One thing in looking at the houses was that I'll just not do with a kitchen smaller than the one I have now. No fricking way. I don't care if it has just been completely renovated. Newp.

My parents leave at 6:15 tomorrow. Which means I am getting up at 4:30 to drive them to the airport. Hey, I might have time to do a load of laundry before I even have to shower to go to work.

I'm not sure I've ever made caramel that wasn't consumed the same day, but if I were making enough to store, I'd put it in the fridge. (Probably with a wad of paper towels underneath to catch drips.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

If I made caramel syrup, how would I store it?

I'd put plastic wrap right on the surface of the sauce, because it'll develop a bit of a skin when it cools. Not that this isn't tasty, but it'll affect the texture when you go to reuse it. Other than that, just make sure it's in a good sealed container -- and be sure it's cooled to room temp before you pack it up, if your container is plastic.

Could it be stored for a while?

A good long while, but note what Beth and Jess said about it not lasting long enough to become an issue.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thanks- I'm thinking of putting it in coffee, so hopefully it will last a little while....

Speaking of coffee, I just found this and am very tempted!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I am making ice cream today for the first time since summer camp as a kidlet. Just a cheap rock salt and ice maker, but I hope it turns out well.

Mmm. I haven't made ice cream yet this summer. Between that and the caramel sauce, Brane is short-circuiting on the nom.

(Although we did have grill bread tonight.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had an awesome cheeseburger for dinner, on a pretzel roll. Yum.

Now I would like ice cream. I already had one serving of the most-likely substitution today (frozen blueberries, granola, milk), so I guess I'll pass on that. Ah well...
