  3. willow - what type of soap did you use? beautiful shine!
  4. My grandfather died without providing weights for the ingredients to our caramel for apples.... Rather it was “a scoop of sugar” “a tin of milk” “a spade of seasoning”......my nightmare....what size scoop? What size tin, and what kind of milk? A spade full of seasoning?? Come on..... i lucked into a caramels, toffee and fudge class and the instructors sat down with me and we calculated the weights. I was heartened by comments such as “this is a very premium caramel....” when we finished, they looked at me and said “keep this and share it with your family, so they don’t have to go through this in the future”
  5. Hoping you had a quiet night......a very quiet night
  6. We took our (then 7 year old) daughter to a factory tour of Herr’s potato chips. They had ketchup chips for sale and she wanted to try them. She fell in love with them, sadly they are as scarce as hens teeth around where we lived, and live. Friends of ours took their grandchildren to the same tour recently. We asked them to get us a bag.....and when we saw her two weeks ago, as she was presented with a bag of Herr’s potato chips, well, let’s just say that her inner 7 year old came bounding out.....

  8. I don’t have any clue what a “cottage ham” is, but my mother would take the ham bone (and some of the meat) and boil it with a head of cabbage and potatoes. Called it “boiled dinner”. (Caveat: this particular has never, and will never be prepared in my home)
  9. The great artists from the Renaissance used strategically placed oak leafs tomgreat advantage.
  10. There is something VERY WRONG in this post. Am I the only person to see it?? Kerry has NO areas of weakness!! She has, IMHO, one of the best minds, talent and skill I’ve ever been fortunate to be around.
  11. Wow. As if he was restating a lesson?? Interesting.

  13. 1 cup Karo dark syrup 1 cup sugar 1 1/3 cup peanut butter 6 cups Special K cereal 6 oz dark chocolate chips 6 oz butterscotch chips bring the karo and sugar to a boil; take off heat and add the peanut butter. Stir/combine. stir in the Special K spread in a 9x13 pan melt the chips together and spread on top, let cool. cut into bite size pieces super easy.
