Dr. Hallman gave me many good recipes when I was getting my degree. I remember we were taking a final exam at her house right before Christmas and she proceeded to whip up some Peanut Brittle. With all the carrying on of giving an exam and getting ready for a party, she burned the Brittle. Not to worry, she threw it out and proceeded to make another. The Brittle was great, all crispy and light from pulling and we even got our course grade that night! I wonder if she graded that exam.
