Crashed after crafting and didn’t cook

by Sandra Williams

I was up very late last night making candles for a wedding shower so dozed off today during the time I would normally be cooking.

candle craftI made some lovely scented candles and decorated some glass holders. I just used some rub on silver heart transfers I found at the craft store and was quite pleased with the results.

It was great fun but took longer than I thought it would. The wedding shower was fun and I was surprised to see so many people because there was a lot of snow out there. Cars were swerving all over the place so was grateful to make it home intact.

I think now that I have my second wind I will cook a late simple supper for the kids. Simple because there is a huge mess that still needs tidied and no fun creating more mess on top of another mess.

My simple meal creation that they always go crazy over is macaroni and cheese with tuna and peas. I like it with lots of pepper but just dose my own later.

The recipe:

  • Two boxes of prepared Kraft dinner
  • One can of tuna
  • Half a can of peas

After that, I shall bask in the glow of my lovely candles because of course I kept some for myself.
