I'm not sure why it would be oily. Did you use a pressure cooker or a crockpot? Maybe you lost too much moisture.
I'm sorry I'm not more help!

Café Zupas Tomato Basil Soup
I have been trying to find a tomato soup recipe that I love for...forever. I have tried canned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, roasted, sun dried, etc etc. Always disappointed. Always. I do love the tomato basil soup at Café Zupas and there are lots of recipes out there that say their recipe taste...

I actually made them. I googled for the image and then printed it onto clear labels. It's not a very good quality image, but it worked for the kids.

The file is a pdf so the images and words are not able to move around. You should make sure your printer settings are set to print one pdf page to one printed page. I opened it here and printed and it worked.

Super Mario Party: Piranha Plant Cups
One of the party favors for the Mario party, were these Piranha plants. I bought some small plastic glasses at a party store (in the wedding section) and Jefferson & I painted them to look like the piranha plants in the game. Since the paint can easily come off with water, I didn't want ...

You put a drop or two of food coloring in the bottom of a mason jar. Then you put a spoonful of baking soda over the top. Give each kid a jar. Fill small glasses or shot glasses with vinegar and tell the kids that it is magic liquid. They think it is the clear liquid that changes the color of the baking soda. When they pour the vinegar onto the baking soda, it fizzes and bubbles. Each jar will be the color of the food coloring in the bottom of the jar.
Thanks everyone for your kind words! I hope you all have great parties!!

The eyeballs are just an image I found on the internet. I just googled "eyeball" and then printed the image out on a 8.5 x 11 paper and cut them out. I then glued them to the poster.
