Chocolate is my addiction, I must admit. Especially when it's warm. I think about it, dream about it, bake it, make candy with it, eat it after lunch or dinner nearly every day.

So all my projects have to be hot water bath only. But I thought that was pretty amazing. On the dinner front: It just wasn't a good day. The idea was to make fish and chips. The russet potatoes were all used up so I cut up some redskins, oiled, salt and peppered and baked them. They didnt get done in time for dinner. No one ate them. The fish batter didnt stick to part of o...
