"Fudge" Popsicles

Further adventures in Popsicle making... This time we have CHOCOLATE!. I think I used too little chocolate because my Fudgesicles came out weird and cracked looking. I also think my chocolate chips were not real chocolate. They refused to melt properly in my double boiler. Sometimes I really wonder what I am doing making these Popsicles. I am making them in a very anti-intuitive fashion. I never would imagine HEATING ingredients to make Popsicles. Because... I am going to freeze them... and it takes longer for hot things to cool down. So maybe my mistake was pre-making the hot part of the batter before hand. On taste, it was very sweet and milky, and you could almost taste the caloric overload explosion in your mouth. At 140 calories each, their taste was just not worth it. Never again.

Buttered Popcorn Popsicles

What was I thinking? Why did I ever think that butter and popcorn flavored Popsicles could be good? I really have no clue. But it happened. I actually made these monstrosities. Biting into them, they had  the flavor of salt and fat women trying for weight loss. I could literally not pallet more than one bite... Never make buttered popcorn flavored popsicles. Just don't do it.

I also tried to make a carmel sauce, but it ended up just being burnt candy bits. It tasted good but was in no way smooth enough to get onto these Popsicle without melting them.

I won't give y'all the recipe, because trying this is cruelty to ones mouth.

Curried Mac Bake

So as anyone who cooks often knows, the way you learn is by making mistakes and experimenting. Today for lunch I experienced failure in more than one way.

My friend Nate was suppose to come over this afternoon, and being too poor to go out I decided to make lunch for when he was here. My Aunt had given me a Mac&Cheese cookbook for Christmas, and last night while looking through it I had found a recipe for 'Curried Mac Bake' being a fan of curry I decided to make it.
My first mistake was using honey-wheat bread instead of the called for sourdough to make a topping. My second was burning the topping.

In the end my curry tasted like burned bread and had a aftertaste of burned bread and curry which just did not taste good (I could barely finish a bowl for myself and I did not want to not eat any of it and waste a box of mac and cheese)

The other failure was that Nate had my address wrong and ended up a few miles away knocking on some other apartments door to be greeted by a large black man who did not know who 'JoDee' was. Poor Nate, at least he did not have to eat this terrible food >.<
