Caramel Without Cream???

I wanted to make caramel apples but didn't have any cream or condensed milk, or evaporated milk.  All I had was 1% milk and an almost full container of caramel & chocolate coffee creamer.  You cannot do any kind of caramel with milk.....it just turns into sweetened scolded milk and doesn't thicken because there is not enough fat.

 BUT...  I figured that the creamer had enough fats in it that the caramel would thicken.  Right?  Well I thought I would try it.  I didn't want to waste all my expensive creamer though if it was a total bust so I cut the recipe down by 3/4.  It made just enough to make one apple with a few little caramel "log" pieces on the side to play with.  

I tasted the caramel...it was good....has Munchkin 1 try it and tell me what he thought it tasted like.  "Caramel" he said.  Awesome, so it taste like what it is supposed to be....So I taste it again but this time with me willingness.  It was not only good, I think it was better with the coffee creamer than with regular cream!!  It added a depth to the flavor and was wonderful!! 

So now I am waiting on my hubby to get home to cut the apple and try it all together for the final decision but as of right now....it has a good chance.

Weirder Than Marshmallows Book Review

I was selected to review Weirder Than Marshmallows by Dan Fogg and was surprised.  Keep reading for my review.

I have to start by saying that this book was not what I thought it would be.  It knew it was supposed to be funny but was expecting it to be more jokes and less real life.  But I wasn't really exactly sure what to expect.

This book was amusing and so very true.  I found myself relating to many of the essays in this book.  Especially on that was about elections.  I thought that was had perfect timing.  I found it interesting that many of my own rants were in the book.  Made me feel like maybe I was not as crazy as I thought!

The book contains 5 chapters:

Do Not Stop on Tracks

En Masse

Technology Sucks

That’s Just Freaky

Weird Stuff

The first chapter immediately catches your attention and makes you keep reading out of pure anticipation of what will be said next.  Brilliant!

I love how they describe the book and how the title got it's name.  "I could rant about marshmallows forever.  But this book isn’t about marshmallows, this book is about stories.  Stories, that are, like marshmallows, strange, mind boggling, but somehow appealing to the public at large.  Hard to explain, impossible to ignore."

I couldn't have captured the book or marshmallows any better!

I love Daniel Fogg's honesty throughout the book and how many of his points are things I have wondered about myself.  It is a well written book that begs to be read.

Make sure you buy your copy of Weirder than Marshmallows today.  This book would make a great gift or stocking stuffer!
