If it doesn't bbq (or slowpot)I usually don't make it.

...ouch! Vintage ones are rare now. Ouch! The new plastic ones are 3 bucks. I like the chocolate chess set and checkers set. Got a small niece or nephew that's easily wired? How bout making them a 5 pound chocolate easter bunny with a mold. Your family will kill you as the child bounces off the walls at warp speed.

I just cook

yeah me too,, but i can make some candy not too many people can make,, like divinity and things like that

you know of cream candy don't you Thumps?

Does jerky qualify?

...yeah I am. I'm going to use this site to the best of my abilities. And I'm not going to crack any jokes that may be misconstrued by any snitches. Because I feel that the hypocrisy and political correctness on here is beyond pathetic. But that one chick really did have a nice vagina picture on her profile. Aint that right Thumper, Carebear, and Polson?

You looking at porn on here, Steve?

YES




I mean I wouldn't know

YES




I mean I wouldn't know

...I have the patience. And after knowing and tempering dark chocolate- its worth the struggles and strife. And if it turns out I can use the experience in a cooking class to give to my girl scout troop on making candy. Hopefully they don't eat it all before its made.

I love cookies!

i am innocent,,,

But there is good news. My father and I are going to make some homemade hooch this spring. Going to make some specialy wines. I'm rounding up my supplies now. Going to try to make a batch of dandelion wine off spring dandelions. Then a batch of root beer wine. Maybe 3 to 5 gallons of each. There is a booze making store in town that specializes in bacillus yeasts for winemaking. I'm pretty good at it. My grandfather was a liquor maker. Distilled corn mash whiskey. We could make high alcohol wine in 5 gallon batches, fire up the still, and distill a couple of batches of sugar mash alcohol through it, and then put the wine through the still and make high grade brandy. 145 proof root beer brandy will make you see things. Summer sippin fun!

I'm thinking road trip to Wisconsin, who's in?

There is a store in town that you can make your own beer. Kinda spendy, but sounds like fun.

Of course when word gets out that my father and I are making booze- everyone gets that raised eyebrow look like spock on star trek. My mother really rolls her eyes. Like "Here we go again"! Relax mom- small batches. No exploding garage stills, no messes, and no really drunk giggling relatives experimenting with the finished product.

And, she believes you?

i plan on making some apple brandy and peach brandy this year,, and some scuppernong wine,,,
