Our October Book: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

"'You have saved my life: I have a please in owning you so immense a debt. I cannot say more. Nothing else that has being would have been tolerable to me in the character of creditor for such an obligation: but you: it is different;--I feel your benefits no burden, Jane...I knew,' he continued, 'you would do me good in some way, at some time;--I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you: their expression and smile did not...strike delight to my very inmost heart so for nothing...My cherished preserver, good night!'" Chapter 15

**THIS JUST IN** from Moana Piena:

PEANUT BUTTER HERSHEY KISSES

I first tasted these at a Relief Society movie night thing and later got the recipe from a friend. Sinfully delicious!

1 bag (13 oz.) Hershey’s kisses

1 c. Karo light corn syrup

½ c. sugar

2 c. peanut butter (18 oz. jar)

5 c. Rice Krispies

Unwrap Hershey’s kisses. Put Rice Krispies in a large mixing bowl. Simmer syrup and sugar until sugar dissolves. Add peanut butter and mix. Pour over cereal and mix. Flatten small portion of mix, place kiss in center and shape into balls.

*Congratulations to Val Diamond and her family! Krystal Diamond arrived on October 24, 2007!*
