For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called
Wonderful,
Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.

Today’s Lagniappe:  Never Fail Divinity
I had a little trouble with my divinity this past weekend. My wonderful friend from high school Tamara Gouge Ketter sent me her recipe for Never Fail Divinity. Tamara says, “This recipe was contributed to THE NINETIES COOKBOOK by the Garvin County, Oklahoma Extension homemakers by May Lacy.  I made this for my dad who was a divinity aficionado and he loved it.” Thanks so much Tamara – no more trying to beat egg whites in the Southern humidity!

1 1/2 cups sugar                   1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup water                        1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 one pint jar marshmallow creme

Combine sugar, water and salt in saucepan.  Cook to 250 degrees on candy thermometer, hard ball stage.  Place marshmallow creme in large mixer bowl.  Add hot syrup gradually, beating consistently until soft peaks form.  Fold in pecans and vanilla. ( If it still seems too soft I had a little powdered sugar, maybe a teaspoonful.)  Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper.  Let stand until firm.  Yield:  20 servings.

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    May I just say what a relief to discover an individual who truly understands what they’re talking about online. You actually know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people should read this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised that you aren’t more popular given that you certainly possess the gift.
