I blame it on the white chocolate which I find I love. I don't like "real" chocolate with the high cacao content that's good for you.
So, today I thought I'd better replace it, this time for other people to eat.
And I had a great time, three layers swirled and marbled, too hard to break by hand, my thumb being a bit out of commission.
Hence the mallet in the picture. Hitting is fun.
It looks like a stone quarry at the end of a shift. The pale areas are the white chocolate with red food coloring and a bit of the dark mixed in.
This was a consolation for bad weather, wind, rain, falling tree warnings, keeping me away from my knitting group.
And I will be sure to share.
kinda like when I bust up a 10 pound slab of microcrystalline wax. I have to put it in the freezer first though if I want it to break up instead of absorb the hammer blows.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like fun, too. A lot of my art involves hitting and banging stuff. Metal etc. Amuses me when people think art is a quiet, gentle occupation. Well, sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI suggest you make a double batch of testable bark, one for you, one for them one for you, one for them...I love that stuff but like your cornbread my days of chocolate (white especially) bingeing are over. I'll take white over dark any day of the week. Or all of them.
ReplyDeleteAs if I weren't in enough trouble, I'm now learning how to make origami containers for giving with bark in them. To a select few. Origami not being a great skill for me, the few keeps getting fewer.
DeleteThat looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteIt was. The marbling and playing was great. I practically wore it out.
ReplyDeleteI imagine that is as delicious as it is beautiful. I'd like to taste test it to confirm that, though. ;^)
ReplyDeleteYes, it will require extensive testing..
ReplyDeleteTesting is essential to good cooking.
ReplyDeletelol
Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I am craving chocolate. Badly.
ReplyDeleteI think it's the shapes. They make you want to check it out. I'm not a fan of chocolate, but this is somehow better!
ReplyDeleteTesting is very important. *serious face *
ReplyDeleteI can quite understand you needing to test so thoroughly - just in case it made someone sick!! Your latest batch looks very edible too.
ReplyDeleteMarrianne! So great to see you again! The vday chocolate has been well received up to now. No returns.
ReplyDeleteHandsome son visited this evening for a dinner of the Three C's. Chili, cornbread chocolate. Gave excellent reviews to everything, and is hoping for an encore soon.
Sounds like a great dinner all round. Haven't seen much of you on Rav and I haven't been here for a while. Hoping to get back into a routine of checking in on my favourite blogs.
DeleteI'm not so active on Rav at the moment, so you could definitely miss my eyeblink appearances there. Very happy to see you wherever, though.
ReplyDeleteThe chili dinner got a very good review from Handsome Son.
