Botched caramel


I tried Fudgy Souffle cake with warm turtle sauce from 'Cooking Light Annual Recipes 2001'. I made them in custard cups, so decided to bake for 25 instead of 35 min. It was not enough time and we would missed the amazing puff that the cakes got with the next 10min baking. After we admired a little the show was off and they went back in. My home attempt of caramel was a flop. My roomate saved me in time with smuckers. And when I didnt like the raw pecans and then tasted the toasted pecans. There is no reason to have raw nuts.
The inside was very soft. Great joy all in all.

She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
