Divinity
The snowy peaks outside inspired me to try my hand at these little treats. My Gram always made the best divinity; I'll have to practice some more on mine. They aren't too shabby, but I have a candy thermometer on my shopping list for next time. Maybe then I'll achieve a candy that's truly "divine".
They look simply divine! (Here's a little hint or two = Gram always added chopped walnuts 'cept the ones for me cuz I don't like walnuts! And, they do look great, but candy thermometer or no - if there is too much humidity in the air, they just don't turn out quite right. I could never understand why we always make candy that depends on humidity in the winter time when there is way too much. Humidity, that is. There is NEVER way too much candy!*toothless grin on my fat face*
I love the Lord who is the Master Gardener, my beautiful family, my humble home, and all things organic, natural, and ancient.
"I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. I am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." John 15: 1 & 5
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Amen
