So. It's been a while since my last post. No excuses to claim for not keeping up on the blog. I had a rare free day today to do what ever I wanted. So, of course my mind gravitated to food and more specifically, playing with it. I've been searching for ideas for an upcoming baby shower and came across a blog that had a wonderful idea for adding a little pizazz to your punch drinks. So, off I went to my cupboards to see how I could duplicate this project with what I had on hand. So, let's see....water, check. sugar, check. Orange jell-o mix, check. The blog I read, used lemon juice to dip the rim of the glass in for a little zip and then dipped it into pink colored sugar. I'm not sure what they used to color the sugar but I figured that if I were to dye the sugar with a little food coloring, I might get the desired effect but also give the party goer some brightly colored orange lips. So, alas, I settled for dry jell-o powder and sugar mixed together. The dry mixture was extremely pale in color but when the wet rim of the class was dipped into it, the color immediately came to life. What a fun, easy and inexpensive way to add a special touch to your entertaining. Enjoy!
