A double boiler is a kinky sex act. Probably. I won’t sully my browser history by trying to find it.
You can melt your chocolate in a microwave set on low power. Stop and stir it a few times until done. I don’t know how long—you have to watch it like a common peeping pervert.
Hey, did I tell you guys yet that another benefit of this Covid bullshit is that I’ve lost my ability to taste? A Thanksgiving bonus!
Double boilers with steamer pots are fantastic. I'm using mine tomorrow to steam sweet potatoes, and I use the boiler to melt chocolate for my signature party dessert, tasticles. It's half a strawberry, half a donut hole, stuck together with a toothpick, and coated in melted chocolate, with chocolate sprinkles. Delicious, but looks vaguely like a testicle.
Alton Brown recommends a shallow pan with an inch or two of water, a tea towel in the water, and the container you're melting chocolate in on top of that. I like the low tech, use what you have approach.
You can also do the double-boiler thing (the cooking kind, not the kink kind ) in a stainless steel bowl sitting on a saucepan with boiling water. (I mean, if you’re into that kind of thing.)
So sorry to hear that Martini.... Mrs. Thors got the Vid for the week of Christmas 2021.... she was MISERABLE... It took until February before she got her taste back.... and it was because I learned to homemade street tacos and they had JUST the right kick of heat and flavor... may your buds stop ghosting you soon and be your buds again!
Betty Ford deserves all the credit for making addiction a thing we actually talk about now. I can't imagine how hard it was for her, but full credit given.
As a harm reductionist, I agree completely. Most people who use drugs do not have a "drug problem." They maintain their jobs, homes, and relationships. Chaotic use is another story altogether, but it's not a crime.
This is all just a ploy to get us to check into the Betty Ford Clinic
Ta, Juli. Vegan so not making this.
Sprinkle with Ludes and Black Beauties…
That sounds BOMB. Hell yeah I'm gonna make it.
Happy turkey day

I love reading this every year. And just like every other year, I am disappointed by the lack of alcohol….
I know I mention this every year, but damn! Betty's dress is absolutely gorgeous. I would kill (or maybe just maim) for that dress.
Sounds heavenly. Not sure I am ambitious enough to try making this one, but yum!

My mom used the inside of her double boiler *also* as the dog’s water bowl, depending on the baking season
I'm so sorry, Martini. I hope your sense of taste returns soon.

Crap! I hope your sense of taste reemerges soon!
Aww, Martini, that super-sucks. Hope it goes away soon.
Hey, at least it’s not the kind of Covid where you end up dead, so it could be worse. I’m still grumpy as fuck, though.
Don’t blame you.

It’s always good to count your blessings, but not at the cost of a good, well-deserved kvetch.

Oh, honey, I get you. I haven't tasted anything in like three years. But I can recognize texture and remember tastes.

I don't judge anyone on their addictions. People are usually trying to block things. Fuck knows I went through a period when I was drinking too much.
Just don't drive or use heavy machinery when you're intoxicated and I'm fine with you.

Is it wrong that I kinda want that red dress at the top? I have to go to a lot of award ceremonies and shit and that would work on me.
You'd have to fight me for it first! Okay, I'll share. Maybe.
Wrong, why? It’s a great cut.
