Advent - Day 3
Dec. 3rd, 2008 08:14 amHow to make a gift with something you have around the house. (Version 1.0)
Take a jar of pasta sauce:

Have dinner. (YUM.)

Soak the label off the jar. Note that the jar is exactly a quart - and some brands actually use Mason Jars. Fancy that.
Fill with your favorite 'cookie/cocoa in the jar recipe' (and look to see what you have on hand first to mate up with a recipe - Snickerdoodles can be made nearly anytime if you keep flour, sugar and cinnamon on hand):

Find festive scraps and decorate (Sunday morning comics can be substituted):

TADA.
