For more than a few weeks now I've been "beatin' the pavement" as my dad would say, lookin' for a job. Unfortunately though, finding a good job is about as hard as finding an intelligent sentence in a Palin interview. That being true, I've taken this abundance of free time and put it to good use. You see, since going to culinary school, I've developed a dorky obsession with chocolates and confections. From well made, classic confections, to cutting edge (and mostly bizarre) candies, I'm totally fascinated and captivated by the methods by which they're made. That being said, this "limbo" time has afforded me the awesome opportunity to develop some candies at home. Now, much like any concept, one must first work within the "safe" realm before he/she can venture into unknown territory. So, without further adue, I've decided to "Go My Own Way" so to speak, and I give you a simple box of chocolates of my construction:
Now that the preverbal band-aid has been torn off and production has begun, the more unusual ideas have started flowing. With that, I've ordered some funky ingredients and will be experimenting with them this week. I'll have to keep you in suspense as to what they are, but I will say this: They aren't flavors.
Weird huh? If I can get these ideas to work, I'll have some VERY unique candies to distribute. ;)
Guess you'll just have to stay tuned!
Ciao!
