Making Peanut Brittle

I have been slack about downloading pictures lately, so have a few days to catch up on.  A couple of weeks ago when Mallory & Clara were here we made peanut brittle.  It was my turn that night to take refreshments to circle meeting at church, so I decided to make some to go with the veggie tray and cheese & crackers.  Cooking is always fun with the girls.  We actually sat out on the front porch & shelled the raw peanuts to use.  Clara wasn’t a big fan of the peanut shelling.  She told me she hoped that was the most boring part of what we were doing that afternoon :-).untitled

She does, however, LOVE greasing a pan.  She also loves pulling the cooked chicken off the bone.  Just likes getting in there and getting the food underneath her fingernails, I guess.  It was a fun afternoon, and the peanut brittle was yummy!     I’m also glad I got these pictures because it was Veterans Day, and they were dressed in their red, white, and blue for their program at school. 🙂untitled
