Uh.
I didn’t do quite so much today.
I.. uh.. went to the bank.. and to Truffle (I procured a bag of nice cocoa. Mmm. Nice.)..
Oh! and we had our first barbecue of the season. More on that later.
Whee!
I went to the zoo today.
Hoorah!

You know what tonight is?
The start of my vacation!
See you in a week, work.
Fudging About
Who’s the best cow-orker ever? I’m the best cow-orker ever. Behold, part of the fudging process.
Take 2 cups of sugar and three tablespoons of dutch-processed cocoa and combine them. Add a 1/2 cup of milk and a couple of knobs of butter; then heat gently until everything has melted and dissolved. Boil until it smells chocolatey, then add about a shot of cointreau. Wait a few minutes, then beat the crap out of it until it loses its shine, then pour into a tray.

Toffee
I just made toffee. Hoorah.
Shattering a sheet of toffee once it has cooled down is certainly amongst my favourite kitcheny things to do.
Icky Sticky
This is the hokey pokey (5T sugar, 2T golden syrup; warmed until the sugar melts then boiled for 2 minutes. Stir in 1t baking soda, then pour onto a greased tray) I made yesterday. It turned into a sticky mess overnight; which I can only assume is from absorbing water.
