Unity Theatre presents Little Mary Sunshine

Presents:

June 9-26, 2011

Little Mary Sunshine a musical by Rick Besoyan

It's a simpler time, There's a good man for every virtuous woman, justice always triumphs, and God blesses America.

This is a musical spoof of old-time operettas. It's not modern. It's not edgy. It's the sweet story of Little Mary, who knows the handsome hero is courageous, villains will be defeated, and nothing must dim a sunny dispositions.

How Do You Keep Brown Sugar from Getting Hard Lumps

Do any of your out there have trouble with you brown sugar getting hard?

-I know I have heard of placing a piece of bread in

with the brown sugar and

-Placing brown sugar in plastic baggies

... But here is my solution

This is a piece of clay that has been fired, but not glazed. You simply soak it in water, pat it dry and place it in you brown sugar jar or bag.

It can be used over and over again by simply soaking it again.

I got mine at Martha's Bloomers, but any specialty store will probably have them.
