found their Easter baskets it took them less then 10 seconds to gobble
down those lollipops.

Yes, I think candy making can be a craft.

It makes nice gifts and you can get creative with shapes and all.

I would love to hear how you made the apple butter.

Pizza, lasagna, and nachos with lots of cheese, sour cream, and olives along
with the soda. Supposed to be good and eat healthy, but since we're spending
imaginary money, I'll imagine that my cholesterol isn't anywhere near out of
whack, and that I can eat all I want as I think of more crafts projects to
do.

Ditto on the spinning wheel and learning to spin. Forgot that was on my
to-do list.

Also wondering about the Shaker towels.

Henry, apple butter turned out light, smooth, melt in your mouth, great cold
out of the fridge on a warm biscuit. Who knew. I'm sure there's some in HI,
just haven't found it at any of the stores near my place. Now won't have to
look, since I can make my own.

Does candy making count as a craft? Can I add that to my take-a-class
portion of the answer for this week's question?
