I find temporing chocolate difficult. Caramels and English Toffees are much more suited to my skill level but I find the process therapeutic and they make great gifts at work.

As far as moulds go, keep it simple. Drop, balls, bars taste great and a lot can be said for miniature muffin papers for ready made shapes.

Thanks, Q! What I really want to try first is chocolate covered macadamia nuts.

I got married so young we literally grew up together. It made for some very volatile years.

I understand this. My first husband and I tried; we were married 9 years. Ultimately, we just wanted different lives. I wanted a career; he wanted a SAHM.

Vanilla made from whiskey is pretty great too!

I don't have any of that. My BIL used coconut rum. I do have lots of that. Seems there are some chemistry experiments in my future!

I got injured one season playing soccer. We didn't have extra players to spare so I taped up so we wouldn't forfeit. It was murder pulling that tape off hairy legs. I shaved them the rest of the season to avoid a repeat trauma. I had the prettiest legs on the team that year!

Now you know what we go through! And why we sometimes wonder if it was worth it to make our legs smooth.

She's gorgeous!

Do you think she knows that she's different than the other dolphins?
I bet they've told her...

Cyclists shave.......

Had to go look that one up... think today's my first time seeing it.

So does Fleet Farm... just saying

Thought that word sounded familiar somehow.

Oh my! I can imagine!!

Guess my motto is "go big or stay home" - my injury was a knee dislocation. No amount of tape was going to fix that up.

"That's all your manhood right there!"

@likes2watchU
I'm not familiar with Fleet Farm.
I guess we're in different regions.

I'd like to think so. That's why it made me feel like an ass. My 18 year old told me something similar a few years back for a similar reason. When am I ever gonna learn, right? Lol

Looks like you did learn. Some!

Shall I let you know when I make them?

The weekend is coming to a close and Monday is hard upon us! Enjoy your week everyone! ️

You can FAX us all some!

 

[Greylag]

K+ and I will check when we visit!

I can’t wait lol

 

[Greylag]

Oh, just continue to ignore that bit of wisdom!

I have and survived despite defying my father @Lilianna23

As have I.

Hi, boys! Come to Auntie Lili! I have yummy treats!

Of that, I have absolutely no doubt!

Many thanks for all the love. I am absolutely fine with everything, even though, as Executor of the will, the mass of paperwork now awaits me.
Mum had a good couple of years after Dad passed, in her own apartment in a community of similar people. She made new friends and lived only 4 miles from my sister and nieces. She passed quickly and quietly. Hopefully, she is now back with Dad and the succession of ageing dogs that she took on in her later years.

I'm glad to hear that, truly glad.

Good morning early risers and afternoon perhaps to those overseas. Typical weather where it swings from winter to spring from day to day. It drives my sinuses crazy. But the grass is greening and the sun seems warmer.

Have a good day and until OM arrives, have a fresh brewed cup:

Good morning and thank you B2!

Have a great Monday, if there is such a thing.

I am gonna try to get up early and get my stupid taxes done.

I did mine 3 weeks ago, but I'm waiting to mail them because I need to send money.


They make me wait, I make them wait.
