Chocolate Candy Experimentation


I learned about a warehouse in Montebello that sells chocolate by the bulk. My friend and I purchased 25 pounds of it! I've made marshmellows dipped in carmel, chocolate, and topped with sprinkles and nuts. Recently, I made brownies dipped in chocolate and crushed butterfinger. I'm thinking I should have incorporated a marshmellow as well. Can you imagine the yumminess? I've been inspired by http://www.bakerella.com/. Wendy made their cake balls, which have become a big favorite of her friends. Christy made chocolate trains suckers for my grandson's third birthday party. I can't wait to get inspired again.
Brownies on a Stick. Follow directions from a boxed brownie mix. I did use an extra egg to make it more cake-like. Pour into cupcake papers in a cupcake pan about 1/2 full. After baking, remove the brownies from the pan and when cool enough, remove them from the papers. Insert a stick in thickest part of the brownie. Melt chocolate in a high glass bowl. Gently dip into chocolate, or do as I did - butter the chocolate onto the brownie, completely covering it. Immediately dip into a shallow bowl of crushed butterfinger. Wa la!

This Month's Happenings

February
On February 3, along with our good friends Burt and Barb, Dick and I headed to Laughlin, NV for some BIG fun.

Our first stop was to visit my brother, Rick and his girl friend, Sandy in Mojave, AZ. His mobile home is located east of Needles, CA, on the other side of the Colorado River. Since Dick and I hadn't visited Rick at his home in many years, I was thrilled to be there. Rick is such a caring, good man, father, son, and brother. He has learned that he has COPD caused by being exposed to asbestos in the Navy. He has been trying to get a handle on it, making many long trips to the VA Hospital. Thankfully, Rick has Sandy as an advocate for him. She is a force to be reckoned with! I know they are on the right road so they can have a good retirement.

We stayed at the River Palms Casino. Dick quickly made his way to the Let It Ride table. When winning was not in the cards, he would find a slot machine. Burt, Barb, and I were the three amigos. We had lots of fun winning on the craps table. We played a little roulette and dabbled with the slot machines. We had a fun dinner at Joes Crab Shack on the river.

Christy, Chas, and Logan are coming to Whittier to visit us on February 19th. I've been trying to think of something fun to do, but have yet to come up with a really good idea. Logan is starting to get to the age where he would like to play on equipment. I noticed La Mirada Park have some fun play equipment that he might like. Wendy and I found that Descanso Gardens have a delightful little choo choo train that we can all ride on. We'll see if that fits in.

January
We celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary.
