Pinterest a Curious Cats best Friend

I found Pinterest a while back,not sure how I found it,weather I was told or just searched and it came up.Either way I soon realized that this was a great resource for my curious mind.Unlike search engine this allows you to see  pictures,and as we know I am a visual person.This has been a gold mine for me .

Here you can find things a little easier because other people are pinning things to their board, this allows easy access to things I find interesting.This is not a search engine at all.It does not pull up all the web pages and such .

What this does is allows you to find what interest your by allowing you to see and repin other's finds online.You can start your own board and make pins of your own.To me this allows me to save something I find interesting and allows me to 'save' it without having to bookmark the site.If you are like me I hate bookmarking because I am lazy and do not name the bookmark for what I was interested in .Therefore I can never find the site or image I booked marked it for in the first place.

I also have a problem with saving things to my computer and then forget where I put them. Pinterest has allowed me a fast easy way to save all the sites that I want to re find fast and easy.All I have to do is go to my board look up the interested site and that's it.When I click on the image it takes me to that listing on my board and then I just click once more and it opens the website that image is on.That easy.I  love it !

 If you want to find something like old looking tables and such ,you can type it in the search box on the top left of the pinterst  page and anything anyone has placed under the word old will come up for you to view.From there you have a vast resource of others that have already searched the web for the same things you have.You also get the added benefit of finding things that you might not have thought to look for.
You can add Pinterst to your blog allowing others to see what you find interesting.They have made it easy by  allowing you to create your own button to add to your site ,people can follow your boards to keep up with what you find as well as you can follow others so not to miss something someone out there that shares the same interest you have ......Millions of other people finding and sharing things for the love of exploring.

Homemade Caramel Recipe

caramel in a can

I have made caramel in the past.Stood over the stove and stirred for what seemed like hours.

It is a long ,hot,sticky mess  that taste heavenly. But rarely made because of the expense and long process, right?

Well imagine my excitement when I came upon this simple method on Pinterest.

I thought...no way is it that simple.

Yet it was. As I have been told this is not a new method,but I wanted to share this with you so if you never heard of it(like me") you can make some as well.

First this is a soft dipping caramel not hard.If you want hard there is only one way I know of to make it.....stand over the hot stove.but if you want to dip apples or anything else then this is the recipe for you.

First some things you will need

crock pot

any size can sweet condensed milk

water

Directions

place your sweet condense milk in the crock pot,fill it with water until it covers the can.Turn it on medium and place lid on top.

Now go sit down and relax.

8 hours later take the can out (careful it is very hot) and place it in the refridare 

can right from the fridg

Leave it in there until it is completely cold or overnight .

take it out and open it to see all that soft caramel .

Sweet caramel right in the can!

Place it in a container and that's it.

simple,sweet and no mess.

Remember all crock pots cook different so try to 

remember the time when you make 

it.Record how long it took on what setting  so you can 

get it  just the way you like it.

Also I like to leave mine in the container and place back

 in the fridge for about 2 

days.To me it seems to taste better and get

 smoother.Again this is to your taste.

Who knew a treat like this could be that simple.

Now go and make your family (or yourself) happy and 

make some caramel!

Remember

Have fun doing what you love

and

Love what you are doing!
