Continuing the chocolate-learning process, I decided it was time to whip up some candy to make holiday treat bags for Middle C club members at school.To avoid disaster, I tried to pick things that are nearly foolproof.Like almond toffee. Toffee is like caramel, except there is no cream. There's butter and ...

McDonald’s Can’t Do This…

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

In recent months, I have discovered my affinity for the English muffin. Yes, I did not like them as a kid. But now, I'm crazy about them. It's like how I didn't like the crust on bread as a kid and grew into not minding and now I actually enjoy ...

Another day of dismal weather. Today is recovery day from two previous mornings of having to wake up early.After Dad and I got back from restocking the fridge and pantry a bit, my brain was hungry and commanded my body to fix something up.In the mood for something savory and ...

Untoasted Bagels

Monday, August 28th, 2006

It turns out that we had bagels today on two separate occasions. What can I say? Great palates taste alike? Wait, no that sounds like a case of mono waiting to happen.Anyway, in between finishing up at the hospital and going to meet up with Ian, I got hungry. This ...
