Chronicle the fun things, jobs, people, etc. etc. etc. It's the first of July, this will be my first entry since the holidays.<br />
What a summer its been so far. I've been in Pulaski, TN traveling to North Carolina for work. (I know, and we thought the 405 was hard). Work so far has been great fun and in an amazing part of the country that until now I haven't been that familiar with. I also got to be a day player in the movie as the sausage maker in the HOB. Of course, they decided to not have sausage so I became the sausage maker with soup talents..., Got a cool haircut and fun wardrobe. Maybe you 'll be able to spot me when it comes out. Not sure what they are going to call it, but its based on the Hunger Games trilogy.<br />
<br />
Now for the hometown saga. My friend Barbara and I were trying to open a little deli take out here in a funky little space that used to be a pole dancing studio. We were suppose to get the lease on July 1. Two weeks ago we had nice little thunderstorm here with what some called a small twister. We didn't find out until the next big rain, 5 days later, that the little twister had taken the skin roofing of our building and rolled it up to the edge like a big paper towel. So all the rain water flowed freely from the second to the first floor leaving the ceilings of both on their respective floors and those floors soaked with water. I discovered this while rapidly packing the truck to run to Asheville for a last minute<br />
schedule change with my 6 slow roasted rabbits and 15 Cornish hens for rabbit stand ins (movie magic)<br />
<br />
I spent the next two days on a mountain in the woods in Asheville warming up rabbit. Got back to Pulaski and to the reality of "life is what happens while your planning something else." Deli be gone. For now any way.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to the big 4th of July weekend. Time to have some fun. Right. Got invited to go to the river with my niece and her friends on the 3rd. Yeah, break out the thong. (Joking). As my niece was pulling into the driveway of my kitchen to pick me up, my sister called to say that my brothers restaurant was on fire..... I jump into her car and we speed to the Hickory House to see a big firetruck and an ambulance and several firefighters on the roof and in the smoke house battling the last of the fire. They were able to save the biggest section of the restaurant, but the smoke house part was pretty much a disaster. This started about an hour before they were opening for the day. Unfortunately, one of his employees had to go to the hospital with burns on both arms trying to put out the fire.<br />
<br />
So, for those who don't know, this is my brother Butch, who has had this space for 25 years with his wife Renay. He's been citizen of the year twice here in Pulaski for his generosity to the community. He's also recuperating from his second bone marrow transplant. And he's a character. For the last three days I've been working 12 hours a day helping clean up after and start the rebuilding process. We hope to have him up and running by the end of the week. <br />

White Popcorn Balls<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">1 tsp vinegar</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">1 tsp vanilla</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Butter sides of saucepan. In it combine granulated sugar, water, salt, syrup, and vinegar. Cook to hard-ball stage (250F). Stir in vanilla. Pour hot mixture slowly over popped corn, butter hands lightly and shape into grapefruit sized balls.</span><br />
<br />
Pink Popcorn Balls<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Prepare as white but remove vanilla..Add 1/4 tsp red food coloring and 1/4 peppermint extract to cooked syrup mixture instead.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Add food coloring, a few drops at a time to the gelatin, mixing well to obtain desired color. Dip a few marshmallows by hand into water. Drain excess moisture by shaking in paper towel. Roll marshmallows in gelatin and allow to dry thoroughly. Wear latex gloves!!</span><br />
<br />
Assembly<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Arrange on a flat plate or tray in a pyramid shape using toothpicks to secure the levels. You can add candy canes, ribbons, or pipe royal icing holly leaves... Then hide all imperfections with marshmallows!</span><br />
