Candy Canes

"Candy Canes" by Kathryn Jackson                       

VINTAGE VERSE: "Candy Canes" by Kathryn Jackson
from the IDEALS Christmas Magazine 1957

Candy canes have the nicest way
Of lasting long after Christmas Day.
For, after you've eaten two from down low,
And maybe one from up high -
You just can't manage to eat some more
No matter how hard you try.

But after the Christmas tree is gone,
And the cookies and chocolate, too -
And it's February, and dark and gray,
And there's nothing much to do,
And you wish for something to nibble on
While it sleets and freezes and rains,
Why, up on the shelf is a big glass jar,
There are always some candy canes.

They're mostly always
broken in bits,
And sticky, and
stuck with pine,
And hard to unstick,
and hard to get out -
But they taste
most specially fine,

All broken the size to fit your mouth,
All syrupy, peppermint sweet,
All Christmas red and white, and then -
Why, there's nothing so good to eat
As candy canes, with their very nice way
Of lasting long after Christmas Day.

Divide dough into two disc shapes, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Roll out dough to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick and cut into cookie shapes. Place on lightly greased or silpat covered cookie sheet and bake for 7-8 minutes. Remove and cool on cookie sheet. Frost with royal icing.

Royal Icing Recipe

Ingredients:
6 oz (3/4 cup) of warm water
5 Tablespoons Meringue Powder
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 kilogram (2.25 lbs.) powdered icing sugar
*** Note; if your meringue powder has no vanilla flavour (vanillin powder) in it, add a teaspoon of clear vanilla to this recipe.
Directions:
In mixer bowl, pour in the warm water and the meringue powder. Mix it with a whisk by hand until it is frothy and thickened…about 30 seconds.
Add the cream of tartar and mix for 30 seconds more.
Pour in all the icing sugar at once and place the bowl on the mixer.
Using the paddle attachment on the LOWEST speed, mix slowly for a full 10 minutes. Icing will get thick and creamy.
Cover the bowl with a dampened tea-towel to prevent crusting and drying.
Tint with food colourings or thin the icing with small amounts of warm water to reach the desired consistency.

Declutter 101

FlyLady and Kelly Below is Declutter 101 for those that have never seen it or to refresh your memory: This is how to De-clutter an area of your home. If you are new to de-cluttering then start with a room that you most see the need. This could be your living room, your dining room or your kitchen. Work on the main living areas of your home first. The rooms that you use the most often that are keeping you in CHAOS. (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome)You will need garbage bags, 3 boxes, a timer, magic markers, a feather duster or dust rag, and some extra boxes. Label the boxes Give Away, Throw Away, and Put Away. Line the Throw away box with a trash bag so when it is full you can just scoop it up and toss. 1. Set the timer for 1 hour,30, 15, or 10 minutes , I don't care just as long as you do the job as fast as you can and do not pull out more than you can put a way in that length of time. This means one drawer, one closet or even one shelf in the closet, one magazine rack at a time, under the furniture. Not all of them at once. 2. Start at the entrance to the room. Work your way around the room clockwise. Do not skip an area. What ever happens to be next, just take a deep breath and jump in. Remember to not take out more than you can put away during the timer. BabySteps! 3. With boxes at your feet and dust rag or duster handy. Start with throw away box first and get rid of the things that just need to be thrown out. It is amazing how things just accumulate in a space that your really don't love, use or need that is just plain junk or trash. Don't feel guilty just toss. 4. As you work your way through the trash first you will come across things that don't belong in the room this is where you will make decisions to give away or put away. The put away box is where you will place the things that have a home somewhere else in the house or you will need to create a home for them. The give away box is for the things that you no longer love or use but are still nice and in good shape to give away to a donation center such as Goodwill or Salvation Army. Do not donate items that are not in good enough condition to go into someone else's home. If it is trash toss it! 4. When your garbage box, lined with a garbage bag gets full, close it and take it to where you put your garbage. Don't procrastinate and say that you will get to it later. Recycle what you can. Put in a new garbage bag and keep going until the timer goes off. 5. When the give-away box gets full, take it to the car so that the next time you are out you can donate to your area charity donation center. Do not save for a yard sale. You will be blessed by giving it away. The value can be deducted on your income taxes. Remember you are trying to get rid of clutter. Not relocate it somewhere else in your home. Grab another box, label it and get to work. 6. When the put away box gets full, take the box in your arms and run around the house and put the items in the room where they belong. If they have a place, put them there, if not put them in the room where they logically belong. By the time you have finished you will have a place for everything and everything will be in it's place. You will get there 15 minutes at a time with BabySteps. 7. When the timer goes off, You are required to put away all the boxes, but first you have to empty all of them. As fast as you can. 8. Decide how often you are going to de-clutter a section of this room. Make the commitment to yourself to do a little every day. 15 minutes every day will change your life. Let me warn you; this can become compulsive. Once you get started you will want to clean like a banshee. Don't burn yourself out. Only do small amount at a time. When you set the timer you can only do 2 sessions at a time. Trust us you will get your home de-cluttered this way, 15 minutes at a time! 9. Things to ask yourself as you get rid of your clutter. Do you love the item? Is it garbage? Have I used it in a year? Do I have another one that is better? Does it have sentimental value that causes me to love it? Or does it give you guilt and make you sad when you see the item? Cleanse the rooms of everything that does not make you SMILE. 10. Sing this song. "Please release me let me go" as sung from the stuff point of view. It needs to be loved by someone and if you don't love it. GET RID OF IT! 11. Be proud of your accomplishment! Do not look at the room and see all that you have left to do. Look at the room and see how much you did do. The house did not get messy overnight and it will not get clean overnight. It will happen with BabySteps. PS - We have a De-clutter Kit in the FlyShop that makes de-cluttering fun http://www.flylady.net/pages/FlyShop_declutter.asp -------- ~*~Kaleb's MamaMimi~*~

Mrs. Santa" by Rowena Califf

VINTAGE VERSE: "Mrs. Santa" by Rowena Califf from the IDEALS Christmas Magazine 1966 Old Santa is jolly, (Now this much is true). It's never been rumored That he has been blue. I like dear old Santa, But this makes me pause... How could the man manage Without Mrs. Claus? She looks for his glasses While they're on his head. She packs up the presents While he goes to bed. He can't find his list, He can't find his pack, And often it's fastened Secure on his back. If the dolls should get restless And frolic a bit, If one of them whimpers Or one should get hit, She'd rush to it quickly With kindness and charm, She'd fix up its head, Its foot or its arm. His reindeer she pampers With sugar and spice. Oh, there is no doubt Mrs. Santa is nice. When Christmastime comes With its snow and its holly, It it weren't for her, He just couldn't be jolly. ~*~Kaleb's MamaMimi~*~

"If You Ask Me" by Helen Ramsey 1967 Xmas

VINTAGE VERSE: "If You Ask Me" by Helen Ramsey from the IDEALS Christmas Magazine 1967 If you ask me, I think my dad Likes my gifts best of all; My tops and guns and boxing gloves, My catcher's mitt and ball. 'Cause when I'm looking at my stuff Beside the Christmas tree, Dad says, "Now, son, I'll help you." And sits right down with me. I'll never need his help, of course, But it's no use to say. Dad simply pushes me aside, And starts right in to play. I hardly get to try my gun, 'Cause he can shoot so straight. And any kind of windup toy He has to demonstrate. If you ask me, I think my dad Likes every toy I get, And if I didn't complain, He'd be playing with them yet. ~*~Kaleb's MamaMimi~*~
