Lets make some Candy!

Ever wonder how to make your own chocolate bar? I mean something like maybe a baby ruth. Yup thats right now you can cause here is a recipe for you. Enjoy and don’t feed your pets chocolate. They will die. -RIP emily the dog 2000-

Baby Ruth® Candy Bar

Beneath the chocolate of Nestlés popular candy bar
is a chewy, peanut-covered center that resembles
Hershey’s PayDay. To clone this one we’ll only have
to make a couple adjustments to the PayDay clone recipe,
then add the milk chocolate coating. Even though the
wrapper of this candy bar calls the center “nougat,”
it’s more of a white or blonde fudge that you can make
in a saucepan on your stovetop with a candy thermometer.

Centers
1/4 cup whole milk
5 unwrapped caramels
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

20 unwrapped caramels
1 1/2 teaspoons water
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 12-ounce bag milk chocolate chips

1. Combine all ingredients for the centers, except the
powdered sugar, in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir
often as the caramel slowly melts. When the mixture is smooth,
add 3/4 cup of powdered sugar. Stir. Save the remaining 1/2
cup of powdered sugar for later.

2. Use a candy thermometer to bring the mixture to exactly 230
degrees, stirring often, then turn off the heat.

3. When the temperature of the candy begins to drop, add the
remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar to the pan, then use a hand
mixer on high speed to combine. Keep mixing until the candy
cools and thickens and can no longer be mixed. That should take
a minute or two.

4. Let the candy cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, or until
it can be touched. Don’t let it sit too long – you want the candy
to still be warm and pliable when you shape it. Take a
tablespoon-size portion and roll it between your palms or on a
countertop until it forms a roll the width of your index finger,
and measuring about 4 1/2-inches long. Repeat with the remaining
center candy mixture and place the rolls on wax paper. You should
have 8 rolls. Let the center rolls sit out for an hour or two to
firm up.

5. Combine the 20 caramels with the 1 1/2 teaspoons of water in a
small saucepan over low heat. Stir often until the caramels melt
completely, then turn off the heat. If you work fast this caramel
will stay warm while you make the candy bars.

6. Pour the peanuts onto a baking sheet or other flat surface.
Using a basting brush and working quickly, “paint” a coating of
caramel onto one side of a center roll. Quickly turn the center
over, caramel side down, onto the peanuts and press gently so that
the peanuts stick to the surface of the candy. Paint more caramel
onto the other side of the roll and press it down onto the peanuts.
The candy should have a solid layer of peanuts covering all sides.
If needed, brush additional caramel onto the roll, then turn it onto
the peanuts to coat the roll completely. Place the candy bar onto
wax paper, and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Place these
bars into your refrigerator for an hour or two so that they firm up.

7. Pour the milk chocolate chips into a glass or ceramic bowl and zap
it in the microwave for 2 minutes on 50 percent power. Gently stir the chips, then heat for an additional 30 seconds at 50 percent power. Repeat if necessary, stirring gently after each 30 seconds. Don’t overcook the chips or the chocolate will burn and seize up on you.

8. Drop a candy bar center into the melted milk chocolate. Cover the
candy bar with chocolate using two forks, one in each hand. When
the candy is covered with chocolate, balance the bar on both of the
forks, one at each end of the candy bar, and tap the forks on the
top edge of the bowl so that much of the chocolate drops off.
Carefully place the candy bar onto wax paper and remove the two
forks. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, and then chill the
candy bars until firm.
Makes 8 candy bars.

Want to Make Olive Garden Bread Sticks?

So you want to know how to make them? They are tasty and for me they are the highlight of going to olive garden. Enjoy!

1 Loaf unfrozen bread dough – (if frozen, thaw in bowl at room temp)
Pam or oil
Garlic powder
Dry oregano leaf — rub between fingers

When dough is soft enough to knead, spray your fingers with Pam
or oil and knead just until you can shape into cigar-sized pieces
(about 8 to 10). Place these 3″ apart on Pam-sprayed cookie sheets.
Let rise in warm place until doubled – about 1-1/2 hours. Then
holding Pam about 8″ from sticks, lightly spray top of each and
then dust with garlic powder and oregano. Bake at 375~ about 20 to
25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on rack to serve
within a day or two.

Olive Garden Bread sticks are just brown and serve soft breadsticks.
Brown in the oven and spread liquid margarine over them, then
sprinkle with garlic salt.

Anime Drawing – Imaginary Idea’s

Personally, I can’t draw very well at all. Even if you paid me a thousand dollars I could not draw. Don’t get me wrong, I would try. Try hard I would. I came across this website the other day. I don’t remember which one but it asked me to post and sell my drawings. I thought that was a cool idea. Maybe, just maybe, I would learn how to draw and get rich quick off of them. So, I went and typed into google anime drawing. First thing that came up was from Wanna Learn: anime drawing.Great information but I quickly gave up.

My next idea was to talk to a good friend of mine Danny Eversley. Now that guy can draw. I have known him for many many years. He is an amateur artist and film producer. Danny is also one of the hardest working guys that I have ever met. He doesn’t sell his work but I am convinced that he should. I do believe he also does custom drawings by request. Attached is a picture by Danny. You can contact him by way of the link at the beginning of the paragraph. Have fun learning how to draw!

Why do women like christmas more than men?

For the life of me I cannot figure this out. I am not into the whole holiday idea. Christmas is coming up in a few weeks and to be honest I really don’t care. Now my wife on the other hand has made a big deal about this in the past. We don’t have any kids and I really don’t have any family so the holiday is about her and her family. I don’t really see any reason to conform into the commercialism of Christmas. All I want to do is just sit at home with any family I do have and eat a nice meal and enjoy their company. Is that too much to ask? I don’t care about presents or stockings or any of that. I didn’t really want a Christmas tree this year. My excuse not to get one was that the cats will ruin it. That didn’t work. My wife set-up this 3 foot plastic tree near the front window. Do all men feel this way? I personally just don’t understand.

I suppose all I want for Christmas is for my wife and I to sit down together and eat a great tasting meal, eat some holiday cookies, watch the movie ” A Christmas Story” and have a good time. Sometimes I don’t think women, in general, can be simple. Everything has to be so complicated. Huh, I just don’t understand.
