Our weekend, rather 'cooking weekend', started off with finding a creative way to use the carmel that didn't quite come our 'right'. Julie made a couple of batches that didn't sit-up right for making carmels... BUT it did make for some GREAT caramel SAUCE! She is so creative - she made a Caramel-Apple Layer Cake with Caramel Icing! Hmmm, yumm-o!

We finished our Candy production, and the Truffle-a-thon has officially ended!!

Here Julie is sorting and boxing... on the right, julie put together a platter for a baby shower, for our good friend Lauren... The platter looked like a blue-hannakah candy, regardless of what I saw, It was again a very cool expression of Julies creativity!

Here are the Truffles in Completion... We went for a theme... The Caramels got City names... and the rest... based on our love for travel, and europe... gave them country themes... The are in the long line of Sandy Christman's Candy recipes... I say long line because some of the recipes go back 4 generations.
.... Venice (Cali): Decadent Caramel (sea-salt top)
.... St.Louis: Chocolate Covered Caramel
... Italian: Bicerin Nut Truffle
... Netherlands: Oranje Truffle
...Belgium: Almon- Amaretto Truffle
... France: Raspberry Beret Truffle
...
Yesterday in our Sunday Service, we paused to recognize Advent, and per Shalom's request we had the youngest light the candles; Green for Growth, Red for the Blood of our Savior, and Gold for our King...
... Here is Zion doing the duty
... and Liam very focused...
