Happy National Peanut Brittle Day and Happy Spouse's Day

Peanut brittle - a dentist's dream candy.  I am partial to Pay Day candy bars but that isn't peanut brittle, but it's kind of close.  One myth of how peanut brittle came to be is that a Southern lady mistakenly used baking soda instead of cream of tartar while making taffy.  You can make your own peanut brittle but a candy thermometer is recommended when working with caramel.  Another tip:  don't try to make it on a humid day, it won't hold it's shape.

Speaking of holding your shape (😉), if you have or had a spouse, think about the good times and, if possible, create new memories to think about in the year's to come.  It's a good day for families to share good memories of parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.  If you don't have a spouse yet, it's a great time to pray and dream about the kind of person you would like as a spouse and thank God for him/her.

This verse is telling us to think about God but let's also thank God for loved ones.
Deuteronomy 32:7a Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past.
