Snow Cone Syrup

1 cup water

1 (0.13 ounce) unsweetened, fruit-flavored drink mix (Koolaid)

In a saucepan, stir together the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, and boil for about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and stir in the drink mix. Allow to cool, and store in a container for pouring. Pour over shaved ice to flavor.

*Love this for crazy-hot days. I tweaked it a bit though and instead of just boiling the sugar and water for 1 minute, I boil it for several minutes into a simple syrup... makes it thicker. Also, if you have a Sonic nearby, pick up a bag of ice... you can either pour the syrup over the ice as is or shave the ice. Nothing beats the amazingness of Sonic ice. When Ally was little and used to have her snow cone stand, I'd make several different flavors at once and pour each into a plastic squeeze bottle. Made for easy access/pouring and clean up.

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Thanksforgiving

'Thanksforgiving' is the title to my Thanksgiving Pinterest board.... And now looking at it, I just saw it in a whole new way.... thanks + forgiving... instead of, or in addition to thanks + for + giving Interesting.... wouldn't it be awesome if we all could just forgive others of their shortcomings and be grateful for them as they are and accept them at face value instead.... the way we hope they look at us? Today I think of so many things.... What comes to mind: St. George - spent many Thanksgivings there while growing up and always spent time horseback riding over that weekend 4-day school vacation Dang! In the middle of making this list I just remembered I forgot to make the Corn Soup... ugh... The 'Turkey Bowl' LeSueur Pumpkin Crunch Torte... I made a half this year which is baking (hopefully... something's up with my oven) as I type.... and man oh man, it sure smells good!
