What Does Your Heart Say?
posted Monday February 7th, 2011
Mine told me to make candy conversation hearts.
I can’t believe how well it went — I am typically the queen of culinary disasters. Here are my hearts, sans messages. The directions to make them (and lots more pictures) are here.
And if you are feeling crafty, might I recommend my favorite (thanks to my dear friend Kate!) web site for such things, The Long Thread, which has lots of fun suggestions for valentine things to make and buy.
We’ll be making love shrines in Sophie’s class on Wednesday. I’m psyched! And nervous. Anything involving 25 7 and 8 year olds is anxiety-inspiring, if you ask me.

The sweet, colorful images of these cookies were on my mind all week, so I tried making them this afternoon. Less sweet thoughts about a third of the way through when I had sugary dough sticking to everything. Fortunately, my 11 son took over and was quite successful. He even tried interesting combinations like orange and green mint swirl. When the remaining dough took on a brownish color, we rolled little balls in cocoa power. The end result was great!
