Chocolat

You may recall that I went shopping with Fiona.  Last Thursday I went to her place to do a bit of cooking. 

I have mentioned previously that Fiona likes to cook.  She has a very well decked-out kitchen and likes to wear pink.  On this occasion, we were making marzipan using her whiz bang machines and equipment.  We were to make chocolates but the super duper candy thermometer wouldn't work.  The battery needed replacing, possibly because she had made over a thousand chocolates at Christmas time...  She likes to cook.

So I returned the following day for the chocolate melting and tempering process.  This is very fascinating and exacting.  Science at work - something that could be pointed out in cooking classes at schools.  The acute observer may have noticed that Fiona is sporting a different pink dress this day.  She has a number of them which she whips up herself.  Sport and Fiona don't exactly go together, though she has a boat called The Pink Suffragette.

You won't be surprised by the finished article.
  (Note fish looking for a bicycle, but definitely not Johnny Depp even though a river runs beside the house.)

  1. Loved the photo of Fiona's place. Anything called 'Homestead' gets my tick of approval. What a fun couple of days for you. The finished product did look yummy. Loved the obscure fish/bicycle reference!!! He he. Who needs them? FF
