Card Games. Mixed Drinks. Grammar. Last Christmas, my brother and I made peanut butter balls, a Young family tradition. First you mix the dough: crunchy peanut butter, Rice Krispies, margerine, and powdered sugar. Then you form it into balls and coat them in chocolate. I was getting ready to melt the chocolate and the paraffin and my brother said, "That's disgusting. We can't put wax in the chocolate." I explained that wax makes the chocolate hard and shiny. My brother flipped to the candy section of "The Joy of Cooking". You can temper chocolate: melt it and bring it up to a really high temperature, then take it down to a low temperature, and back up to high. Somehow this has the same effect as wax. So we didn't add the wax and I got "The Joy of Cooking" for Christmas. Now I read The Joy to corroborate advice co-workers give me. I read the section overviews in bed. Podcasts and blogs and U-Tube and The Food Network and The Joy of Cooking are our substitute teachers. The best subs are hand-picked by the teacher. Knitting.
