Today, because Valentines Day is just around the corner, I made, hopefully, delicious truffles. I have never ever made them before so.... today was my first shot. I made about 60 of them. They aren't ready(they have to sit overnight) yet. I had to write about them... I am really excited and hope they are just as good as they look. Anyway, enough of my jabbering on about how darn excited I am and back to basics. This incident was sort of like the inside out pizza making except, this time we fixed it. I must say, to me, it was a bit worrisome, although, I'm supposing I am being just a tad dramatic. Well... I was doing exactly what the recipe said and all the sudden (you must understand this recipe said to boil the cream and the butter then pour it over the chocolate so that it melts) the chocolate wasn't really melting. I, then, put it in the microwave (which I'm strongly against) and still not much luck. I told my mom and it was alright! Ah, this is one of those times when you're a beginner in something and you think your super man and you realize there are people who have mastered your skill. Oh well... maybe one day I will be super man like the masters! Cooking is very tricky. It is not a piece of cake (ha, ha, ha!). It involves much more than patience it involves concentration and yes... super man skill. That is lesson to beginners and maybe even those super mans. When you think your great, you still have a long way to go.

Valentines Day Is Around The Kitchen
