    good stuff like always. i’ve found a couple of things to try, namely snickerdoodle muffins and the salad dressing. the popcorn on the stove made me think of a story to share. our oldest was babysitting 4 kids all under the age of 9 at our house. they wanted popcorn to go with their movie. i always make it on the stove, no more fake ingredients from microwave popcorn. the little 5 year old girl said to me, “you do know you have to use the microwave.” they watched with great interest, the popcorn popping on the stove. in their eyes i think it was similar to a volcanic eruption you’d create in science class. priceless.

    You know, I still remember that making popcorn on the stove was mind-blowing to me and I saw it the first time on Food Network while watching an episode of Rachael Ray. For those of us that grew up on the microwave stuff, it was so crazy to me that you could do that :)

    The Wizard of Oz party brings back great memories! I had one for my daughter’s 5th Birthday & it is still one of my favorite themes ever. If you do plan a party with this theme…the coolest decoration we had was black streamers taped to our ceiling fan. They hung to the floor & when the fan was on low it looked like a twister. I even hung cutouts of a house & witch to “fly” in it. FUN idea which I found somewhere on the internet;o). My little girl will be 13 this year and my oldest son is turning 10. The only one who wants a theme party is the 6 year old (7 in December). Plan & enjoy theme parties while you can! lol. Thanks again for another great round-up of links. I have to try the mad scientist cake. Looks like a great summer project with the kids.

    Hi Amy.. I’ll give the pizza crust recipe a try.. You should remove all the junk comments above this one. They are really weird.
