Science Experiments

I was experimenting with Flubber and stumbled upon what I beleive to be the recipe for Mars Mud!

The recipe for "Super Ooze" as I like to call it.

Mix 2 cups clear school glue and 2 cups water in a measuring cup or glass bowl. In a smaller cup, mix 3 table spoons borax and 1/3 cup water together - make sure it's mix very well and completely dissolved! Add food coloring of any color (your choice) into the glue and water mixture. Stir until even. Slowly add borax mixture while stirring - if the borax isn't completely dissolved you can just pour off the water while not letting the un-dissolved chunks get in. At this point it will start to turn solid and get harder to mix. Once you're done adding the borax, knead the glob with your hands untill there is no more water in the bowl.

*****DISCLAIMER!!!! I've only tested this once, so it may not work all the time - I will work on refining this*****


Afterwards you should have a nice, big glob of something resembling Mars Mud.
As you can see, this is basicly the recipe for Flubber just replacing the Elmer's Glue with clear school glue.

THIS RECIPE STILL NEEDS REFINING!!!! I've only tried it once, and while it worked, it was a complete accident. I will keep testing this and refining it - but at the moment we're out of glue.

A map to unknown places....





Just a map I made using paint.
I'll probably use this for one of my books.
Click on it to enlarge it; it looks much awesomer that way.
Edit: updated the map

Cooking, Books, Games and Cats!

Well, I have a lot to update about, so here goes.

First off:
My recipe for apple crumble!
This was just thrown together for a quick dessert, so the recipe needs refining, but it still tastes great!

Ingredients:
2 apples, skinned, cored and thinly sliced.
1/2 (or maybe 1, I can't remember lol) teaspoon of cinnamon.
1/4 cup of brown sugar.
1/4 cup of walnuts.
1/2 cup of oats.
1 1/2 tablespoons of butter.

Mix together and cook for 30 min on 350 degrees fahrenheit. Let cool and eat!

Alright, up next...
I have been brainstorming book ideas and have one pretty well outlined, and I am working on writing it. I also have 10 more ideas that need to be refined. X.X

Also:
I am also working on two ideas I have for games (one card/board game and one computer game). Since I only have a rough outline of one and the other is extremely complicated I'm not going to try and explain it.

And last but not least:
I don't think I've posted this at all yet, we have a kitten! Well, she's not really that young anymore, but she's really cute! And she has the fluffiest tail in the world!
Just some quick info about her:
Her name is Zen Mousebane, and she's lived up to the name Mousebane!
She's a calico, but instead of black, orange and white fur, she's got gray, orange and white fur.
She has medium fur (but her tail is the most amazing, furry, fluffy, poofy, thing ever!).
She is also the most sweeeetest cat ever! <3 She is very friendly and soft and good-natured :)

Well, I beleive that's all for now!
