In the second grade I brought my Mom's one and only cookbook into class for show and tell. It was the White House Cookbook. Mind you this was in 196---------. Well during recess one of my classmates and I were scoping out all the candy recipes during recess and came across a recipe for homemade candy canes. Read more We told each other that someday we would have kitchens of our own and make our own candy canes. I know it's a long way off but I think this coming Christmas of 2007 would be a good year to make good on that promise. See less
