How many Peeps do you think are sold for Easter? I figure that most people in the U.S. eat a Peep or multiple Peeps during the Easter season. I know some people can’t stand Peeps. Other people think they’re great. There are even Peep eating contests that seem to not make the contestants too sick. Peeps are known for being an Easter candy, but now Peeps are made and available year round. How many Peeps do you think are sold for Easter? 1. Make a guess that you think is too low: 2. Make a guess that you think is too high: 3. Guess the number of Peeps that you think are sold each year: 4. By considering a little more information, lets see how your guess compares to an educated estimate and the actual amount. What information would be helpful to determine the number of Peeps sold in a year? List your ideas and some of the ideas from your class below. 5. Now that you have some ideas about what information would be helpful, your teacher will provide you with a little more information that might help. List this information below. Use the information to estimate the number of Peeps sold in a year. Show all your work and reasoning below. 6. Lets take a random sample of the class to get an idea of our estimates. Your teacher will gather ten estimates. Record each of these estimates in the table below: Student Estimates for Peeps Sold in a Year Find the mean estimate: 7. At the end of this activity your teacher will give you an actual approximation of the number of Peeps sold for Easter. How did the mean of the estimates compare to the actual approximate number of Peeps sold for Easter? PEEPS® Brand Marshmallow Candies are produced by Just Born Candies.

Thermal Behavior Characterization of a Sugar-Based Model System and Commercial Confections Across the Stages of Sugar Cooking
THERMAL BEHAVIOR CHARACTERIZATION OF A SUGAR-BASED MODEL SYSTEM AND COMMERCIAL CONFECTIONS ACROSS THE STAGES OF SUGAR COOKING BY MELISSA WANG THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Food Science and Human Nutrition with a concentration in Food Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Shelly J. Schmidt Abstract The stages of sugar cooking, although long-existing and widespread in the confection industry, are lacking in thermal behavior profile descriptions, which are crucial to confection functionality. Thermal behavior parameters, such as the glass transition temperature (Tg), are indicative of confection material structure and textural behavior. Tg plays an important role in governing the quality and shelf life of sugar-based confection, and is influenced by moisture content, formulation, and other factors. This study aimed to connect thermal behavior parameters to the stages of sugar cooking. Thus, the objective of this research was to investigate the thermal behavior of the six stages of sugar cooking, as well as representative commercial confections from each stage. A model sugar-based confectionery system was developed and representative commercial confections belonging to each stage of sugar cooking were selected. The model system consisted of a 70:30 ratio of sucrose to corn syrup and a 70:30 ratio of solids to moisture. To investigate the thermal behavior of the stages of sugar cooking, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), moisture content, and water activity analyses were conducted for the model system and representative commercial confections. The average Tg midpoint of the model system increased from thread to hard crack stage, corresponding to loss of water from increased cooking time and temperature.

March 2021 Clarion
The Community Clarion March 2021 Volume 51, Issue 3 PASTOR’S PAGE The Following is from a anonymous Individual (xo): The season of Lent, a time of repentance, fasting, and preparation for the coming of the Easter season. It is a time of self-examination and reflection.” I did not grow up in a church that observed the Church calendar, maybe that is why I am so drawn to it. Or maybe it is the order and intentionality that I love. It is especially true during Lent. Having a season set aside to honestly contemplate exactly what in my life is stealing my freedom, has helped me more than I can tell you. It takes bravery to ask myself: what specific habits or sin-patterns are keeping me from being the person God intended…keeping me in slavery? The honest answer to that question brings me such sorrow. And “Godly sorrow brings repentance.” And repentance is truly what I want. Because I do not have all the time in the world. Ash Wednesday reminds me, I will die one day…from dust to dust. I do not have time to waste on things that steal my focus away from what matters most. Or worse, I do not have the luxury of time to allow habits to take over and make me more self-focused. I pray that your season of Lent will be meaningful and life changing my friends ~ xo Some of the habits, traditions, items, and various activities listed above can eas- ily cause us to forget who we are in Christ.
