 CS> Havent decided on fried or stewed.  I have a can of pre-made, and a
 CS> bag of dry.  I'm setting some of the dry to soften in hot water in a
 CS> few minutes since it's the weekend and I want to save the can for a
 CS> fast meal.  I go with all those spices except the cinnimon doesnt seem
 CS> to match at the same time so will leave that out.

Dried reconstituted chickpeas are just as good as the canned,
but I figure a few hours is more like than a few minutes.

 CS> Snicker, Charlotte gained a bit too much lately!  Not radical mind you
 CS> but she's 5'4" and 142 (of which a significant part is that 36D chest
 CS> that sprouted up over the summer).  Heheh my bras are safe again!  She
 CS> can't fit in'em!

You have a few long anxious years ahead!

 CS> Ahem, I did my time looking like Twiggy, thanks....  Slowly gaining
 CS> back up to 117 now.  I'm best at 125.

You can never be too thin or too happy. But it's hard to be
thin when you're happy. Enjoy the both while you can.

 CS> Nancy (executive assistant 'secretary') keeps bringing me little
 CS> noshes.  I think I'll make her a loaf of bread this weekend as she
 CS> likes the good stuff but doesnt know how to make it.

You've suddenly become distinguished enough to have a secretary
who butters you up with little noshes? Congrats.

Cashew Brittle
cat: candy
yield: 2 lb

1 1/2 ts baking soda
1 ts water
1 ts vanilla extract
1 1/2 c sugar
1 c water
1 c light corn syrup
3 Tb butter
1 pound cashews

Butter two cookie sheets and keep warm. Mix baking soda,
1 ts of water, and vanilla extract; reserve. Mix sugar,
1 c water, and the corn syrup in 3 qt saucepan. Cook over
medium heat, stirring occasionally, to 240F on a candy
thermometer (or until small amount of mixture dropped
into very cold water forms a soft ball that flattens
when removed from water).

Stir in the butter and cashews. Cook, stirring constantly
until temperature reaches 300F or until a small amount of
the mixture dropped into very cold water separates into
threads that are hard and brittle, about 5 to 10 min.
Watch carefully so mixture does not burn. Immediately
remove from heat; stir in baking soda mixture. The
mixture will bubble.

Pour half of the candy mixture onto each cookie sheet and
quickly spread about 1/4" thick and cool. Break into pieces.

NOTE: The brittle can be stored in an airtight container
at room temperature for up to one month.
