....to kill a truffle???? On my path to my first fair promoting Blue Mahoe Chocolates, which comes up in 5 sleeps! I am having some shall we say technical issues with my guest truffle - the milk chocolate with caramelised hazelnut. In the final stages of coating the last 5 truffles, my chocolatiere machine which up until this point I was very much in love with, decided to kill some of my truffles by making them melt into the white chocolate coating. I could have cried. But I was too spent on emotions. The only emotion I am feeling right now is fatigue, as the clock winds down and I'm trying to keep 'Perfectionist Julie' from raising her ugly head. She is lurking somewhere in the background! I can feel her!
Other chocolate news, I finished my batch of coconut rum truffles and they smell absolutely delish! Is delish actually a word?? Or is my multiple times of watching Clueless coming back to haunt me...Anyhow, I digress. I've hand rolled the milk chocolate truffles which will have a dark chocolate coating sprinkled with fair trade granulated sugar. And this is where my tension level begins to rise , I have yet to make the strawberries and cream truffle!! With my homemade strawberry compote!!! Deep breaths in 1...2...3...and out 1...2...3...
It's 9:53pm here and my eyes are slowly closing. I was so tired that I actually took a nap...a nap...during game 5, of the NBA finals between my team the Celtics and the Lakers! I never take a nap!!! So I think this is my body's cry for a good night's sleep and I'm off to give it to her!
Will keep you posted on the truffle adventure!
PS: did spell check...delish isn't a word....oh well.
