Divinity is a good way to use up egg whites and you can give the results as a gift.
Extra egg whites are also great pet food if you have birds, dogs or cats.

OK, divinity. I can only make it when the humidity is low, haven't for years. At most I beat only 3 egg whites which makes it yummy soft. I finally have a nice candy thermometer.

The problem is my hands shake and arms are weak. You have to pour the syrup in a thin steady stream, stand mixer now will be a help so I can put two hands on the pot handle. I can only manage one small batch at a time. It has to be a heavy pan, mine don't always pour right either. If I could hold the hot syrup longer, I would gladly double it as divinity is one of my favorites.

My cat probably wouldn't eat them. No dogs. I feed the birds outside. You mean use it raw? Or cook it?

I can make meringe shells, too, but they don't keep very well and I like them crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Pavlovas.

All this talk about food and I haven't had any dessert for days. So I rummaged around and found some vanilla instant pudding. I perk it up with butter rum extract and nutmeg on top. Luckily my milk hadn't gone sour; I'm losing a lot of milk lately. I use over a half gallon when I make rice pudding in a huge round glass casserole.

Thank you for the suggestions. I wish I had frozen the whites in ice trays but I used a cool whip container.
