It's an incredibly sweet candy you make by boiling sugar, corn syrup, egg whites, vanilla and water to exactly 260 degrees (hard ball stage, requires a candy thermometer), and at the last minute you quickly stir in chopped walnuts before spooning onto waxed paper on a cookie tray. Eat when cool. You can also spread it in a greased and floured pan and cut into bite-size squares when cool, but this is more finicky as you have to work fast. Guaranteed to produce joy in little children and enrich their dentist.

He's. Well. I don't know if he's got any self awareness at all - I'm guessing not - but if he does, he has to be dreading seeing his son again as much as McCain is dreading his inevitable reunion (if you believe) with the Admirals McCain.

But I agree with them: let's have a REAL War on Christmas! Let's NOT SPEND $1,000 on crap, and maybe, instead, spend time with the kids doing something *they* think is fun....

Yes, DEE-vine. You can use other nuts...pistachios are very popular. Or no nuts. Or you can add a tiny drop of food coloring and make them pink or blue or green or purple or yellow, or all of the above, and then you'd have Rainbow Divinity. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

The Hallmark Movie Channel has stopped running Columbo and started running Christmas movies. They're *bragging* that they have 10 new ones this year - what, do they churn them out in factories? So yeah, Christmas?https://www.youtube.com/wat...
