Peeps and Pinterest

A to Z challenge day is the letter P. There is a phenomena here in the U.S. of a candy called peeps. They show up around springtime, a marshmallow sugar coated confection. Highly addictive. 

Who knew you could combine Peeps and artwork? The Racine Art Museum - 16th-annual-peeps-exhibition is holding the Art Exhibition 2025 which runs through April 26. Here is one of the entries.

Pinterest is my go-to site for recipes. I have also been "pinning" on those boards for some time now. Pinterest is also the top referring site to my blog. On my boards pinterest.com/thriftshpcomndo/  you will find Top Tami Posts on my blog, the Countdown to Christmas, and the posts for this current challenge pinterest.com/thriftshpcomndo/2025-blogging-from-a-to-z-challenge/

I couldn't resist posting this recipe from the 1993 Mary Meade's Country Cookbook.

Popcorn Balls

1/3 cup molasses                                2 tblsp. butter
1/3 cup light or dark corn syrup         2 quarts popped corn
1/3 cup water                                      2 cups salted peanuts
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

Combine molasses, syrup, and water in a saucepan; add sugar and salt. Stir and heat until sugar dissolves, then cook rapidly to hard-ball stage. Add butter. Pour syrup slowly over corn and nuts, stirring to coat all kernels. While mixture is still warm, shape into balls with the hands.
