How to Do Tie Dye - 70's Style

Here is a 1970's, Vegetable Soup's - Mr. Emeritus, animation on How to Do Tie Dye. It's a funny little animation that brings us all back to the days of drawing out the characters by hand on paper, no computer. Plus it's a fun way to learn about tie-dyeing.

Pumpkin Soup

I love watching the food network for great recipes and ideas. I think cooking is so much fun especially this time of year, almost as fun as eating the great food afterwards. This is a great soup by Rachael Ray, I love this woman she is awesome. Her meals are great and fast to make, so if you are someone on the go alot it is only thirty minutes. I hope you enjoy.
