Inspired for Chocolate

A Facebook friend commented last night that she was making Rice Krispie treats. I said that we make the Chocolate Scotcheroos version of the snack. Today would be a great day to make this simple and yummy treat with the girls.

So, in typical Sue J. fashion, we dive into making a treat before we check the pantry.

"Light corn syrup. We should have that." (Er.... half that.)

"OK, we'll make half a batch."

"Rice cereal, chocolate chips.... [Pause] Butterscotch chips. Uh oh!" (Er...substitute for butterscotch chips.....)

"Oh, we can use the caramel sauce in the refrigerator! It has to melt with the chocolate chips anyway."



And off we went from there.



Peanut butter in the melted sugar, then add the cereal.


Press mixture into pan. Pour and spread chocolate/caramel sauce on top. Let stand (away from hungry girls) until set.

The gooey chocolate made me think of an unfortunate incident for a tractor-trailer truck riding on I-95 yesterday. The truck, full of candy, tipped over! (Thanks for the tip, Kelly. I mean, not that you did the tipping or anything. Though, if you actually got some chocolate, you might have tipped them....)

Slice and EAT!



Lick fingers and lips multiple times.



Yummy good!

Yum.
BTW, When a truck tips over, supposedly none of the contents can be used for retail regardless of the condition. HOWEVER, they have been known to share with firefighters...
yep, those were the days.

Of course we never had a candy truck. We did have a truck full of live chickens. That just wasn't quite the same as candy..

On this Merry Christmas Night....

Merry Christmas, blog friends! I know you're wondering, "Did she finish painting her family room (finally....)??" (Nope!) * * * D oesn't this look like how our days are sometimes? Myriad things scattered about, unfinished. Trying to take a cozy, restful seat by the fire, but still that seat stays empty. We try to make things brighter, but the light strings don't quite have the power to make things clear for us. And we wonder how many coats it will take to cover up what had been there before, without splotches and unevenness. (Three may just be right--sigh....!) * * * We may have things unfinished. We may have "miscalculated" the use of our time. Or perhaps we were called away to other things for which we were needed, even if they weren't part of our plans. Even in our peaceful approach to Christmas, that seat of rest may be vacant. But the opportunity to "Be still...." doesn't always lie in a cozy sea...

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that...
