more sea salt caramels!

After the batch of rock hard caramels (see the previous post) we tried again. We added the same amount of molasses, since we thought the taste was really really great.

This time, we paid a lot more attention to the head and temperature, and made sure it didn't heat up so fast. They turned out to be a great consistency!! Here they are, covered in chocolate. :)

the post grad survival kit

One of Alex's friends just finished grad school, and we wanted to send her something to celebrate, so we put together a 'post grad survival kit' complete with instructions.

We included:

Bag of candy/stickers

1. Take to work and store in a secure drawer

2. Use when needed

Wedding book (This friend is also planning a wedding)

1. Look at all the cool ideas

2. Do not get overwhelmed

3. Don't hesitate to ask for help!

Coffee

1. Brew coffee.

2. Drink until no longer tired.

Movie/restaurant certificate

1. At the beginning of the week, pick a movie/restaurant

2. At the end of the week, celebrate the end of your first week of work by seeing a movie and going out to eat!

I hope she likes it!
