Family Dinner

Yesterday was a blur.  I honestly don't remember what I did.  I know that I over-seeded a batch of chocolate and had to use the immersion blender - it still didn't temper.

I also remember helping to make white chocolate bars with candied roses, pistachios, and saffron.  Addicting and beautiful.

Today I helped with milk chocolate bars covered in tobacco and hazelnut, ACTUALLY GOT THE DARK TO TEMPER AND WORKED WITH IT FOR A GOOD TWO HOURS!, lost the temper, tried to re-temper, failed, enjoyed dinner at the shop, and polished molds until 9.

Today was a very good day.  I was so busy enrobing that I didn't have lunch until 4.
