Happy birthday!!

Chapter 6 complete! Time to travel! See y'all later with more reading!

We're actually on Ch. 6!

Reading for 30 minutes before I have to meet family!

Wesker Dad may need a new moniker of Ted Danson Dad because he let all the white in his hair grow out and got glasses. Looks like The Good Place/Man on the Inside TD era now.

They turned out fantastic!

They're so pretty!! Pralines are best in low doses due to how sugary they are so it's good that they're easy to break apart and share!

Here's the recipe if y'all want to try it out! Soft ball stage is around 235-240°F and I recommend getting a candy thermometer to accurately assess when you're there instead of dropping small amounts in a bowl of cold water after it starts boiling.

FINALLY!!

We might have winners!! Look at that nice gloss almost matte finish.

We are so close! These I took out a little too soon and are shiny and sticky. We'll see if they set. The last ones are perfect and what we're looking for in a praline!

First test batch done. Set a little too fast but the flavor and texture is perfect. Gotta work a little quicker before it starts hardening so we get nice puddles of praline. Candy making is unforgiving. 😅

I can blitz these and use as praline topping for drinks or sweet potatoes.

We read the Letters and Chapters 1 - 4 tonight. Thanks for tuning in to the Retro Reading Relaxation!

Oop, we gotta wait for my e-reader to charge first. 🤪

Will we romance Nami? Rock (Howard)? Maybe Molly? Gordy Or Gustafa?? We shall see.
