Caramel Corn

This recipe is good for all of us who need something sweet.
2C Brown sugar
1/2C Dark corn syrup
1/2t Baking soda
1C Salted peanuts--optional
1C Butter
1t Salt
1C Un-popped popcorn
Pop popcorn and keep warm in 2 pans (9+13) in oven at 250. Combine sugar, butter, syrup, and salt-boil slow for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda; pour immediately over popcorn. Bake 1 hour, mixing every 15 minutes at 250 degrees. Pour out on wax paper to cool. Store in air tight container.

I guess today's lesson is patience. My dear friend has more than most people and that is why Jackie is a great gift in my life and my families. Make sure you tell your friends how much they mean to you.

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
