Kavi Cuts the Marshmallows 🙂
Perfect Size Packaging
The new packaging I found is also the perfect size for dipped marshmallows. 
Yay! These are passionfruit dipped in milk chocolate with tiny gold hearts…
Pretty Enough for Gifting
Found new packaging that I like for the cashew milk toffee. It’s the little things. I wanted something pretty enough for gifting — I think this qualifies!
Another Degree or Two to Go
Milk toffee when it’s almost ready to be poured — we’re looking for ‘soft ball’ stage. Just another degree or two to go…
Not Recommended for Beginners
Milk toffee in a pot that is JUST big enough. Living dangerously — this is not recommended for beginners.
Whipping the Passionfruit Marshmallows…
Unplanned Scones
Scones! I hadn’t planned on making them, because I was trying to be reasonable and minimize party cooking, but they had some mix at the store that just required adding water, so I thought, what the heck!
I stirred in some crystallized ginger and dried cranberries, baked — super-easy. I haven’t tried them yet, so will report back if they’re not good, but I think they’ll likely be just fine. To be served with clotted cream, lemon curd, and jam…
All That Really Matters
Had a momentary panic last night when I realized I was somehow out of masoor dal, the red lentils we prefer in Sri Lanka. But I did have plenty of split green lentils (moong dal) on hand, so I thought I’d try subbing those in — they’re good!
They take maybe 15 minutes longer to cook, and the end result is a different color and slightly different flavor, but still delicious, which is all that really matters…
The Queen Likes It Spicy
Almost done with the Autumn in Wonderland treat boxes — just shipped out the Milky Way boxes. Just Interstellar tier to go; I want to try making one more item for them, so will hopefully ship those tomorrow.
Pictured here, little dragonfruit-citrus-white-pepper chocolate crowns. I thought the Queen of Hearts would like her chocolates a little spicy…
Packed and Ready to Go
Well, we managed to ship out all the Earth tier boxes, woot! I think I can get the Sol System tier out today as well; they’re packed up and ready to go, so I’ll just drop them at the post office on my way to tonight’s school board meeting.
But now, I’m going to take the opportunity to rest for a few hours, because I am TIRED. I’m prescribing myself tea, a little chai-spiced banana bread, and the new episode of Midsummer Murders that just aired a few days ago. Why are British murder mysteries so relaxing? We may never know…
