Hello everyone, I'm pleased to share this peanut brittle recipe with you all. My father made this for years. When he became so ill I had to step up to the plate and take over his duties. Dad made this all year long. He gave everyone he met a small bag. Every doctor, nurse, dentist, banker, and everyone who entered his life. His repeat recipients eyes would light up when he gave them their treat. As you all know his last stay in hospital was from June 2023 until he passed away last September 30/2023. I made so many batches of this brittle I lost count. All the hospital staff treated him so good he loved to pass on his love with a smile and a treat bag of brittle.
The most important thing to remember about this recipe is it was designed with/for HIS Microwave! All microwaves are not of the same power. I had to adjust the times for MY microwave and you may very well need too as well. I am posting a picture from Dad's original book and also of the notes I printed out for my Microwave. He/I use SALTED peanuts, it's just better that way. I only use real butter to cook with but if Margarine is your thing have at it.
The secret  to the Brittle being hard and yet full of bubbles is the Baking Soda. It is the last ingredient added. It must be stirred in quickly, it turns the hot brittle white but don't worry the color will change back to that golden color. It is best to work fast, pour the hot brittle on a piece of parchment paper to let it cool. Use a butter coated silicone spatula to level it off. Take care not to over work or flatten the brittle that would remove the bubbles the Baking Soda created. I
If you cooked it correctly when cooled the brittle will crack almost like glass by hitting it with the back of a soup spoon. Don't cool in the fridge as it will sweat. High Humidity will also make it sticky.
Enjoy, If you have any questions let me know. plenty videos on YouTube showing the procedure.

EDIT! THIS 4 MINUTE COOK TIME IS FOR AN OLDER LESS WATTAGE MICROWAVE THAN MINE! THE FIRST COOK AT 4 MIN WILL BURN IN MY MICROWAVE.

Are you talking about the clear without the milk? I attended a supper club (restaurant) over 45 years ago. My wife's boss took us all there. I had a clear seafood type of soup for the appetizer. OMG it was the best seafood I've ever tasted. The place is gone and I've never tasted anything like it since. Actually I think I could almost duplicate it using the clams c/w the clam stock.
Sounds like my next experiment. Lobster, shrimp, Scallops, clams, haddock and salmon. Clear stock no milk. I'll try it in the next few months. 

Well, this is my Clam Chowder recipe. I've had so may people tell me they love this I thought I'd share. Now this is not that THICK WALL PAPER PASTE that so many people rave about. It's full of flavor and full of clams. Her ewe go.
3 x 500ml (pints)bottles of Bar clams( some people call them Quahog clams. Really any canned or bottled clams will do. I don't use those baby clams from overseas yuck!
Enough potatoes according to your liking and the pot size look at my picture to get an idea. I used about 10 small to medium.
1 carrot in quartered and sliced thin just to add color.
1 large onion
1 liter (quart) of chicken broth
2 cans of canned milk
1/4 cup of all purpose flour
Pour the calm juice into a bowel and SAVE, DON'T THROW IT OUT! Dice the clams some parts may be tough and put aside.
Peel the potatoes and dice up into about 1/2 inch cubes. Cook slowly add salt, Cook potatoes in a separate pot. DON'T OVER COOK.
While potatoes are cooking, melt enough butter to cover the bottom of a large dutch oven (my pot is 12"x 6") Add salt to one whole onion diced in 1/4" pieces and the carrot pieces, sate until onions are translucent. 
After the onions are ready add 1/4 cup of flour to the butter and onions to make a rue. Stir quickly and cook the flour for 2-3 minutes.
Whisk in the clam juice to the rue, keep whisking until the rue is smooth. Add the box of Chicken broth and canned milk. bring to a simmer DO NOT BOIL!
THE POTATOES SHOULD BE DONE drain and set aside, add potatoes to the simmering pot, Add the clams and let everything come to a simmer. Let simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow all the flavors to become incorporated.
This recipe is not too thick, I like it that way. Some folks use cream, whole milk etc. Use what you like. The clams should be in salted clam juice, if you like you can buy clam juice to add instead of the chicken broth,
Some folks use salt pork or bacon instead of the butter.
I also made tea biscuits Mmm!
As you can tell I like lots of clams in my clam chowder $45 worth!
 

So, was not around the last 2 nights because my buds band was playing, he was the lead singer of my all rime fav band Monster Truck, he left to follow his heart and a dream, I have been sooooo fortunate to be included in that journey with him, i even introduced him to the guy who is his new lead guitarist for his nrw band, more a country rock/southern rock sound. They opened for a pretty decent Canadian band called Big Wreck this week for 2 back to back shows,i was ofcourse there hanging back stage for both shows and watched them from the side of stage as they performed! 
I was even asked 3 times if I was the band Manager, the one time right infront of my buddy Jon who created the band and is lead singer, i replied that time "Not yet, but let the guy beside me know I play the part well" lol
Few pics and a have a cool video from singing "Hey Tonight" by CCR in the trailer before going on stage but wont load on website dammit
 
Gotta say, it feels amazing to be a part of something from the start and watching it grow and seeing people in crowd react and enjoy the night, totally honored to be accepted by these boys as one of theirs!
 
Check them out on Youtube and Spotify, The Wild High is the name of the band
