This weekend was out SLI Party (a final get-together before Sierra heads of to LA for a year at the Dream Center), and we all made food for the evening. The Kuepfer's (our hosts) provided the burgers, sausages, and veggies, but we were charged with either an interesting snack, a mediocre drink or a mouthwatering desert. Well, typical me, I decided to bring all three. However my budget said, "NO!" So I thought I would try something new and not bring anything baked, I would bring a snack and a drink. However when Janette posted on our Facebook page asking who was bringing what (so we don't all bring the same thing) a handful of people were bringing drinks and snacks, so I switched to deserts. I'm glad I stuck with just one because it was helpful to the budget. So I decided to make Saltine Toffee's again. I bought supplies to make 4 batches.
The party was on Saturday evening, so Friday evening I made one batch for the Baxter's - it didn't survive the night. Saturday morning I got up and made the remaining 3 batches. However on the first two I did something that I thought would speed up the process (that actually worked on Friday's batch) but it ended up burning all the chocolate. So I made a run into Walmart for more supplies. While I was in town I stopped at the market to get one of the Iced Mocha's Ariel's work is now offering - and I've found is quite good. - Man it was packed, Labour day weekend, St. Jacob's Market. Just driving from Walmart to the main road (just a little jog), I had to wait through 4 or 5 stoplight cycle since only a few cars could get through each cycle because it was Sooo packed.
Anyways I got supplies for another 2 batches and I came home and made them accurately.
Joshua - I have been wondering when the party was and what you decided to make. It was probably a hit!! gma b
ReplyDeleteThe party was for our SLI class, kind of as a get-together before school starts and before a classmate leaves for LA.
DeleteFor the food, I made Saltine Toffees.
