What is the Lunch Wagon bringin'?

Let us know where you post it! That sounds good and I have a whole can of peanuts to use up.

I'll post it here and in the desserts area

Peanut Brittle

2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 stick unsalted butter
2/3 cup water
1 1/2 cups lightly salted peanuts

Grease and line a 9 x 13-inch pan with foil.

In a large, heavy saucepan over moderate heat, cook the sugar, butter, and water, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes a golden-brown syrup, about 25 minutes. Remove to a cool surface.

Stir in the peanuts and pour mixture into the pan, spreading the nuts evenly.

Let peanut brittle set and cool before breaking into bite-size pieces. It can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.

Thanks Julie! My SIL was mad because her grandma gave me some homemade peanut brittle and not her (oops!) so I'll make her some.

Turkey sandwich, pretzels and strawberry yogurt. It took a lot of willpower to not stop and get pizza when I was out running errands over lunch!

I had a flu like that a couple of years ago--it felt like I'd been beaten up. Hang in there, you'll get better!
