mmm, minty

So one of my co-workers gave me a juicy big candy cane today. It's at least half an inch thick. I love mint, so I definitely wanted to find some way to make use of it.

Then I came across Amy's blog entry about peppermint fudge, which had a link to another blog entry about adapting a coconut fudge recipe in a newsletter (scroll to the bottom).

So dilemma solved already thanks to the Interwebtube. That must be a record!

I wonder how minty the fudge is. I may decrease the amount of peppermint extract, as I only want a hint of mint coming through rather than an eye-watering, mouth-drooling, throat-choking minty wallop. Oops, sorry, thinking on the keyboard again.

I'm going to have too much fun smashing the candy cane.

PS- I keep forgetting to ask why your looking up in your pic.

What on earth do you see Cate?

Oh yea, forgot. Neil Gaiman is writing a few issues of the Batman comic & he has a kids(?) book coming out w/Charles Vess. I think it's called Blueberry Girl. Did you read The Graveyard Book? What did you think?

Also looking forward to the live action/stop motion Coraline film which I think should have been out by now.

Cate- SORRY to hear of your cats' troubles. I hope your kittie is well soon. No blogging? Look sister, if I started blogging you'd better as well! ;^)~

PS- Just read a HC graphic novel of Coraline. It was very cool. I loved the art.
