Went to Swope Park today and ate our lunch. In the evening we came home and had some fireworks.

Aunt Kate and Helen came over today. We made peanut brittle.
Peanut Brittle
Place in heavy skillet 1 cup sugar, 1 cup white corn syrup, and 2 cups raw peanuts.
Let cook over medium heat until peanuts begin to pop. The syrup will by then be a golden brown color.
Remove from fire and stir in quickly 1 teaspoon baking soda. Pour onto buttered cookie sheet. When candy is nearly cold, turn it over, stretching to desired thinness. Break in pieces when cold.
