When The Lights Go Out


When the windstorm hit last month, we lost electricity for more than half the day. We were quite happy when we were suddenly back on grid at 4pm. I was already looking to round up the candles I've stashed in several places around our home.
I hit upon this recipe for making one's own candles... adding essential oils for scent and some color is a choice. Just make sure there are no little ones in the kitchen while working with the hot wax.
Be sure to store these in at room temperature or less. In a too hot garage, they could melt somewhat. And always keep a good box of matches with them!
