Tuna Melt!
Today I’m sharing what I made for lunch. Nothing fancy, but I was told how to use the top oven for toasting since we no longer have a toaster (my parents like using the toaster oven and the regular oven…)
I just used a can of light tuna in water, some regular mayonnaise, a little pepper, salt and “crazy salt”, and then added a small amount of Imo’s dressing (it’s a sweet Italian dressing from a St. Louis pizza place.) I toasted it and had a glass of orange juice because I’m feeling a little under the weather.
I know this isn’t really a recipe but I wanted to share my lunch. 🙂
Pasta Angels
When I was very little, my parents used to make crafts all the time. One of them that I remember the best were these little pasta angels. I saw a project like this through Pinterest from Squidoo and wanted to share our version of it.
Supplies are listed below but what you basically want to do is assemble as seen above. We used to do an assembly line. My mom and dad would do most of the hot gluing (since I was very young) and I would do the hair.
- Use the hot glue gun for attaching the body, head, arms, wings and whatever the angel will hold. Let dry (should be quick).
- Then apply tacky glue on the head and roll it into the tiny pasta for hair. Let dry again.
- Spray paint whole angel and let dry yet again.
- Form halos from pipe cleaners and cut to size.
- With hot glue, attach halo and accessory.
- Hot glue thread around neck and hot glue in place, cutting the thread to length and knotting.
Done! Now you can stockpile and give out as gifts like my family did for years after the first batch…

This is going to be a blog for the crafty things I plan on doing at home as well as recipes and knitting and whatever else I think of.
