I made french toast tonight from Rebecca and my sourdough bread.

Filed under things that are delicious.

Cakeball people…

do you know if a bar of melted dark chocolate will work the same as chocolate bark? We used all our chocolate chips up last night, and I don’t want to run to the store. I wouldn’t be able to make very many, but I’d be able to make a few…

No idea, but I want to say yes, it should harden fine.

Actually, I want to say GET IN MY MOUTH, but that’s a given.

It might be a little bitter, if it is maybe add a bit of sweet and condensed milk but if you do that make sure that it hardens before you dunk all your cakeballs in it! However, it should work just fine!

If you’re going to melt a dark chocolate bar, I would recommend melting a little gulf wax into it to stabilize it. I don’t know how big of a chocolate bar you’re talking about here, but I’d say a sugar cube-sized chunk of gulf wax per 3oz dark chocolate wouldn’t hurt.

It’ll stabilize things, it won’t mess with the flavor, and it’ll give it all a nice gloss when it sets.

I love this thing.

Have $1600? Want to buy me a mixer?

I wish you could’ve been here to try my pink champagne cupcakes with pink champagne (homemade) icing.

I’m starting to catch on to this whole baking thing.

That does sound pretty tasty!

I made chicken spiedini for dinner last night, which called for mincing a few cloves of garlic.

My fingers, after multiple hand-washings and a shower, still smell like garlic.
