I had a nice Christmas, but as things turned out, I wasn’t able to make my divinity. I always use a candy thermometer when I make it. My mom was a pro at making it without a candy thermometer, but I prefer using one. So, I was all set to make the divinity a few days ago, but I discovered that somehow my candy thermometer had broken. So, I thought – no big deal, I’ll buy a new one and I could still make my divinity on Christmas eve when I got off work early because we close at 6 pm on Christmas eve. Well, my fridge was pretty stuffed with food for Christmas dinner and when I opened my refrigerator door on Christmas eve to make the divinity, the egg carton fell out of the fridge and all the eggs fell out and smashed on the floor. The stores were all closed by that time so I couldn’t buy more eggs. So instead, I used the time that I would have used making divinity and I cleaned my upstairs bathroom and did some kitchen cleaning too. It is what it is. I have enough other sweet stuff to eat anyway, since one of my Christmas gifts was a tin of assorted candies & treats. I still miss having divinity though.
