So funny and awesome all in one!!

🤓Have you ever made Saltine Candy Crackers? 

My grandmother had a recipe in her book I tweaked it... 

Butter/Brown Sugar almost to a boil poured over saltines and baked till just getting crisp.. 

I take bacon chop it up sprinkle over and top with melted chocolate

(I like to keep them in the fridge for a cool yummy treat) totally addictive and a great party snack not that I have parties lol 😆

When I make em I usually don't make a hole. I use a spoon for mine. My kids say mine taste like Reese cups 

These are the ones I made for my husband's office lol see the hole 😂😂😂😂 I need to try this spoon technique 🤫🫢

I'll have to give you my recipe when I get home. The key is to keep stirring. I love to bake too. I use to take pitcures everytime I baked something. 

 

I love making the sweet candies. Potato candy aka peanut butter swirl

Buckeye balls

And gonna try my hand on peanut brittle. 

So exciting!!! Thank you! 

Yum I love a good buckeye (though ho do you not have a hole lol) I always have to use a toothpick and leave a literal hole 😂😂😂

I love taking photos I have an album printed my kiddos choose from when they want me to bake heh makes it more fun for them. 

Peanut Brittle is a favorite of mine and love making it!!! I often make candied cashew/almond nut dust to sprinkle on the top 🙃

When you Make it take a photo and show us hehe

I am tagging along with my husband for his Carnivore Diet so unfortunately it was bland meat meat and meat lol... 

Thought I absolutely love a BLT in the summer... 

I love to bake, these are the things I made( for our kiddos neighbors etc) 

Pumpkin Crumble Monkey Biscuits

Homemade Cinnabuns

And Homemade Apple pie 

(I'm a smidge old fashioned so I even grind my own grain to make my own flour for  pastries breads and sweet treats) 

I find immense pleasure/distraction in baking hehe. I love fudge but have yet to try my hand in it, any pointers ?

I definitely see some florescent green in the first picture 

Yes they are definitely fluorescent green... The other ones that are brighter are too it's so hard to hold a flashlight and camera all in one 😂😂😂 and get an angel that captured it and didn't blind the camera out 🙃🙃🙃 it was tricky lol .. but the first I think are easier to see because they have no design within/out and are solid coloring ... 

Either or way uranium no uranium it was such a fun discovery!!! 😎 And gives me an excuse to grab a black light bulb for extra fun display reasons 😂

Reactive or reflective, I like any glass that shows any kind of reaction to a black light. It’s just cool. That’s what got me started on marbles. Enjoy.

What a fun way to get into it Yes squee!!! It's just add such a fun layer to collecting hehe. 🤗

I do want to add watch Stephen Bahr we have learned a lot from him. 

Good idea!!!! 

I have been watching a few of his videos for marble Identification... I should look and see if he has any on uranium ones, great reminder thank you 🥰

The red is either magnesium or cadmium.  Not sure which. 

 

Ooooo yes I read about the magnesium I should look into this and that would make total sense!!!! Thank you for your insight!!!

Okay guys and gals I'm gonna geek out for a second 😂 but I got a black light today to check my marbles to see if I had any uranium ones (because truth be told since I found out about it I'm obsessed!!!) 

🤓It just adds such a fun layer to collecting hunting and discovering. 

Anywho below are some of my marbles that "glowed"🧐🤨🤔

Questions ❓- ✅are the bright yellow glowing ones in fact uraniums?

✅What made red glow hairs in marbles? 

Or ✅marbles turn red/glow under a black light ? Is that uranium as well? 

Thanks for peaking and helping 🥰 (I did before and after of each of that helps)

It was a very fun place in Kellogg, Minnesota.

Minnesota is a blast I went there in my 20s with my gf to a giant lake for a family reunion and the Mall of America good times... Though the highways with the lights getting off ramps threw me completely off lol 😆

I stumbled upon this toy store near my town and check out all of the vacor!  This place was insane.

I'm coming to visit lol!!! Looks super fun!!!!

🫣The coloring is so vast it confuses me vs what is normally out there to see/compare to but in the "seams" it looks similar to vitro... 

I know my Lingo isn't there yet lol I'll pick up what everyone is putting down 😂 eventually
