Solarium progress

So, the solarium is showing some progress for cool weather crops. Potatoes continue to grow. Now I see spinach sprouting in larger numbers. Very slowly, though.

My last two batches of fudge set properly, not hard but set enough to cut, the way fudge should be.

My next batch I'm going all out. Chocolate, espresso, bourbon, pecan fudge. Think that should come out really good. Work on that tonight plus coconut candy. Most I can do in one night is two batches of candy because it takes so long and I do have limited equipment suitable for the purpose. I think after tonight I can get things in the mail which have to be shipped. Then I can take my time for more local presents. I have 8 more days. 

Happy to say I'm getting better at this candy making thing. Wasn't sure I would ever quite get it right. Had a couple of failures last year. Had more patience this year. Absolutely crucial to follow instructions on this one until you get a feel for it. Overheat or mix too much it turns hard. Under heat or mix too little and it burns or doesn't set properly. Definitely an art form.

I love art you can eat!
