Me, a person who hates working with chocolate, has volunteered to make truffles for work this week in my ongoing holiday baking fest.
Please keep me in your thoughts as I attempt to tackle making the raspberry, peanut butter, and espresso truffles solo for the first time ever. My mom told me she was passing on them this year because I wasn't there to get drunk with her while making them.
Definitely going to be busting out the booze this evening.
IN THE MEAN TIME - I only have one more scene to write for the next chapter of D-Day so that'll be posted in the next 24 hours (hopefully). While driving around buying baking supplies, I was brainstorming for 'tis the damn season, and figuring out how to add more angst, so that'll be my next priority.

I don't think there's anything that discourages a child's interest in learning to sew more than these 'learn to sew' kits. Because, like, you tell a kid that you got them something that's going to teach them how to make a stuffed cat, and they're imagining a stuffed cat like one that they probably already own, like so:
And they're not stupid, they know that their first project is not going to be that good, but then they actually open up the kit and start assembling it and it's not even trying to teach them to be good at it, it's clearly skipping things and cutting corners, and what they actually end up with is a fugly doll-lookin' thing with the seams on the outside and no shape to it. What are they supposed to take away from that? That if they pursue this hobby they can make dumb ugly stupid stuff whenever they want? Not to mention the fact that these kits almost always use felt, so the finished product just isn't going to last, like, at all.
Just. Just teach them to turn the seam and make a basic triangular head. It's not that hard. And by refusing to teach it right off the bat you're teaching kids that it's too hard and they actually can't succeed at it, thus driving them away from the art forever.

I know bon appetit sucked but I do miss it largely bc any time Brad leone and Claire saffitz were on screen at the same time my brain would stop functioning and play hold music as I contemplated the kind of sandwich they could make if I was in that kitchen
