Paris and Switzerland

I haven't written in a while. Want to know why? The last little bit I have been in France and Switzerland. The sweets here are so cool. In paris,for the first time, I tried a Macaron. They were delicious. I can't wait to make them!

Sugar Colours

          Don't you just hate it when your in the middle of a project, need a certain colour of sugar, and when you go to get it, there isn't any left? I have the solution. Next time, put about a cup of white sugar in a sealable container(ziplock bag or Tupperware) and add several drops of liquid food colouring. shake thoroughly and spread out on wax paper to dry(15 mins). Store in the container you shook it in. Ta-da! you can also put different colours of colouring in one bag, to make other colours(lots of blue+a bit of green=teal sugar)
                                                      ~Have Fun!
*It is best to keep out of direct sunlight to keep colours from fading*

Cookie Dough

Mmmmmm. Who doesn't love cookie dough? Think about it. How many time have you eaten more cookie dough than you've put in the oven? It's one of those things you know you shouldn't eat but do anyway. The other day I make cookie dough without eggs in it so it would be safe to eat just as it was.  Lets just say, it lasted about a half hour in my house(everyone ate them)!
