Sunflower die

I bought a few dies from TEMU, last year. Most of which I've not tried yet. Now that I have a desk set up enough I can sit at it, out of the way (we'll almost)

Today,  I decided try make this one die because it's my Granddaughter's favorite flower. ( Her first Tatoo is a Sunflower)

My first cutting did fairly good, but I messed up. I did get the smaller flower put together, but it was the third layer that tore on me. So I cut again, with a shim, and it did much better. Colored with markers. And now I just need to find another Altoids tin, to keep the dies in.  

It felt good to be making something again.

Left Over Mashed Potatoes, 1868

Add enough flour to make a dough thick enough that can be  rolled out, a shake of Salt and Pepper added to flour. Roll out on floured board, then cut in oblong pieces then roll each oblong piece into  kind of a  horn shape by putting a thumb on a corner and roll around.

Dry these as you would dry fruit.

 These can be added to soups or broths - cook covered about 7 minutes till they come to top.

Cinnamon Rolls.

Growing up, we had homemade sweets all the time. Cakes, cookies, brownies, crisps and cobblers. Mom grew up in Rural Missouri, and everyone worked hard every day. Her grandfather raised and trained mules. He used the mules every day.  Mules knew he had a treat for them and it may have been a cookie or a treat out of the garden.
