There really shouldn't be any way out of the political mess in which Arlen Specter finds himself.
For decades, he's irked his party's conservative base with one high-profile apostasy after another. But he's also made sure to throw just enough bones their way to prevent an intraparty uprising from toppling him—as when he beat back, by a scant two points, a withering Republican primary challenge from Pat Toomey in 2004.
Now, though, his luck seems to have run out. The Republican base, nationally and in Specter's Pennsylvania, is shrinking and lurching ever rightward. Somehow, the right has convinced itself that the real lesson of the Democratic landslides of 2006 and 2008 is that the G.O.P. just wasn't conservative enough. Where there used to be at least some space for breaches of conservative orthodoxy, there is now none in the Republican Party.
In that sense, Specter sealed his own fate last month, when he essentially brokered the compromise that allowed President Obama's $787 billion stimulus package—pilloried by the right as a step toward socialism—to pass over a Republican filibuster in the Senate. At a public event shortly thereafter, a grateful Vice President Joe Biden showered praise on his old Senate colleague: "It might not help you, my saying this, but this legislation would not have happened without you."
That's an understatement. In the wake of the stimulus saga, Toomey, Specter's '04 G.O.P. challenger, has revisited his initial decision not to seek a rematch next year; now, he almost certainly will. Biden's praise will surely be recycled into a Toomey ad or two.
The forces that saved Specter in '04—a helpful Republican White House, a higher concentration of moderates within the G.O.P., and more tolerance for diverse views among conservatives (a luxury they feel they can no longer afford in the minority)—are now inoperative. The anger over his stimulus move is intense, and won't abate as long as the economy is struggling. Specter's poll standing among Pennsylvania Republicans is at an all-time low. It's easy to see Toomey's two-point defeat turning into a 20-point massacre next spring.
And that should be it for Specter, at least in theory: He can either go down swinging in a hopeless G.O.P. primary or acknowledge reality, announce that five terms is enough, and head off to retirement at age 80. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania's Democrats, who have lost Senate race after Senate race to Specter because his independent streak sits so well with swing voters, can lick their lips in anticipation of a general-election campaign against the far more beatable Toomey.
And yet, for some reason, Democrats are offering Specter a life preserver, in the form of inducements to switch parties and run as their candidate for another six-year term.
"We've tried—myself, Senator Casey, Vice President Biden," Pennsylvania's Democratic governor, Ed Rendell, said this week. "We've tried to talk him into it, but he's bound and determined to stay a Republican. He doesn't want to see Republican moderates vanish from the earth."
At a personal level, it's understandable why Rendell and Biden, who have long enjoyed cooperative and collegial relationships with Specter, would encourage him to join their team. (Presumably, Casey, who won his seat two years ago, enjoys a similar relationship.) But from a political standpoint, it's probably not in the Democratic Party's interest to convert Specter.
Granted, in the short term, a Specter switch—coupled with the seemingly inevitable seating of Minnesota's Al Franken—would give the Democrats the magic 60 Senate votes they've been craving. But 60 is just a number. There's really no reason to believe that Specter, even if he suddenly changed his registration, would morph into a party-line Democrat. Most likely, he'd be just as fickle and iconoclastic as he now is—hardly a reliable vote for every Democratic effort to end a filibuster.
Besides, why should Democrats settle for Specter, who would probably vote with the G.O.P. just as much as he votes with them, when they could very likely elect a far more reliable Democratic senator in '10?
Look at it this way: If Specter remains a Republican and battles it out with Toomey in a primary next year—his most likely course of action, at least for now—then Toomey will probably win and emerge as the G.O.P. nominee. Given his staunch conservatism, he'd make an ideal opponent for the Democratic nominee, who could paint Toomey as another Rick Santorum, who was drummed out of the Senate by Pennsylvanians in 2006.
But if Specter were to switch parties, the Republican nomination would be flung wide open. A more electable general-election candidate, one capable of navigating the conservative/moderate divide that Specter no longer can, might then emerge. Meanwhile, Democrats would face the prospect of an untidy primary, with Rendell and other party leaders (and interest groups, too: the A.F.L.-C.I.O. has promised to support Specter in a primary if he supports their "card check" legislation in the Senate) using their muscle on Specter's behalf while party activists push for their own candidate. Even if Specter were to win the Democratic nod without a fight, his general-election chances could be iffy—assuming Republicans picked a nominee other than Toomey.
The most politically advantageous posture for Democrats, it would seem, is to keep praising Specter but to stop begging him to join them. As long as tries to run for reelection as a Republican, the odds are good that the G.O.P. will nominate the supremely beatable Toomey. And if that's the case, Democrats might as well field a candidate who will side with them reliably in the Senate.

Gripping Video Showing Louisiana's Stress
"We have been abandoned by our own country," said Broussard during the interview.
Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard
Here's an excerpt from the end of the interview when Broussard was emotionlly describing an emergency-management worker, who lost his elderly mother in the days after the hurricane:
Broussard: "... The guy who runs this building I’m in, Emergency Management, he’s responsible for everything. His mother was trapped in St. Bernard nursing home and every day she called him and said, “Are you coming, son? Is somebody coming?” and he said, “Yeah, Mama, somebody’s coming to get you.” Somebody’s coming to get you on Tuesday. Somebody’s coming to get you on Wednesday. Somebody’s coming to get you on Thursday. Somebody’s coming to get you on Friday… and she drowned Friday night. She drowned Friday night! [Sobbing] Nobody’s coming to get us. Nobody’s coming to get us..."As always, Crooks and Liars has this compelling video – you really need to see this to fully appreciate the gravity of what our fellow Americans are going through in Louisiana and how royally they have been let down by the Bush administration.
Russert: Mr. President...
Broussard: Nobody's coming to get us. Nobody's coming to get us. The secretary has promised. Everybody's promised. They've had press conferences. I'm sick of the press conferences. For God sakes, shut up and send us somebody!

The study reviewed a total of 420 frozen single embryo transfer cycles resulting in a live singleton birth and found no association between embryo morphokinetics and adverse perinatal outcome. Lucky Sekhon, MD, the first author of the study and a fellow in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital, commented: “We were able to demonstrate that embryos deemed “poor quality” by morphologic grading were not associated with a decrease in gestational age or birthweight at delivery. It is possible that by adopting a strategy of biopsy, freezing, and thawing embryos, we are able to synchronize the embryo and the endometrium, optimizing the implantation of developing blastocysts.” Cycles were stratified based on the Gardner-Schoolcraft grading system for blastocyst expansion, inner cell mass and trophectoderm. Patient age, BMI, endometrial thickness at transfer, gestational age at delivery and neonatal birthweight were recorded, and student’s t-test, chi-square and linear regression were used for analysis. interview skills in teluguPatients were stratified into birthweight categories (low birthweight and macrosomia) and a binary logistic regression was used to identify whether morphokinetic factors were predictive of either outcome.

The lawsuit stems from the longstanding agreements between the companies regarding the Fallout IP. Namely Bethesda was allowed to take the rights to the IP except for the case of a Fallout MMO, which would be under the control of Interplay. Interplay would keep these rights as long as they secured funding for the game and began production by April.
Bethesda is asserting that Interplay has breached their agreement, citing that development on the title (which has been hidden under the thinly disguised title "Project V13," standing for "Vault 13," a shelter in the Fallout universe) has not yet begun. Interplay asserts that it still holds the rights to develop Project V13 with the assistance of Masthead Studios, the group behind the upcoming post-apocalyptic sci-fi MMO Earthrise.

Hilaria Baldwin, the American celebrity yoga instructor, finally gave her response to all the trolls that were made against her. The social media users had expressed their doubts with regard to the relationship between their biological children. She, along with her husband, was posed as non-biological parents of their six children owing to the difference in their skin tone.
Hilaria Baldwin, The Biological Mother
The yoga instructor and wife of Alec Baldwin, the popular American actor, placed her reply to the doubts of people who stated that the skin color of her children was “lighter” than that of their parents. This incident took place over the social media platform, Instagram on the 21st of July, Wednesday.
Hilaria Baldwin took to the stories section of Instagram and confirmed that the children were hers. The picture that she shared revealed the 37-year-old mother of 6 holding Maria Luca, her newborn baby. The mother also went on to acknowledge the fact that there was a difference in the skin tone of her and her baby. Hilaria Baldwin also accused the trollers of having so much free time to waste.
The wife of the “Beetlejuice” artist also shared a couple of other family photos as her response. One of those revealed her with her son Eduardo whom she gave birth to last year in the month of September. It showed Hilaria Baldwin and Eduardo on one of the boats as she held her son.

Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico on September 20, 2017. Its strong winds and rainfall intensity were responsible for significant damages to the infrastructure and to all types of construction in Puerto Rico. The hurricane and its effects have been intensively studied over the past three years. These studies include estimates of the gust speeds that the hurricane produced. These estimates appear to be lower than those expected for a hurricane of Maria’s category. The present study sets out to contribute to these estimates by analyzing the failures of elements of the transportation infrastructure, obtaining as a result that the gust speeds required to produce the analyzed failures were significantly higher than those of previous studies. This findings suggests that a review of the estimated gust speeds for Hurricane María is pertinent, which would make it possible to better interpret its effects. In turn, this could have an impact on the definition of relevant design speeds for Puerto Rico to design resilient systems under a future update of the building codes of the island.

Ready to mix things up for breakfast or maybe dessert on Christmas Day? How about this beauty? Delicious and not that hard to make! I made it for our annual Christmas Bunco pot luck.
3/4 cup Nutella
2 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons raspberry jam
4 (8 oz each) cans refrigerated crescent dough sheets
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 Heat oven to 350. Line large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Mix 1/2 cup Nutella, cream cheese and whipping cream in small bowl until smooth. In another small bowl, mix 1/4 cup Nutella and raspberry jam until smooth.
2 Sprinkle flour on parchment lined cookie sheet and unroll one can of dough. Press or roll dough into 12″ x 11″ rectangle. Place 10″ round dinner plate or cardboard circle on top of rectangle. Using pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut away excess dough (which could be saved for another use if desired).
3 Carefully spread half of Nutella cream cheese mixture on top of dough circle. Sprinkle work surface generously with flour and unroll next can of dough. Repeat steps above to end with another circle. Carefully place second circle on top of Nutella cream cheese layer.
4 Carefully spread Nutella jam mixture on top of second circle. Repeat steps above for a third circle. Carefully place on top of Nutella jam layer.
5 Spread remaining Nutella cream cheese mixture on top of third circle. Repeat steps above for fourth and final circle. Place carefully on top of Nutella cream cheese layer.
6 Place a glass or small jar with a 2 1/2″ – 3″ opening in center of dough circle stack. Leaving center intact, use sharp knife to cut layered dough into quarters. Divide each quarter into 4 equal parts, creating 16 total sections. Remove glass from center of dough.
7 To twist, take 2 sections of dough side by side and slightly pull and twist each section 3 turns in the opposite direction of each other. Repeat for all 16 sections of dough. Bake 27 – 30 minutes or until deep golden brown and baked through. Cool 5 minutes then sprinkle with powdered sugar. (I forgot to do this!)

Gearing up for that much awaited road trip? Make sure that you are not forgetting the most important thing – your car’s safety! You have to ensure that your car is properly serviced before you embark on a road trip.
The job of informing us that our car’s tires are under-inflated by 25% is done by a capable TPMS installed in them. TPMS, or Tire Pressure Monitoring System, is a system which alerts the driver about the dangers of having under-inflated tires. It’s a must in all cars today as per the TREAD (Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation) Act of 2000, which is a federal mandate.
2) Proper tire safety for a smooth, safe ride
Tire pressure is important because it affects the car’s performance, the brakes, lifespan of the tires, and ultimately, the safety of the experience. Translated, the TPMS in vehicles aims at driving safely, ease in vehicle handling, fuel efficiency, and life of the tires.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System’s battery lies in the sensor and has a lifespan of 5-10 years and therefore has to be replaced accordingly. You will get the most accurate tire pressure reading when the tires are cold.
Your car’s TPMS will do the following when the tires are not within the manufacturer’s standards and safety measures:
- An alert light comes on to indicate an under-inflated tire. This can be simply taken care of by filling air and re-checking your tire pressure sensor before resuming travel
- When the alert light blinks on and off it means that the TPMS has malfunctioned and needs immediate action. Any car mechanic could help you with this. If ignored, it could result in a flat tire or even worse, a blowout which could cause a serious accident.
That said, you should only hand over your car to a certified professional with the necessary equipment and know-how to service the TPMS of your vehicle.
3) Tire safety tips
Poor weather conditions can just turn any situation into an ugly one, especially when one is travelling for long hours by road. You can help yourself by guaranteeing the safety of your car’s tires.
Some tips to do this effectively:
- Tire pressure check – do this before your journey starts and, for an accurate reading, preferably when the tires are cold.
- Pay attention to the alert sign of the TPMS installation – whether the light comes on and stays on or then is blinking off and on, it must not be ignored and the tires must be looked at by a professional immediately.
- Checking your car’s tires at a safe destination – If your TPMS alert is on, pull out from the ongoing traffic and get to the nearest gas or service station to address the problem.
- Keep your spare handy and well checked – Before you leave for that road trip make sure you check the air pressure for leaks or tears in your spare tire.

The opening ceremonies of the 36th annual Winterlude festival begin tonight at 7 p.m. but the fun started early on Friday in Ottawa and Gatineau.
Ice carvers were hard at work prepping sculptures in Confederation Park while children and adults alike were getting a first go at the giant snow slides in Jacques-Cartier Park.
This is the first time in 36 years that the Department of Canadian Heritage is running Winterlude, but organizers said festival-goers will see little change from how the National Capital Commission operated it.
Denise Leblanc is one of about 90 Canadian Heritage employees that transferred from the National Capital Commission.
"We've got lots of expertise — 36 years of expertise behind us in putting on the celebration," she said. "It really is seamless. I don't think people will notice any major difference."
In addition to the usual snow slides, ice sculptures and skating, there will also be some army-inspired elements. Veterans Affairs Canada will unveil an ice sculpture and the Canadian Armed Forces has created a winter obstacle course.

Those gummy streaks in pound cakes, also called 'sad streaks' and 'sorry streaks', seem to have different causes—and therefore different solutions—depending who you ask. Here are a few tips for preventing sad streaks: • Start with butter and eggs at room temperatur The ingredients weren't at room temperature. This cake layer was made with too much flour and was overmixed. The crumb isn't tender or soft, and the texture is dense with an oddly gummy center. It causes the cake layer to almost look underbaked once it's leveled, even though it's cooked through Developing the flour's gluten too much means the cake will rise beautifully in the oven - then sink (a little, or a lot) as soon as you pull it out. And the sinking cake is what makes dense, moist, gluey streaks. Lesson learned: beat butter and sugar and eggs at medium speed. Once you add flour, mix gently It has to be that the heat is baking the outside before it reaches the interior. Try a bit lower temp and more time. If you can arrange it in doughnut shape like a bunt cake, that may help
There are many reasons why your cake may have come out dense. From using too much flour to baking for too long, there are several points in the cake baking process that can lead to a dense texture. However, there are some easy ways to identify your problems and learn how to fix them. #1 Too Much Flou Greasy cakes are normally just the product of too much butter or fat being used to coat the cake tin. When the mixture is in the lined tin in the oven, the fat fries the sponge so cakes can often come out crispy around the edges or a little greasy on top. If your cake is just a little greasy on the outside, it's totally safe to eat Pro Tip Most cakes bake best in the 350 F range (give or take 25 degrees in either direction). If your recipe calls for something much higher or lower, it should explain why. Under-Baking. If your cake looks puffy and golden on top but sinks and turns gummy in the middle, you probably didn't bake it long enough 2. Add Sour Cream. To help prevent a dry, dense cake, let's add a creamy and light wet ingredient. Milk is usually required in a cake recipe to thin out the batter and lighten up the crumb, but sour cream is often overlooked. In addition to milk, add a Tablespoon or 2 of sour cream The over-mixed cupcake was dense as pound cake and gummy; it stuck to the side of my mouth as I ate it. The correctly-mixed cupcake was light and airy and, well, the ultimate vanilla cupcake. Also interesting was that by the time we took the photo (the next morning), the over-mixed cupcake had sunk and lost its dome while the properly mixed.
When you substitute an all purpose gf flour in a recipe, it's going to be gummy unless you address the issue of 1) leavening and 2) loss of protein binder. I like to do this with a chemical leavener (baking soda) and then add eggs. But, you also need to add xanthan and guar gum for moisture and binding. Always use room temperature ingredients A tacky top is typically caused by covering or wrapping the cake before it's completely cooled. This traps moisture inside, causing that sticky texture. Avoiding this pitfall is easy, just let the cake sit on a wire rack until totally cool. Even with these cake tips, you may still end up with a few flops Check out my latest post about the best bakeware materials and oven-safe temperatures. Your Banana Bread Is Chewy And Gummy. The bottom of the bread just doesn't have that light, fluffy texture; rather, it is thick, chewy, and sticky. This is where the science of baking is going to need some investigating
Also, if you find your cake is too dry even with the right baking time and temp, you may be adding too many dry ingredients (think flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda). To fix this, you may need to experiment a little with adding fewer dry ingredients or upping the amount of butter in your batter. 3 / My cupcakes are gummy in the middle. I'm using honey instead of sugar and apple juice instead of water plus two eggsI'm using warm spices and baking powder & baking soda. For 3.5 cups of flour is 1 tsp of baking powder and 1/2 tsp of baking soda correct Set the cake on top of the stove or counter and let it cool or move it onto a cooling rack, depending on the recipe's instructions. It should be at room temperature before you wrap it or frost it. Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top of the cake to help absorb some of the moisture if the cake is a little sticky 1.

Email led police to victim in Zebulon trafficking case
Posted June 10, 2014
Updated June 11, 2014
Zebulon, N.C. — Zebulon's police chief said Tuesday that an email from a woman asking her estranged husband in Germany for money helped investigators rescue her from a local warehouse where she was allegedly being held captive for sexual servitude.
Chief Timothy Hayworth told reporters at a news conference that the 34-year-old Russian-born German citizen had been stripped of her money, credit cards and phone since June 4 and that her alleged captor, Robert Edward Whiteside, 45, kept her at arm's length at all times to keep her from escaping.
The woman, however, was able to send an email to her estranged husband and hinted that she couldn't leave.
"The person realized she was being held against her will and contacted us," Hayworth said.
About an hour after receiving the tip Monday morning, Zebulon police detectives met Whiteside at the warehouse, at 511 Mack-Todd Road, where he had been living in a cluttered outbuilding.
The woman, who was with him when Whiteside arrived, then told police that she was strangled and sexually assaulted and was being held against her will.
"Obviously, he didn't believe she was going to say what she did," Hayworth said.
Whiteside was arrested and jailed initially under a $250,000 secured bond on one count of sexual servitude of an adult victim and two counts of assault by strangulation – charges that carry a maximum of 11 years in prison.
During Whiteside's first court appearance Tuesday afternoon, Wake County Assistant District Attorney Boz Zellinger said more charges were possible.
Whiteside asked for his bond to be reduced so that he could work to pay his bills and find an attorney.
"I'm not a troublemaker-type person," he said during the brief appearance. "This has really become a misunderstanding. I don't have a record of this type of thing."
He interrupted Zellinger who asked that the bond remain the same.
"I've never been in a situation like this before," Whiteside said.
District Judge Vince Rozier lowered the bond to $90,000 and ordered Whiteside be electronically monitored if he posts bond.
The woman, meanwhile, is being held at a safe house and appears to be in good health, Hayworth said.
Investigators spent several hours Monday searching the warehouse, where Whiteside operated a refurbishing business. They found several firearms, ammunition, pornography, computers, digital storage devices, travel documents and what Hayworth described as a secret bedroom behind a closet wall.
The room, he said, did not appear to be designed to keep someone locked inside but could be secured from within to keep someone from getting inside.
Hayworth also said that Whiteside and the woman apparently met on a dating website where he had been advertising for a girlfriend or wife who was from Germany or Russia.
Authorities' initial investigation revealed that he has dated women from other countries and has also traveled to Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Colombia and Peru. But Hayworth said there's currently no evidence to suggest he's committed similar crimes.
A statement he allegedly made to the woman that he had killed women in the past, Hayworth said, likely was a scare tactic. Still, he said, investigators are exploring all possible angles to be sure.
Anyone with information that could help investigators can call Zebulon Crime Stoppers at 919-366-3698 or the Zebulon Police Department at 919-823-1818.

BENGALURU: Rahul Nanda (name changed on request) landed a job at online budget hotel aggregator Stayzilla at a hackathon last Sunday — on the spot.
Unlike normal hackathons where participants code some new program, this was a 36-hour ‘designathon’, or a design hackathon, where Nanda, an employee at digital consulting firm Appiness, and hundreds of other user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) designers came together to design a mobile application for Stayzilla.
“We decided to recruit designers through a hack, just as we had done for developers, and it was a success,” said Pavan Madhini, senior product manager at Stayzilla. “We hired three people.”
Hackathons, or hackfests, are moving beyond generic mainstream technologies such as Android and iOS, to specialised avenues such as design, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), hardware, and even marketing, and their goal is not always about innovation or creating a new technology; it could be finding right talent for specific roles.
“Just as how coding skills are showcased, why not adopt the same method to showcase other skills?” said Subhendu Panigrahi, cofounder at Venturesity, a startup that has conducted several ‘hiring’ hackathons for companies including Microsoft, Stayzilla and taxi aggregator Ola by hosting challenges specific to a job description provided by the company. Alfred Alexander, marketing lead at recruitment platform HackerRank, said specialised hackathons have become the norm over the last year.
“About this time last year, hackathons were primarily generic. The penetration of hackathons have increased and going forward hackathons will become very specific,” he said.
At recent IoT hackathons across India, a number of gadgets including emergency drones, smart insulin pens, neonatal respiratory monitoring devices and epileptic seizure detection tools have been developed. Microsoft Ventures is gearing up for a marketing hackathon along with Venturesity, while Bengaluru-based recruitment platform HackerEarth will host a hackathon on artificial intelligence, where participants will have to build a player or a bot for a game that will outsmart others’ bots.
From being a topper, a CIO at Grant Thornton to founding Samvedana Senior Care, a social enterprise for elderly people, Suresh Kumar has had a very fascinating career. He says “nothing can replace hard work. It was relevant when I started my career and will remain relevant in the future.”
Dinanath Kholkar, VP and Global Head of Analytics & Insights, TCS, is a visionary and an avid listener. He’s worked with TCS for 31 years and in doing so he has earned the admiration of people through his qualities of instigating passion in uplifting and helping society.

Large, fluffy marshmallows are dipped into a silky, smooth, and thick caramel, and then rolled into crushed cereal; these Marshmallow Caramel Balls are chilled until ready to eat! Super freezer friendly, but can be easily stored in your refrigerator for well over a week!
I have to confess that this Marshmallow Caramel Balls recipe is not mine. In fact, I have copied it directly from a friend of mine. I’ve shared her recipes a few times over the years. She is a wonderful baker and many of the recipes that she makes are the same recipes my mom used to make. I might not have my mom’s hand-written recipe notes, but I can always rely on my friend, Alvena, to get a reliable recipe that tastes just like my mom’s! Thank you, Alvena!
Make your own online recipe box!
Click the in the lower right corner of your screen
& follow the quick and easy instructions!
This was a recipe that she had shared to her personal Facebook page just before last Christmas. I have been hanging on to it for over a year. Ha! I knew it would make a great addition to my 12 No Bake Christmas Treats series. It is one of those recipes that requires just a few ingredients. And, you get to play with melted caramel and marshmallows! What could be more fun than that!?
MARSHMALLOWS ARE OFTEN USED IN NO-BAKE TREATS
I used to not make many confections with marshmallows until recently. I do love them, but after just one or two, I seem to go into sugar shock. Ha! When it comes to snacks and treats, I’m all about salty snacks. I can easily forego sugary snacks. I’m one of those people who will eat one or two of something and then I don’t want to see it anymore. I bake a lot, so it’s quite common to try one or two of whatever it is, and package the rest up for a friend or a neighbour. In some cases, especially if I make something with chocolate, John.e refuses to let me get rid of it. He loves chocolate!
As you know, Dear Reader, John.e is a vegetarian and marshmallows have gelatin in them. Gelatin is made with collagen from animal parts, so obviously, he isn’t going to eat anything with marshmallows in it. Sounds gross, doesn’t it!? So, I was quite happy to find vegan marshmallows, and now I can make more marshmallow treats. You can 100% use Dandies Vegan Marshmallows in this recipe. In this case, I used real marshmallows, because he didn’t want to be tempted to eat any!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR THIS RECIPE:
- Kraft Caramels – These individually wrapped soft caramels are the only caramels I ever use! They’re a pain to unwrap, especially when you need to unwrap 90 of them, but it’s worth the effort in the end!
- Butter – I used salted butter, because I knew the salt would help to balance the sweetness.
- Canned Sweetened Condensed Milk – I have not tested this recipe with low-fat condensed milk. Depending on where you live, the size of the can may differ. Be sure to have the full 14 ounces!
- Marshmallows – I used regular large marshmallows. Again, you can use the vegan marshmallows if you wish.
- Cereal – I used crushed Special K cereal here, but you can also use Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, etc. Just be sure to slightly crush the cereal to get maximum caramel coverage.
SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK
I have a lot of recipes here at Lord Byron’s Kitchen with sweetened condensed milk as one of the ingredients. (Click here to see them!) Growing up in Newfoundland, it was always something I’ve been aware of. But, that’s not the case for everyone. I get many questions from readers about it. For someone not familiar with the gooey, sticky canned milk, it might be easily confused with canned Carnation condensed milk, for instance. Let me explain what it is here.

So, first of all, it’s condensed. The milk is condensed by removing water. This can be accomplished by applying heat. The water will evaporate causing the milk to condense, which thickens the milk. Sugar is added to sweeten it. The main purpose of adding sugar is to prolong the shelf life of condensed milk, which can sit on room temperature shelves for years. Sugar will prevent microorganisms from growing in the milk and help to thicken it even further—it’s added after the milk is boiled, reduced, and pasteurized.
If you find an unsweetened condensed milk, it’s most likely that it’s simply evaporated milk or condensed milk, which is thick, but not gooey and sticky. Evaporated milk is often used as a cream added to tea or coffee. If you are unfamiliar with it, please read the can carefully. Also, shake it – can you feel the liquid splashing about inside the can? If so, it’s not sweetened condensed milk; it’s evaporated or condensed milk only!
I mentioned in the ingredient list above that you will need 90 individual Kraft caramels to make this recipe. Most commonly, unless you are shopping at a baking supply or bulk store, Kraft caramels are sold in bags. To take out the guesswork for you, 90 individual caramels translates to about 740 grams. In my neck of the woods, caramels are usually found in packs weighing 246 grams, so I needed 3 packages.
I’m including this tidbit of information, because you might not have access to Kraft caramels. Even if you do, you have the option of using other brands. I used Kraft because it’s a brand I trust when baking. You can use Mackintosh’s caramels, which I think is a Scottish-made candy. You can also use Werther’s. Just make sure they are the originals. Brach’s is also a great brand.
In the United States, you can find Kraft Caramel Bits. I love those things! A few years ago, I used them on a chocolate bark recipe and they were amazing! I cannot wait to get to to US to do some shopping again! This time, I’m going to stock my pantry really well!
HOW TO MAKE MARSHMALLOW CARAMEL BALLS
Everyone has their own way of making things, and I’m no different. For example, my friend, Alvena, prepared her version of these balls using a double boiler to melt the caramels and condensed milk mixture. I prefer to use my microwave. Because this recipe makes about 48 treats, the caramel mixture can cool down and get very thick. Pop it back into the microwave for 30 seconds to get it back to its melty, gooey consistency.
Place the unwrapped caramels, butter, and sweetened condensed milk into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high speed for 30 seconds. Remove and stir with a rubber spatula. Continue to microwave the mixture in 30-second increments until all of the ingredients are melted together and well combined.
Working with one marshmallow at a time, drop it into the warm caramel. Use a fork to push the marshmallow down into the caramel until fully submerged. Use the fork to lift the marshmallow out. Tap the fork gently on the side of the bowl to encourage the excess caramel to drip off. Transfer the marshmallow to the bowl of crushed cereal and turn to fully coat. Place coated marshmallow on a parchment-lined platter. Once all marshmallows are coated, transfer platter to fridge and chill for 2 hours before serving. Keep refrigerated at all times.

STORING, PACKAGING, & FREEZING
When it comes to most no bake confections, they taste best at room temperature, but they don’t hold up well to being left out on your countertop for long periods of time. Some of them will stay fresh in a cookie jar or food-safe container with a lid for 3-5 days if left to sit on your kitchen countertop. But, others most certainly will not! If in doubt, store them in a food-safe container in your fridge. When you want one, two, or half a dozen, take them out of the container and place them in a single layer on a plate. Let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes and they’re ready!
Most no-bake confections are made without the need to freeze them for long periods of time, but they can be frozen. Marshmallow Caramel Balls can be frozen! Once they are completely chilled, pile them into a clean, food-safe container. The container must be freezer friendly! You’ll want to ensure a very tight fitting lid too. I use these quite often when freezing baked goods. I like to place a sheet of plastic wrap over the top of the container before pushing the lid on. This helps to create a better seal. The goal is to keep all of that freshness locked in!
You can freeze these for up to three months. If you plan to give previously frozen confections as a gift, lay them out onto a wire cooling rack in a single layer to thaw out. Condensation might form and that’s normal. Giving them space to breath by not overlapping them will help to eliminate that. Once thawed, pile into cellophane bags and tie with a ribbon, or stack in a cookie tin/box.

Brian Cunningham says that most places in the 40th City Council district stir up memories for him. From the block on Linden Boulevard that his mother chose when arriving to Brooklyn from Jamaica in 1975, to the building around the corner where he first kissed his future wife, Stephanie, he says the neighborhood is full of nostalgia.
And it is this feel for the streets where he went from childhood to manhood, along with a deep commitment for public service, that led him to run for the city council seat in the Sept. 12 Democratic primary covering Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Flatbush, East Flatbush and Ditmas Park.
“Everywhere I go in this district, I see someone I know, someplace I remember,” said Cunningham, sipping a beer at the Farm on Adderly, 1108 Cortelyou Road. “I see my fingerprints everywhere.”
But Cunningham also sees something else in the streets of his district: displacement. He says that Brooklyn is at a tipping point, and that unless changes are made, the borough his future children inhabit will be a different one than the Brooklyn he grew up in.
“We are at that moment in this district, in this borough, in this city,” said Cunningham. “If we don’t begin to elect people who understand the communities, understand how the process works inside, and have a vision of what they seek for the community, we’re heading in the wrong direction.”
Cunningham argues that all issues the district faces are connected. He says rising rents mean residents have less money to spend on healthy food options, leading to health problems in the community. Less disposable income in the district means local businesses suffer and cannot hire young people, who are then more likely to experience negative interactions with law enforcement.
“The issues are actually married, they’re not divorced, and when you begin to connect the tissues to the bones to the skin, you realize we have a holistic problem in the community,” said Cunningham. “And it needs addressing immediately.”
Cunningham says that at the crux of the issues is affordability in the neighborhood. He says that rents, residential and commercial, have gone up 80 percent in the past ten years in the district.
He advocates a “50-50” model for development, meaning 50 percent affordable housing and 50 percent market-rate housing. He says 20 percent of units should go to low-income residents below the poverty line. Another 30 percent would go to people earning the Community Median Income (CMI). Cunningham says the CMI should be used, rather than the current Average Median Income (AMI), which he says is less useful as it includes more affluent counties and all five boroughs.
The remaining 50 percent of housing units could be rented or sold at market rates, which Cunningham says would pay for the development and provide a needed mixture of incomes.
“The other thing that’s beautiful about this vision is it creates a model of holistic living, where we’re not concentrating poverty,” said Cunningham. “I think that by having that kind of building makeup, it helps energize the thoroughfares and it helps provide the kind of affordability that we need.”
If elected, Cunningham plans to push forward a series of bold policy plans, such as a “medicare for all” package in New York City, based on San Francisco’s model.
“In the city of New York, our budget must reflect our values,” said Cunningham. “And if healthy New Yorkers are a value for us, we have to put our money where our mouth is.”
He argues that the city must also do more to protect its senior citizens, providing free metro cards, affordable senior housing close to hospitals, and even freezing property taxes for seniors in the city.
He also hopes to ensure the introduction of Beacon programs to all local schools. He says this could give kids somewhere beneficial to go while their parents are still working or commuting home.
“Think about all the positive things that can happen between the hours of 3 and 9 p.m.,” said Cunningham. “Young people can get homework done, they can learn music, art, they can have extracurricular activities like basketball, they can learn coding.”
Cunningham says that personal experience as a resident of the district, professional experience on the city, state, and federal level, and tangible policy solutions make him the best candidate for city council.
He admits that challenging an incumbent with 10 years of name recognition is hard work, and that making the decision to campaign full-time was a difficult one for him and his wife, who he greatly thanked for the for the sacrifices she has made so he could run for public office.
“I literally spent my entire adult life thinking about this and working towards this, because it matters,” said Cunningham. “I don’t eat much, I don’t sleep much, and I worry a lot. Because it’s such a tight race that I don’t want the wrong person to be elected. And the wrong person is anyone but me.”
