The BEST homemade playdough EVER! (Modeling Dough recipe from Discovery Toys)

1 c. flour
1 c. water
1 T. oil
1/2 c. salt (I use superfine popcorn salt! so smooth, so creamy!)
1 t. cream of tartar
food coloring (I add a package of unsweetened koolaid powder - color and smell! Knead it in after cooking.)

Mix ingredients in a pan. Cook over medium heat until mixture pulls away from sides of pan and becomes doughy in consistency. Knead until cool. Model different colors of clay into any shape you can imagine.

Not edible.
Can be used over and over again.
Keeps 3 months unrefrigerated. One recipe fits perfectly in a margarine tub or frosting container.

Bladder Football
(for my REAL LIFE blogfriends, who I know have been dying for these directions.)

From Aunt Beth, who said, "Phil always got this. I wondered why but now I know I wouldn't want to do this."

Remove bladder from freshly butchered hog. Leave the tube attached. Wash under the pump or hose until clean. (Some urine may be left in it until washed good.) Blow up with a hand pump until very tight. (Don' t be squeamish, after all, all footballs are made from pig skin.) Tie with a strong string very tight. Let dry and Wow! You have a good ball. Can be painted if desired.
