I can just imagine how many tooth fillings get lost. They probably have a bucket next to the stand specially for 'lost fillings' - the maple syrup ice pop things, I'm talking about |
Yeah, it's taffy-like. For all the sweats my wife and daughters are always eating, they are all thin and fit with no cavities. I, despite eating few sweats, got a bunch of fillings in my youth, and have had an ongoing battle with my weight. >:-(

They have high metabolisms, I'm convinced. My father-in-law and brother-in-law are the same way.
Tonight I go for my first session with a personal trainer who is built like a brick house. I've battled all summer, dieting and playing tennis, to lose 60 pounds. Now that tennis is gone with the weather, I've joined a fitness club and have shelled out a fair bit of cash for a personal trainer to help me get rid of remnant flab and to tone up. I'm a little nervous, but I'm fully prepared to go all-in.

If you were willing to come down to the Danforth, and bring Skeene along, I could have kicked your asses into shape. |

Heh, that would be awesome, but I needed a location I could work into my schedule. If Skeene out-did me on any weights I'd just get discouraged. ;-)

I was referring to their apparent propensity for chowing down on cotton-fleece garments — I don't believe any degree of elevated metabolism will account for that ... |

Okay, first round.
I screwed up the top layer (yea, I abso-freakin-lutely cannot melt chocolate chips apparently) so I had to use a chocolate buttercream icing-- still very rich and sweet but probably not as "dark" as the original recipe called for.
Out of the 100 or so kids that sampled it today, only 4 didn't like it. Most came back to see if they could get seconds. My daughter's class LOVED it, and they were like trying to get thirds and fourths. |

Did you pair it with a nice Oatmeal Stout? If you didn't, you should have. |

96% should still get you an "A" — nice going! |

Ewww, it needs the hard top so you can hold it. You would have had 100% success otherwise.

Someone must have really liked these maple syrup lollies.

i used an icing recipe that sets up pretty firm. not as hard as what was called for, but it was holdable. :)
and generale, no stout this time. maybe in 13 or 14 years they can pair those two things together. :P |

| Glad the kids liked it so much, Karma! Re melting chocolate...it has a VERY low melting point, if you're not careful it'll separate too much and seize up. Anyway sounds like it was a success apart from the weird kids who didn't like them :-) |
