the currency for cats and dog line is from Talledega Nights, not the anchorman one. the Formula One driver says it about himself and his husband. It’s my favorite line and I never saw Ron Burgundy.

You get down on the get down on this site! I just made this in about 30 minutes and it is lovely!

I even used method 3 despite never making candy before.

Although I did drop some in ice water until it had the “crumbly” texture rather than relying strictly on color.

Your explanations were great.

You are beautiful.

[...] I did have was (1) a leftover can of pumpkin puree, (2) leftover toffee bits, (3) leftover dark brown sugar and (4) leftover vanilla. Ergo: Pumpkin-brown sugar-bourbon ice [...]

You are so right about the ease-to-adulation ratio with fancy candy. Back in university, I really wasn’t a cooking person, and I still made truffles and impressed the shit out of people. My mom is more of a cooking person than me, but she also has a balls-easy chocolate mousse recipe that involves fancy glassware just to make people think it took her longer than 10 minutes of actual work.

She might not appreciate my referring to it as “balls-easy,” though.

I’m still so offended (and tortured in my dreams- my horrible, horrible dreams) by that disgusting carrot penis that I just can’t muster any adulation.

Well, I AM a cooking person and I am way impressed with the toffee!

Although I am no longer afraid to make toffee, I am firmly stuck at method 1 for determining “done.” I’m impressed with your method 3 skills. And your pizza cutter scoring is inspired.

cyndi, do it. it's painfully easy. and scalable, so you can make a lot less. kate, it's from the unfortunately not-as-funny-as-anchorman "talladega nights." sasha baron-cohen is talking about how all he wants out of life is what any gay couple wants, "to retire to stockholm and develop a currency for dogs and cats to use." kristin, i could be persuaded to make a deal.
