I mentioned that when I start getting into making candles that I wanted to make a skull that has red wax in it so that when you burn it, the wax melts out of the eyes. Like this one:
So we went to a Halloween store today and I caught my husband checking out the skulls :D He has made resin models before so he said he could help me make something like this. I guess I could make the skull from wax and cut out a space for the red wax? I don't know. I'm sure there's a tutorial online somewhere of how to make them. All we need now is some money...Dang it, I'm never going to get this thing rolling before all the awesome fall/winter holidays!
Happy fall equinox everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying their pumpkin, cinnamon, apple, squash, etc. flavored things. I've been doing some stuff with candles and trying to teach myself how to meditate. My problem is I can't get my mind to shut up and I haven't liked any of the guided meditations I found online. I found one woman who does a lot, but she sounds like the minister at the UU church I left. LOL.
I made stuffed peppers for my mother when she came down yesterday and they came out great. I was worried, as I always am when I cook for others. But they were delicious if I say so myself. The best recipe that works for me is the same recipe I use for my meatballs. Basically a lb. of meat, rice (as much as you like but I think I start with one cup raw rice, cook it and add all or most of it) one egg, a piece of bread soaked in milk, garlic, salt and pepper and Italian seasonings. I cook that mixture together and I stuff the peppers and top them with a litte tomato sauce. Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes at 350 and top with cheese--I used fresh mozz, but you can use anything you like. Broil it for a few minutes to melt the cheese and that's it. I made a nice salad with the rest of the cherry tomatoes from the garden, the rest of the fresh mozz and some basil, on top of a lettuce mix and with an apple cider vinaigrette.
