play dough

Today my husband needed some play dough for a project, so -- what do you mean that kind of thing never happens at your house? Well, if you were sick, you'd have more obscure household projects, and you, too, could have some play dough.

So anyway, today I learned that:

1. If you don't cook it long enough, the dough ends up kind of sticky, but it's really entertaining to throw at the floor.
2. If you cook it long enough, it bounces when you throw it at the floor.
3. The recipe I used might need a little more oil.
4. Homemade play dough smells a little like pie crust. That kind of thing is never bad.
