Truffles for church friends
Shell and I decided to save some money, time, energy and fridge space and made chocolate truffles as Christmas presents for church peeps. So we spent last week melting chocolate, mixing chocolate, eating chocolate...
Other than that, went to Parra to redeem my complimentary voucher at Max Brenner. I got any 2 picks of the pralines. Mmmm... I chose Dark choc with caramel and whiskey, and Praline with cornflakes and pepper. Unfortunately the whiskey praline melted partly on the way home (meeep) but both are now sitting safely in the fridge.
Oh and Shell and I had lunch at Tomoodachi, do not go there, $$$, I had a seafood okonomiyaki. For that amount of money, I'd rather have gone to a Ichiban boshi.
Recent purchases:
- TOL light blue and white strapless dress
- white singlet top from Giordano - was gonna wear under the dress but now... it seems I don't need to...
- Phil's Christmas present
So, we were planning on making chocolate moulds, but they didn't turn out right, so we made milk chocolate with the chocolate sprinkles on the bottom right. Peppermint creams which were just finished yesterday. And white chocolate and pistachio, and milk chocolate with peppermint crisp, both drizzled in 70% dark. Peppermint crisp truffles are really gooooood.
We had a good amount of truffles leftover so Shell popped an extra truffle in for Andrew (the orange box). Heeheehee.

You can definitely come visit lady. ;) I can probably keep a few truffles, but I can always make another batch ;)
