Wheatpaste

Wheatpaste is an all-natural glue good for spiking your hair and putting up flyers.

1 cup flour (or bread flour to make a stickier paste)
1-1 ½ cups water

Cook water and flour in a pan over medium heat on the stove, stirring constantly until thickened.  Remove from heat, put in an old dishwashing liquid bottle or other container.  Use within a couple of days or else it gets rank.  To use on flyers:  Use a paintbrush or roller to apply a layer of wheatpaste to the back of the flyer.  Stick to walls, trees, etc.  You can smear a thin layer over the to of the flyer to protect it from the elements.  To use in your hair:  Put a large amount (enought to coat all your hair) on your head, sculpt hair to desired spike, blowdry.  You can add food coloring to your wheatpaste if you want wash-out color spikes.



Pudding Popsicles

Yay!  Pudding pops!

What you need:
Instant pudding mix
Milk or soy milk plus 1 packet unflavored geletan
Small cups or mugs
Small spoons or popsicle sticks

What to do:
If using milk, prepare instant pudding as directed.  Pour into cups, place 1 spoon or stick per cup, freeze until frozen solid.  Eat.

If using soy milk, dissolve geletan in soy milk according to unflavored geletan directions.  Prepare instant pudding as directed, using soy milk and geletan mixture instead of milk.  The mixture may come out a little runny, but it will be fine 'cause you put the geletan in it.  Pour into cups, place spoon in each cup, freeze until frozen solid.  Eat.

Frozen Pizzas

Everyone thinks that frozen store-bought pizzas are convenient.  The thing is, they taste like cardboard.  If you take one afternoon every month or so, you can fill your freezer with homemade frozen pizzas.  They taste a lot better than store bought, plus you don't need to put  tons of chemical preservatives in your food.

What you need:
1 or 2 batches prepared pizza dough (for recipes go to foodnetwork.com or the library for one)
1 or 2 batches pizza sauce
Cheese or Vegan Cheese
Pizza toppings
Freezer bags or food storage containers.
Wax paper (if you want to stack up pizzas in one freezer bag or container)

What to do:
Take the pizza dough and use your hands to form into a flat disk.  Make it the size that you want your pizza to be.  Repeat until you use up all the dough.  Place in freezer bags or storage containers, using wax paper to separate dough disks if necessary.  Place in freezer for a few hours until frozen solid.

Take the frozen pizza dough out of the containers/bags.  Top with sauce, cheese, and toppings.  Refreeze in same storage bags/containers as before..

Next time you want a pizza, pull a frozen one out of the freezer and place in a preheated oven (about 350-400 degrees).  Cook for 15-20 minutes.  Eat and enjoy!
