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.

    Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Spending some time and actual effort to create a good article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.
