All around a pretty good Friday and not even one of the get-paid ones.

Happy Friday! It was a pretty good day.

( And it wasn't even payday... )

Peanut Brittle.

Here in the Mid-Atlantic, there's about two weeks left before humidity becomes A Thing again. In this space of time, you can still have peanut brittle if you want it and haven't managed it yet this year. After humidity becomes A Thing, though, efforts in the general direction of peanut brittle are disappointing and you should really wait until the cold of November to give it a go.

Also, since peanut brittle goes directly to your ass and stays there for the next thirty years, it is critical to make the absolute best peanut brittle possible. If you're gonna eat this shit, which is absolutely no good for you, you ought make sure it's worth it. (Old Dominion, you are not worth it. Planter's? You are also not worth it. The stuff below the cut... well... yeah. Once a year, it is totally worth it.)
