A Fun Experiment- Coloured Sugars!!!

Okay class, do I have your attention? Quiet down there in the back. I'm trying to teach you something fun here. Okay who stole the props? *runs off to grab her ruler*

Now settle down people. You can all have a turn licking the jars I promise. You just have to wait your turn. Don't make me come back there missy? Put down that ja.....

So if you guys were not already convinced I have too much time on my hands this should cinch it for you. If you were not already convinced I can take healthy food and make it unhealthy well, this wasn't healthy to begin with so I cannot be held responsible for this one. I can however take something already yummy and flip it on it's head. It's what I do. Head flipping, it's a talent. They are adding it to the pageant list as we speak. Seriously, I made a call. I have people.

So now that I have made sure you all know the Lunatic name is not in vain, we can continue our lesson. Please behave and pay attention or no jar licking for you!

Today's lesson- how to take sugar and make it even more irresistible. Oh goody, this is going to be fun. Now pull up a chair and watch the magic happen.

Coloured Sugars:

Ingredients:

Sugar (duh)
Food colouring (double duh)

Directions:

Mix them. (triple duh)

What? Huh? Oh, that's not enough instructions for you? Okay people follow along now. Cop a squat. No fidgeting. I'm gonna tell ya little tale....

Once upon a time there was a beautiful lady named Lunie who was an absolute genius as well as the prettiest, skinniest lady in all the land. She had magic fingers and could turn any food into something bad for you. Yes children, she's that good! Maybe one day they'll name a country after her, or a pony, or she'll get her own show on the food network. She's that awesome children. One day people will talk about her like...she's not actually crazy.

Okay that's it. Who let the realist in here? No realists allowed. This is a fairy tale for goodness sake.

We begin our story here, in a little blog room that time forgot....*fade away, soft pretty music playing as unicorns dance by*

Okay so I sure hope you enjoyed this one. There are about a thousand possibilities for this stuff. You can put it on the edge of just about anything. They'd be super fun on a cocktail for sure. If you're wondering why I didn't post any pics of that let me tell you a little something about your Lunatic. She does not drink. Like ever. Well, not never. I have had a drink before. But as a whole I don't drink. Last time I did was almost 5 years ago, I had half a glass of wine at my birthday celebration and was looped for the rest of the night. Low tolerance for it. I can't drink due to health reasons. Plus seriously if this is me sober can you imagine me looped??? Yah, I know right. Scary!

Toodles and smoochies. xx
