I'm going to make banana bread tomorrow but there is no one to eat all those goodies. I remember Mom used to bake a lot but there were many more to eat it then.

I've just baked a lot of cookies. I've baked peanut butter, chocolate chip, sugar cookie cutouts, log sugar cookies, shortbread with kisses. I still have a few more types to bake.

This is the easiest recipe I have found. I have made it before and , wow, it took some time. I use to use the small plastic molds but, it was APITA lol

HARD TACK CANDY

Read more about it at http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,177,...252196,00.html

1 1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. Karo
1/3 c. hot water
1/2 tbsp. vinegar
1/2 tsp. flavoring oil
Food color

Place ingredients in pan. Cook until 300 degrees on candy thermometer. Add 1/2 tsp. flavoring oil and food color at 275 degrees. Pour onto cookie sheet that has been dusted with powdered sugar. Let cool. Break with knife into small pieces.

I always keep the mint, spearmint, cinnamon etc seperate because those flavors for some reason take over the fruit ones. I keep mine in an airtight container.

When I was a kid, I used to bake with my aunt. We made a lot of European cookies and cakes. All those recipes are lost/gone now....
