So, another weekend has gone by with no sewing whatsoever. Getting this new semester started is part of it, but I've just been creatively blocked. With Quilting in the Snow coming up next weekend (guild retreat at Chena Hot Springs) I should have gotten some projects ready. Instead, I tested an idea for chocolate bark to bring out and share. The pan on the left left is dark chocolate lemon cayenne bark and the pan on the right is dark and white chocolate lemon bark . I went a bit overboard with the cayenne, dumping in some more before the heat of the test sample had a chance to fully register. Still delish!
I made my own candied lemon peel. Very easy, but it would be worth it to find a commercial source as it takes a lot of lemons. I'd probably double the amount I put in, but I'm lucky I had any to use in the barks this time. Jeanetta kept sneaking it. Next I want to try one with Kirsch and Chukar Cherries, one with Grand Marnier and candied orange peel, and one with spiced cranberries. Yum!
