Macarons and fudge

That was dessert last night. We had pizza, too. But Chloe's flatmate made macarons. I watched attentively. It's a slow process, but not terribly complicated (well, for me, anyway.) She also gave me the site she uses for it, and an idea of where to look for a cheap kitchen scale. (After asking, I remembered my building has one, so I may not get one here anyway, but they're still cool.) Then we were talking about making stuff (I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast yesterday, with cream cheese frosting and all - Chloe and her flatmate were stunned. It's funny what is new and interesting to different people) and Chloe mentioned that I know how to make fudge sauce (here it only exists at McD's) and the guy that had come over (oh, yeah, there was a couple of their friends over) was like, 'you have to get that recipe!!' and I said it was actually very easy and i had all the stuff for it, so I jumped up and made a small batch of microwave fudge. I didn't measure, so intending to make actual fudge, I ended up with more of a very thick sauce. They didn't mind. I forgot to mention, though, to take it easy. I for some reason thought it was obvious. But after a bit, two of them were like "uggggg... too much sugar!" Oh, right, that. I'm gonna go wash the dishes I've diritied, so more later, maybe. Since I leave tomorrow (sniff, don't remind me!) I may be too busy and you'll have to wait til I'm back to hear more.

  3. I don't know. I don't even know what I don't like about pizza at home. It's just gross. Except pizza I make. That's pretty good. Or BBQ chicken pizza. I think it's something about the sauce and the cheese. But not sure.
