I made chocolate truffles this weekend — pretty easy to do ingredient wise but somewhat messy.  The messiness part reminded me of trying to make a dog shaped candle in college and I ended up getting hot wax all over my hands and clogging the drain as the wax dried in the pipes.  Thankfully that didn’t happen with the chocolate but my hands were pretty greased up afterwards. I also tried making lemon tarts yesterday using a non-three michelin star chef approved recipe and the results were disastrous.  The amount of sugar and acidic lemon the recipe called for was like a punch in the mouth when I tasted it.  I guess there are some tastes that only 8 year olds can enjoy…
