WIP: candy pears with whipped cream

Sometimes things just pop into my head and cause a ruckus I can’t ignore until I get it out. Sometimes this results in art. Sometimes in various crafts. A lot of times in food.

A various craft - Sackboy

I also have a problem. It’s called “not looking shit up”. This problem is the equivalent of throwing myself off the side of a cliff and saying I discovered gravity only now it’s called pullation. Mmm hm. I like to discover reactions in cooking by trial and error it’s one of the things that I like the most about it. It’s not just about taste and aesthetics. It’s about science.

Dirt Roads to a Great Recipe: Simple Buttery Caramel

What’s a girl to do in the middle of nowhere Alabama with a great friend?

SHOOT GUNS!

It's not that loud - LIES!

Drink wine!!

Make candy!!!

Wait. What the hell? Yep, if I have the urge to cook something really bad for me I try to have someone else lined up to take some of the load off. The calorie load, that is, and Amber and company were more than willing to help.

Recipe: Candied Kumquat is delicious on everything

This is just going to be a little taster (haha) of what I’ve been up to since the last post over a week ago. I’ve done several things that I really like, but unfortunately I’ve been hit with a nasty case of NO-THAT’S-MINE!-itis. This has not been helped by the rash of food bloggers who’ve found their photos and entire fucking posts stolen on other sites. No, I will not post the sites or the bloggers who have been stolen from – 1. because everyone is already probably visiting the ones who were stolen from and 2. like any bloodsucking thieves, any traffic is good traffic to those who stole from them.

While in quarantine with my inter-fection (get it? internet and infection? Yeah, I got it.), I have a tasty little treat keep myself company. A tasty little treat that has actually already been completely eaten. Yeah, perhaps I made it too tasty because… No, no. I think I’m going to go this route.
