Looking for food ideas

Help Santa find his way to your house! On Christmas Eve, make sure you leave out some magical reindeer food for the reindeer. That way you can be sure they will stop at your house.

Mix together:

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup instant oatmeal

2 tbsps of glitter* (substitute edible sprinkles if you live in an area with wildlife)

Sprinkle this mixture on your lawn. The reindeer will smell the oatmeal and stop at your house!

*If you live in an area where wild animals live, don't use the glitter. It may harm wild animals.

Materials:

* Mini-marshmallows

* Plastic bag

* Ribbon

* Tag/Verse (see below)

Instructions:

Put a handful of mini-marshmallows in plastic bag.

Tie off with pretty holiday ribbon.

Print and attach tag with verse.

Give to friends and family as a fun holiday joke.

Snowman Soup

Was told you've been real good this year.

Always glad to hear it!

With freezing weather drawing near,

You?ll need to warm the spirit.

So here's a little Snowman Soup

Complete with stirring stick.

Add hot water, sip it slow.

It's sure to do the trick!

1. 2 tablespoons vinegar - we always used malt vinegar

2. 3 tablespoons of water

3. 4 oz butter (DO NOT USE MARGARINE)

4. 2 lbs white sugar (I have a feeling we just added a whole bag before and after metrication when the conversion took it to a kilo of sugar)

Other Items

Extra butter to grease a tin before you start cooking the Butterwelsh. Use a heavy solid LARGE saucepan and a wooden spoon. Toffee bubbles up when boiling.

Have 2 cups of very cold water nearby for testing the toffee is set.

This recipe was very economical on butter, and another version of a richer Butterwelsh toffee can be made.

First grease a tin with butter.

Melt the butter in the two liquids in a saucepan.

Add the sugar. To speed things up the sugar can as in jam making be pre- warmed for a couple of minutes in the microwave in a Pyrex bowl.

Boil fast for 20 to 30 minutes until done by testing by dropping small amounts into a cup of cold water. It will not be ready to test until medium honey coloured. When it gets golden do this test until it sets hard when dropped into your cup of water.

Pour into the well buttered tin and after some minutes when it forms an impression set, mark and score into squares with the back of an oiled knife. The reality is that it mostly cracks into triangles!

Once cooked add nuts such as chopped brazil nuts or cashew nuts if you wish.

This is also suitable for coating toffee apples or slices of apples set on cocktail sticks.
