That's got to feel good.

Griff · 11-09-2015, 07:34 PM

Yeah. We beat the snow.

I made marshmallows! Like real, fluffy, white marshmallows that taste just like marshmallows except my kids can eat them.

I'd had the recipe forever but hadn't attempted it because I just couldn't believe that it could possibly work. The only ingredients are gelatin and honey (plus a bit of salt and vanilla extract, but that's not really germane) and I know what gelatin and honey looks like: honey-flavored jello. Which is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a damn marshmallow.

But there's a process, and a technique, and... I'll be goddamned if it didn't work exactly right on the first try. Even Mr. Clod agreed, they look and taste just like a freaking marshmallow, and he is more than willing to tell me when something is, "Well... good enough for the kids, anyway." They can even be roasted if you do it quickly and carefully.

That's cool!

I've heard there is an actual plant called Marsh Mallow, and marshmallows used to be made from it, but I have no idea if any of that is true.

Today I made £34. For which I worked five hours and travelled four and a half.

DanaC · 01-11-2016, 04:10 PM

that should have read: travelled four and a half hours.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-11-2016, 04:39 PM

I thought it did.

Griff · 02-14-2016, 01:49 PM

Bathroom job is coming along...

xoxoxoBruce · 02-14-2016, 02:23 PM

Very nice, but with three females in residence I can see 99 bottles, tubes and unidentifiable thingys, accumulating in the future.

Griff · 02-14-2016, 02:27 PM

Got two out the house. This is my habitat!

glatt · 02-14-2016, 02:04 PM

Very nice!

I like the rough milled casing, but I wonder about splinters, especially when feeling for the light switch?

I was on the fence about swapping that out. It's actually soft to the touch the result of a sawing error a long long time ago.
