With April's contest being all about the rain, lets add a little bit of light and set May's contest to total minutes of sunshine! That will brighten things up a bit I hope! For the month of May, there are a total of 27,878 minutes of sunshine during the month. Hopefully, there will be lots of sunshine on the summit this coming May.
This month's rules:
1. One submission per ID
2. There cannot be any duplicates. If someone has guessed that number first, they own the number for the month. There are plenty of numbers to choose from
3. If there is no winner, the person closet to the final number will be declared the winner
4. The official number will come from the F6 report for the month of May
5. Anyone can enter the contest, including those that happen to work on the summit (they sure are lucky!)
6. Any attempt to keep the summit clear of clouds so more sunshine can pour down onto the summit is prohibited. This includes setting up some sort of giant fan that is powerful enough to push the clouds away
7. And finally, have fun with this!
All entries need to be in by April 30th, at 11:59 PM. Good luck everyone

NVIDIA is launching yet another new member of the GeForce GTX 700 series today, the freshly minted GeForce GTX 760. Like the GeForce GTX 770 which arrived just a few weeks ago, the new GeForce GTX 760 is built around the company's GK104 GPU—the very same chip used last year's GeForce GTX 680 and a few other GTX 600 series cards. The GeForce GTX 760, however, targets a different market segment and is debuting at a much more palatable price point than its predecessors. We've got a couple of GeForce GTX 760 cards on hand to show you here, a reference model that came straight from NVIDIA and a fully custom, factory overclocked version from EVGA, the GeForce GTX 760 Super Clocked with ACX cooling...
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Mainstream GPU Review
I have a 660 Ti. I think I'll wait for a new architecture in the 800 series before I upgrade.
Nice review Marco, that's a good pair of cards for a good price.
If I hadn't just bought two EVGA GTX-680s recently, I would be interested in them.
Dogs are great judges of character, and if your dog doesn't like somebody being around, you shouldn't trust them.
i'm getting this on november, hope it runs well the next 2 years games
Definitely considering this as it is time to upgrade.
These 700 series are nice for those who still have a 500 or lesser series cards, but anyone with a 600 series ought wait for the 800's. I have a 660 ti and i know for sure that I'll be waiting for the 860 ti before I upgrade.
I really want to get a new graphics card but at the same time, if I do I might need to change my motherboard and processor and everything else too. I really want to get this one though the specs are looking amazing.
Really want this!!!! Would fit my budget perffffect :)
Interesting, but I'm more interested in a 660TI seems to work in similar maner, and can run most games on high or ultra.
I'll stick with the 780, thank you.
Can someone explain the difference in geforce or evga and that sort of thing? i just bought, a 680Ti for my gaming computer, nothing too hard core but i was always curios if its based on nvidia, do they license to evga or what?
Thanks for the review. I'm looking to upgrade soon and this could be the card considering the cost.
I so need a new video card set up. i am running dual 560ti soc's in sli and they run extremly hot and perform ok., but its really time to upgade. what should i do get 790's or wait for the new 800 chipsets?
Man I really wish I'd waited to buy my gtx 670 I didn't think nvidia would come out back to back like that. I could have got 680 for what I paid for my 670
I like company's that make products that are great and at a lower cost and this graphics card just shows how great the company is and that company is called Nivida
This card has good specs and doesn't have a terrible price. It's a good buy.
I want this card but I can't, because I don't have the money for an ultimate pc to put this card in. :(
I run the 660 and almost every game I have can be run on ultra. However, if I can see needing the faster speeds if you're doing video rendering. Very nice card
I think its one oft the Best Graphic - Cards in the World, but why are there never more then 1 HDMI output?
I want to get one of this, by EVGA, which will be the ACX Superclocked Edition.
ACX Versions really getting more effiency, I'm saying about 20%!
Can someone explain the difference in geforce or evga and that sort of thing?
Can someone explain the difference in geforce or evga and that sort of thing?
EVGA is a company that uses NVIDIA's chips in the video cards that they make. They have been a NVIDIA Partner for a long time. They have a reputation for quality and excellent customer service.
They are a good choice for PC Users.
I personally think the GTX 760 is the best bang for your buck out there right now, and has the better power to price ratio then any other gpu in the past 3 years
AKnudson - Nvidia designs the GPU's and EVGA, Palit, Galaxy etc. make the cards as well. It is similar to Intel or AMD processors found in HP, Gateway, Dell, etc. computers. Same product just different tweaks by different manufacturer's. Most gaming GPU's are either Nvidia (big Green) or AMD (big Red). It is like Ford or Chevy basically. Hope my layman analogies help you out.

Comments about Touring T/A:
Had these installed on my Buick Century and thought the mechanics must have left something loose.
When driving on the highway or on in town roads the tires/ car wanders left and right way more than it ever did with the Michelins that were on it previously. These tires don't have the feel or feedback they should have, you're never quite sure when the car is going to go left or right. Thinking that this must be a fluke with this car, I had 2 put on the back of my Accord, This car always felt planted sporty and sure until I put the T/A Touring tires on the rear, now it feels loose and wiggly in the rear.
Sorry but I can't recommend these tires.

Comments about Touring T/A:
I just purchased the third set tire for my 2003 Impala. We live down a dirt road and we drive a lot miles each year. The previous two set went way beyond our exceptions that is why we purchased them again. They have been great for our all seasonal driving in the different weather conditions that can be produced in South Dakota. I would highly recommend these tires to anyone and I have told other about them as well. I also have BF Goodrich tires on my SUV which I taken into some pretty mean country and I have faired very well.

In coordination with Operation Homefront, a national nonprofit organization aimed at helping veterans after they return home, about 15 Home Depot employees chipped in Saturday to improve and beautify the Akers' Euharlee home.
After six years active duty, Akers now serves in the National Guard and lives in Euharlee with his wife Jessica and their 21-month-old son. Matt Akers, recipient of a Bronze Star during his time in Iraq, helped Home Depot volunteers landscape his yard and rebuild their back deck. Humble and grateful for the support, Akers was shocked by the volunteers' willingness to help — all were taking unpaid time off to lend a hand and at least one came out during his vacation.
"It's amazing. I can't even believe it. I'm still in shock. It still doesn't feel real," Akers said.
In addition to Home Depot employees swinging hammers, picks and shovels, neighbors also saw a need and pitched in to help. Some brought over ATVs, others ice or refreshments, while one neighbor insisted on preparing a spaghetti lunch for all the volunteers.
"It means a lot that people are so willing to come take time out of their own day. You just don't expect it. But we really appreciate it. We live in an amazing community," Jessica Akers said. "Home Depot is here, Operation Homefront is coming and we have such amazing neighbors. They have all been so involved. Our neighbors are making everyone lunch and our neighbors are like our family, which is nice because in active duty we were used to having the families from the post all around us and now coming here to have the support of everybody really makes it feel like home.
"It means a lot to military families that are transitioning from the active duty world to the civilian world during this recession with the lack of jobs and all the big changes emotionally — having this support makes the transition easier."
In 2011, Home Depot committed $30 million to veteran housing projects and in 2012 has already surpassed their goals of giving and pledged another $50 million over the next three years. During the month of September, Home Depot is adding a special emphasis to veteran support and has projects in place across the country. The local Home Depot district has completed six projects this month alone, including one in Adairsville conducted by the Jasper and Canton Home Depot stores.
"We've got a set of core values as a company and one of them is giving back. So we were just fortunate enough to come out here and give back to this family," said Cartersville Home Depot Store Manager Matt Sellers. "What he did was something I could never do. What we're doing pales in comparison to the sacrifices this man made for us, as well as the hundreds of other veterans Home Depot is helping out. As a company, we value what they have done for us. So if we can come out and dig some holes and put some boards up, that's a pretty small way to say thank you."

With the falling of the mercury this week my thoughts return to when I was a small boy and the things my parents did as they prepared for another winter.
Wednesday, 28 August 2013 13:04
There are only a handful of vacations I can remember from my childhood. That's partly because we didn't get to take very many. Our first, of only two I can remember as a child, was a trip to the Smoky Mountain National Park in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

With the aim of a marksman, the speed of a bullet, and the skill of a craftsman, yours truly was sort of a legend in the game of marbles as a young boy. Back then it was a game played by all from age 5 to 50, boys and girls, and even men and women. But we called the game "marvels".
Wednesday, 10 July 2013 13:06
Kennedy was President and Mt. Dew hadn't been introduced yet. It was 1963 when my brother Ronnie and me, got our first job. It wasn't a glamorous job but it was a paying one. Dad had got us a job with the Pepsi and Coke truck drivers at Dobson and we would sort pop bottles for 2 cents a case. Today, that don't seem like a lot of money but you have to remember, it was 1963.
Back then all pop was sold in 10 or 12 ounce glass bottles. That was before pop came in the aluminum cans, plastic 16-ounce and plastic 2 liter bottles. The big 16-ounce bottles would come a little later after Mr. Cola introduced them and then, the other companies followed not long after.
Dobson's was 'the store' that did most of the business and they moved a lot of pop. The Pepsi Cola route manager once told Dad that Clay County was #1 in the whole USA in sells, in relation to the population.
My Aunt Bootie was the first person I had seen drink Pepsi for breakfast. Most everyone else drank coffee and all of us thought it was a little strange. But today I must admit, I drink it for breakfast too.
My wife even thinks she is addicted to the Diet Pepsi. She drinks almost a 12 pack a day and if she runs out, she gets really nervous. I told the doctors once when she was in the hospital, "…You need to put Diet Pepsi in Margy's I.V. and she'll get better quicker!" Everyone laughed but it was true, she has to have her Diet Pepsi.
Most people here in Clay County would have to agree, I believe more pop is consumed here than water. And by the number of pop bottles we sorted each week it really showed. But the more bottles, the more money for my brother and me.
Mom would drive us to Dobson's on Friday evening after school and we would work until closing and ride home with Dad. Then, on Saturday morning we would ride to work with Dad and work until we were finished, which was usually most of the day. With the 2 cents for each case came a little fringe benefit of the job, we got to keep all of the "odd" bottles.
Now, I know I will have to explain a little further on the term "odd" bottles. I'm not talking about the numbers of 3,6,9,and 11, what I'm talking about is the bottles of the companies that Dobson's didn't accept.
Back then, there were more brands of pop than you could ever imagine. Some of the names were Cumberland Valley, Grapette, Nehi, Crush, Brownie, Day's, Squirt, NuGrape, Red Rock, Sun Drop and even 7up were considered "odd" bottles.
When the customers would bring in their return bottles, no one checked the empties real close to see if the bottles were the ones that were sold at Dobson's so, we got to keep all of them to sell to the stores who did sell them. Dr. Pepper and 7up both were separate companies to themselves. Today, they are sold through the Pepsi Cola Bottling Company at Corbin.
Let me explain a little more about our job of sorting of the bottles. We would get the paper cartons of six that were returned to the store for deposit and make sure all of the Pepsi, Coke, and RC Cola bottles were in their own wooden cases. After completing a case of one brand, the bottles were then stacked 5 high together by brand to be picked up by the truck driver. Ever stack of 5 cases of 24, meant a nickel apiece in our pockets. But if we broke a good bottle, we had to pay a penny to the store for that. So we were real careful with our bottles.
Sometimes on a weekend, we would sort over 300 cases of empty bottles. Whenever the truck driver picked up his bottles he would leave 2 cents for every case we sorted with Dad. Most times we would have about $3.00 each for a day and a half work.
Then at the end of the day, we gathered up all of the "odd" bottles and loaded them into Dad's trunk of his car to take to Lettie's Tiger Grill at Sibert or to Theo Hibbard's at Pennington Hill. Some weeks, we would have somewhere from100 to 200 of them to sell to the little stores that sold the "odd" brands at a penny each. That would mean an extra dollar each also, pretty good money for a couple of young boys in the early 60's. We felt like millionaires.
I'll have to say, Dad brought our family up right. "You earn your way by the sweat of your brow." and "A little hard work never hurt nobody!" were two of the 'Miller Laws' he always preached. He also said, "Any job worth doing, is worth doing right." Those sayings still holds true today but it seems too many people have forgotten them.
"Nothing is free. But with hard work, you can have anything you want." Dad often said.
After my pop bottle job, I moved up to sweeper. And what kind of a job was that, you might ask? Well, exactly what it sounds like, I cleaned up the parking lot a Dobson's by sweeping it with a broom. That job paid $5.00 a week. A pretty good 'pay raise' even if I do say so myself.
Yep, I started working when I was just a young boy and I've been working ever since. For that, I thank my Father who did the same.
Wednesday, 26 June 2013 12:53
Being from a family of five boys and two girls, each one of us had our special way of learning to drive. When Jackie, my sister, was just a baby, Dad would let her sit in his lap and let her steer the car most of the way up Paw Paw. Gary, my oldest brother, learn to drive not long after he could walk.

Shell offers heavy-duty technician scholarships
Posted: Jun 6, 2007 10:40 AM | Last Updated: Mar 27, 2012 09:28 AMCALGARY -- Shell Canada and the Heavy Duty Distributor Council of Canada (HDDC) are teaming up to help address the shortage of technical workers in the trucking industry with the introduction of the Heavy Duty Technician Scholarship. The goal of the program is to provide financial assistance to Canadian students in a transport-related program to support the next generation of skilled workers. Shell and the HDDC, a non-profit corporation serving the heavy-duty after market, will provide six regional scholarships of $1,000 each. Beginning this September, students enrolled in their second year of a transport-related program in a CAMPE institution, are eligible to apply for the scholarship. The recipients will be chosen based on their academic merit, financial need and desire to contribute positively to the future of the trucking industry. "Shell is helping today's students keep tomorrow's fleet on the road," said Les Markiewicz, general manager of Shell Commercial Sales and Marketing. "The scholarship is the first of its kind for the Canadian transport industry, and is our way of offsetting the financial challenges of training students pursuing a career in road transport."

The Eagles took a big first half lead and never looked back, beating Bryn Athyn 76-62 on Think Pink night Tuesday.
The Screaming Eagles showed some signs of playing a back to back early in the game. Bryn Aythn took an early 10-6 lead after forcing consecutive turnovers by the Eagles. Ashley Pledger got the Eagles going with nailing a 3 pointer to give the Eagles a lead at 16-15. Ashley continued her stellar first half, hitting back to back layups to open the Eagles lead up at 22-15. Bryn Athyn fought back to cut the lead to 5. Cheyenne Grant however, knocked down 2 straight buckets to reopen the lead, at 39-27. The Eagles closed out the half shooting 52% from the floor, and taking a 41-29 halftime lead.
The second half started off better for the Eagles. Cheyenne Grant knocked down a jumper to get within 2 points shy of 1,000 on her career. With 12:05 remaining in the half, Grant knocked down a 3 pointer to give her 1,001 points in her career. The game was stopped while Cheyenne was given flowers and took a picture with Coach Degenhardt. She also gave the Eagles their largest lead of the game at 56-41.
Kelly O'Dell added to the blowout as she stole the ball and took it up the court for an easy layup, giving the Eagles a 62-41 lead. Both teams would trade buckets for the rest of the half before Brianna Fedorich knocked down a jumper, to extend the lead to 73-54. The Eagles held on for the remaining 3:30 minutes, beating Bryn Aythn 76-62.
Kelly O'Dell finished with 7 points and 14 rebounds. Ashley Pledger added 20 points on the night. The Eagles return to action on Saturday when they travel to Morrisville, NY to take on Morrisville College at 1 P.M.

Eva Maria WalleAssistant Manager Weleda Biodynamic® Medicinal Plant Gardens
My passions are simple: working, creating and managing Weleda's Biodynamic® Medicinal Plant Garden in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany — the largest in Europe.
Born in Hamburg, Germany, I grew up with a love for agriculture, which I studied in the University. While a student, I already knew that organic and Biodynamic® cultivation of medicinal plants was my calling.
I had the immense luck to work with Weleda for my bachelor's thesis. I cultivated a wild medicinal plant called Imperatoria, transporting it from the Alps to the loamy soil of Southern Germany. I'm happy to report that the plant now grows in the garden. And my relationship with Weleda has thrived, too.
After receiving my master's degree, I began my job at Weleda's 50-acre medicinal garden, with its close to 200 different plant species. Today I am the manager, and I love my work.
As an advisor on Weleda's worldwide projects for medicinal, aromatic and herbal plant cultivation, I get the chance to travel to fascinating countries and explain our values — such as the way that organic and Biodynamic® agriculture shows respect for nature and cooperates with nature when protecting, fertilizing and harvesting plants.
At my job, each year—even each day—is so different. I also enjoy the physical work. There's nothing better than going into the field on a fresh spring morning and harvesting Primula veris (cowslip).
I grew up with Weleda products. I especially love the body oils. Their warming and softening qualities, along with their appealing scents, create a sense of rejuvenation and well being at the end of a long day — whether working in Weleda's garden or hiking and biking the beautiful hilly countryside of Schwäbisch Gmünd where I live.

I came down with Sinus infection/upper respiratory infection which of course caused my nose to become raw from having to blow my nose frequently. I was applying many different products but nothing helped. Then I tried the Skin Food and it worked tremendously well. This product had blessed me. Thank you.
My 5 year old has a severe case of eczema. While in Spain I visited a homeopathic/nature store and was recommended to use the Weleda Diaper Care. Since then he has not had itchy flare up. I decided to add the baby shampoo and body wash and its done wonders for my little one. Thanks so much. I have just purchased the entire regiman for 40+. I hope it does the same for me.Damaris
Since my first child was born 5 years ago I went through dozens of diaper creams both pharmaceutical and natural. But with my sons sensitive new skin not only did I have problems finding a diaper cream to help with his diaper rash, but I couldn't even find one that wouldn't make it worse! When my local health foods store started carrying the weleda baby care line I thought I had nothing to lose by trying it. And since trying your diaper cream I have to say that not only have none of my children ever had to suffer from diaper rash but none of the parents I know will ever go back to their old diaper creams. I use this for my sons eczema, my husband's calluses and any other skin irritations I encounter!My uncle was recently in a bad motorcycle accident and ended up having a large part of his body covered in rough scars "road rash". I bought him some of the diaper cream to put on his problem spots, as well as some of your calendula oil for after baths and showers. And he says that his skin feels like skin again and is no longer rough and scaley.Thank you so much WELEDA!

Advantage Custom Strings
If you study the TRG system from the riser, I'm now a little disappointed. First, that the hole is so far off center that the hole is exposed to full depth doesn't leave a "clean" looking riser. Second, I don't understand why the unit could not be adjustable throughout. Okay, you can move the SOS, but not the TRG. Third, for some 12 years and more the standard slide and guide rod has been used quite successfully and more so successfully provided a hardened offset guide rod was used.
To have a open mind, think outside the box, have ideas is great, but then there is acceptance by the public. Some ideas are really great, but need "eased" in or "hammer tested" before going full throttle.
To me it sounds like a business opportunity for someone who can make a TRG out of Delrin or Teflon.

Explain please.
From what I was told by my Martin Rep, they originally were going to serve the cables where they went through the TRG, but found that it didn't work well. As far as wear on the TRG, after 1000+ shots on my Firecat, I can't see any sign of wear, other than the small amount of plastic that ends up on my cables. It's easily wiped off with a piece of old blue jean material, then I just re-slicken the cables with conditioner. No visible sign of any wear at all on the TRG system.

Cyber Monday sales hit new record
Thirty percent jump eclipses Black Friday
Retailers raked in record sales on Cyber Monday, as shoppers flocked to their computers and smartphones to grab online deals.
Online sales soared 30 percent higher from Cyber Monday last year, according to IBM Digital Analytics Benchmark, which tracks more than one million e-commerce transactions per day from more than 500 retailers.
"Cyber Monday was not only the pinnacle of the Thanksgiving shopping weekend but when the cash register closed it officially became the biggest online shopping day ever," said Jay Henderson, strategy director at IBM Smarter Commerce.
The 30 percent increase eclipses both the 21 percent jump in online sales seen on Black Friday and the 17 percent increase on Thanksgiving day. It's also bigger than projections from data tracking firm ComScore, which put sales at $1.5 billion for Cyber Monday -- a 20 percent increase from the same day last year.
A growing number of people used their mobile devices to make purchases this year. About 18 percent of shoppers checked out deals on their mobile devices on Monday, and 13 percent made purchases by phone or tablet -- up from 12 percent and 7 percent, respectively, last year.
And while many retailers typically wait until the Monday following Black Friday to offer online-only deals, many began rolling out their online discounts on Thanksgiving or earlier this year.
Online shopping traffic peaked at 11:25 a.m. ET on Monday, and department stores, health and beauty retailers, home goods sellers and apparel stores experienced the most sales growth, IBM found.
The individual retailers that were most-frequently searched for by users on Cyber Monday included Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, Sears and Target. The products that were searched for the most were Amazon's Kindle and Kindle Fire, Uggs, iPads, the iPod Touch, Legos and the Wii, according to Experian Marketing Services.
This holiday season, online sales have widely outpaced in-store sales. Even on Black Friday, which is traditionally known for its in-store deals, online sales posted double-digit growth while retail sales at stores declined nearly 2 percent, according to ShopperTrak.

This is a very tasty chicken dish. I can't believe how low the calories are. It just tastes so rich. I would make this for company.
Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Creamy Chive Sauce
From EatingWell: December 2005/January 2006, The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook (2006)
Here's a sauce so delicious, it's missing only one thing: a little crunchy bread to dip in it. Make It a Meal: Serve with steamed asparagus or cauliflower, mashed potatoes or orzo pasta, and a glass of Vinho Verde.
107 Reviews for Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Creamy Chive Sauce
This chicken was pretty tasty. Gives you the comfort food feel without the comfort food calories. Definitely a keeper.
Next time I will add some additional pepper.
Was great. Omitted the wine and used a little extra broth. My kids had a second helping. Yummy!
I followed this recipe and did not get the creamy sauce that was promised. Mine is very liquidy. It's sitting on the stove right now while I decide what to do with it. I'm very disappointed as I can't remember the last time a recipe I followed went so badly. I will not be making this again.
This is one of my favorite dinners. It's a bit of a pain to make but so good. I buy chicken cutlets which are already sliced thin to skip the pounding step.

text: I am a novice re digital cameras, but wish to buy a new Compact for my wife. The latest copy of What Digital Camera has helpful advice and one or two look very promising, but none of them specifically mention whether they have a Document Mode. This is important as she needs to photo official documents; she is a very keen genealogist. She current has a old HP Photosmart that has this mode and produces very good shots of documents. The manual informs me that this mode uses a high contrast setting and a low saturation setting, with flash automatically off. I can see that most of the new cameras have the ability to turn off the flash (very important) but I cannot see if they have the ability of high contrast low saturation, as well as getting up close - I warned you I'm a real dummy, but thank you in advance; I am looking at the Cannon Powershot SX210 IS or Sony Cyber-Shot HX5.

BMC Racing Team's Taylor Phinney sprinted to eighth place Monday at Paris-Nice while teammate Tejay van Garderen held onto the Best Young Rider jersey. The two were part of a 21-rider breakaway group that finished nearly two-and-a-half minutes ahead of the peloton after strong crosswinds and rain cut the peloton into pieces.
Split At The Feed Zone
Phinney said the nasty conditions and hard work to keep the break in front sapped his strength for the sprint, which was won by Tom Boonen (Omega Pharma-Quick Step). "When I came into the finish, I tried to give it a go, but I was absolutely empty," Phinney said. "I spent five minutes in the bus shivering and trying to get back to normal." Van Garderen held onto his fourth place overall, 11 seconds behind new race leader Bradley Wiggins (Sky Pro Cycling), while Phinney climbed to seventh, 21 seconds back. Van Garderen said the decisive split happened at the feed zone, the halfway point of the 185.5-kilometer race. "We were going fast and it was kind of like, it's happening now and whoever is here is here," he said. "It seems like a lot of guys weren't there. I was surprised – shocked, really. It was a brilliant move to be there and I have Taylor to thank big time for that one. He pretty much dragged me to the front. He's such a solid wheel to follow."

How about the celebration of all of the historical events, major historical figures and countless soldiers who all died in order to give us a place to live without fear of a dictator or oppression? Or a place where we can vote for our leaders, live without persecution (whether it be based on religion, race and (hopefully soon) sexuality)? But yeah, fireworks and manga are cool too.

How to Make Marshmallow Peeps at Home
I'm not sure where the harebrained idea to make my own marshmallow Peeps came from, but I'm sure glad it did. Yes they are a lot of work, yes they involve gelatin (an ingredient I don't often use) and yes, they are loaded full of sugar and not much else. Oh, and YES, they are a tremendous amount of fun to make and eat! Happy Easter, my friends.
As someone who's never made marshmallows before, let alone any recipe requiring a candy thermometer, I was admittedly a bit worried about how these Peeps would turn out. Fear not, the task proved to be entirely possible, just a little messy!
While there is a perfectly good recipe for marshmallow Peeps in our archive, it requires use of a pastry bag and some deft ability with said bag; I thought a sheet of marshmallow and cookie cutters would be a more intuitive, user–friendly approach. This easier version that I arrived at was absolutely doable. Just make sure to set aside an afternoon, resting time, and one more session to decorate (my favorite part).
I confess I've never bought Peeps at a grocery store — their alarming color and artificiality always turned me off. Now however, I think it's safe to say that I'm enamored with my little creations. I made chicks, bunnies and small flowers, but I do believe next year will be a band of sparkle sugar–encrusted elephants, lions and unicorns; why not!?
Have you attempted peeps at home? Do you think you'll try?
How To Make Marshmallow Peeps
What You Need
7 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (I used 3 Knox gelatin envelopes)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Butter for greasing pans (and your fingers)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Sanding sugars
Food coloring
Smoked sesame seeds (for eyes of Peeps)
Stand mixer
Medium–sized pot
Candy thermometer (I used this one)
2 cake pans (or a pie pan or sheet pan would do fine)
Cookie cutters
1. Place the contents of the three gelatin envelopes in the bottom of the bowl for the stand mixer. Add 1/2 cup of cold water and set aside while preparing the next part of the recipe.
2. Prepare the candy mixture: In a medium-sized pot, heat the sugar, corn syrup, salt and vanilla over high heat. When mixture has come to a full rolling boil, stop stirring, but swirl the pan occasionally by the handles. Put the thermometer in the pot and bring the mixture to 240°F. This will take about 7 minutes.
3. Carefully pour the sugar/corn syrup mixture into the bowl of the stand mixer. Add another 1/2 cup of water and use the stand mixer's whisk attachment to beat on high speed for about 12 to 15 minutes total. (This image shows the mixture after 5 minutes of whisking.)
4. After 10 minutes of whisking: The marshmallow is coming together, but not quite there.
5. After just under 15 minutes of whisking: The marshmallow is ready to go, or add food coloring as I did.
6. Add food coloring: I divided my marshmallow into two parts, for two colors. It took about 12–15 drops of food coloring to achieve the pale pastel color I wanted.
7. Pat the marshmallow into prepared pans: Lightly grease two pans or one larger one and pour the marshmallow into the pans. Greasing your fingers can help because things get really sticky.
8. Clean up tray: I found it helpful to have one pan dedicated to putting my sticky utensils down on, because this really is a messy, sticky job.
9. Cover the marshmallow sheets for about 4 hours or overnight: Then when you're ready, just turn the marshmallow out onto a flat surface and gather the cookie cutters.
10. Cut out your Peeps: Combine a little cornstarch and powdered sugar and dredge the cookie cutters in between cuts to make things smoother and less sticky.
11. Apply the sanding sugar: Dip your finger into a little water and coat the entire marshmallow. Dredge the marshmallow carefully in colorful sanding sugar. Let air dry on a cooling rack.
12. For the eyes: Use a little dab of corn syrup and a few smoked sesame seeds to create eyes on your creatures. I found a tip of a toothpick worked perfectly to apply the corn syrup and sesame seeds.
13. Enjoy your Peeps: Wrap up with cellophane, tie with a ribbon and delight your friends.
Peeps will keep covered for about a week.

amazing. definitely will try!
key step that was not mentioned... leave peeps sit out for a day or so. stale peeps are SO much better than soft ones! (please tell me i'm not the only one who thinks so!??!)
These would also be awesome half-dipped in chocolate. Yum.
I LOVE this. Great to engage my kids in doing something AWESOME. I am going to do this with my daughter immediately! and my son tomorrow!
Marshmellow peeps, the classic 'make-or-buy?' scenario from economics class...seriously, just go buy the peeps.
This actually looks doable; I always thought PEEPs would be waaay more trouble than they're worth. But these I think I'll try! And yes, J&H--stale PEEPs all the way!!
@J&H, I am so with you...They are better stale...
Also, you listed salt twice in the ingredients list--which measurement is correct?
We love homemade peeps but I use honey only for a truly delicious peep which contains no HFCS or white sugar. Trust me they are delicious!
I hate Peeps. Sorry...just do. But yet...I like those orangey stale marshmallowy Circus Peanuts...go figure. LOL
For the n-th time: domestic corn syrup is NOT HFCS. High fructose corn syrup is an industrial foodstuff used only in large-scale manufacture (where the savings are significant to the producer)
Karo and other corn syrups are perfectly fine and present none of the other alleged HFCS problems.
p.s. I live in a country where corn syrup is not available, and our soft drinks are sweetened with sugar. I am not a campaigner for the HFCS people, but rather just a simple, well-informed consumer who happens to also be a chemist.
since gelatin free marshmallows r 4 sale (Wholefoods, for one), could these be made w/out...or else i'll stick to the nasty, delicious (& yes, better stale) standard Peeps, but heck yes to yr fantastical plans 4 next year.
These are awesome, but I am not sure I could stick to just doing them in vanilla. I want toasted coconut peeps, and lavender peeps, and especially some fiori di sicilia peeps... mmmm! Or, I have some leftover strawberry sugar which I may grind to be fine enough to finish with, and do vanilla ones with a pink strawberry finish. There are too many possibilities!
I like the idea of dipping them in chocolate, but would the warm chocolate melt the marshmallow?
Forget stale - put them in the freezer overnight!
For a vegetarian version:
* agar agar sub'd 1:1 for the gelatin
* make sure to switch to vegan sugar (regular granulated sugar is often purified through bone char)
And my favorite flavoring for homemade marshmallows is Fiori di Sicilia, a heavenly vanilla citrus extract, available through King Arthur Flour Catalog.
Didn't beat the marshmallow mixture long enough, following Martha's instructions for the piped peeps. Will try this recipe tomorrow, but meanwhile I will freeze the few I piped as they are too soft. One note: I did tint the mix yellow as you mentioned tinting with food coloring, but I was sorry when I remembered how much I like to bite into the colored sugar and see the white fluff underneath. Won't tint it when I try again! Thanks for an awesome idea, I just love any kind of Peeps!
I tried this last year. Bah. Nothing like the light and fluffy peeps with the lovely sugary crunch.
We've made the piped ones, Martha's recipe, and once you get the knack, they come out very cute, I think cuter than these cutout ones. We served all the failures anyway and called them "Easter Poops."
We used dark food coloring (mixed all the colors together) and a round-ended toothpick to dot on eyes, I think that's better than trying to keep track of sesame seeds.
Why not have fun making them?
Why are you saying sorry?

Our modern take on the classic prancing horse statue. Unglazed porcelain bisque perched atop a blackened bronze base. Simplified to its most elemental form. Think Tang Dynasty or 19th century England.
