Those of you that regularly read my blog know that I cannot make candy. I fail at candy making ! I have tried my entire life to make fudge and divinity. Well I made this fudge a couple of months ago and it worked. Yesterday it turns out was the perfect day to make divinity. There was not a drop of humidity anywhere near my house and I was not a failure at making divinity AGAIN! I’m so happy with myself. So you ask what does it take to have perfection at Divinity? First of all follow the recipe to a T. I have to laugh at this because I pulled out my mother-in-law’s recipe and the directions are so vague. I had to fill in the gaps which was quite scary because none of the previous recipes that I used were a success. Second, choose a day that is dry and clear. Absolutely no humidity is best. Third, be patient.

Ina’s Roasted Butternut Squash Salad
A good salad make me happy… very happy! This is a good one. Butternut squash has not shown itself on our menus here at our house very often. I do house “somewhat” of a picky eater. I do love this butternut squash soup. It’s good enough to drink with a straw. And this Roasted butternut squash may not make it to your table. You can’t help but nibble on it right out of the oven! So when I was perusing my cookbooks looking for a salad for my upcoming book club I found this perfect salad to serve with this soup.
