Yes, I still love Dorie

As I said earlier, just because I've had to leave TWD officially, doesn't mean I won't still be making Dorie recipes on a regular basis. Like last night. When I made two.

Did you know that caramelizing sugar goes from light amber to burning, boiling black in an instant? And that burnt sugar smells lingers a very, very long time, traveling through the house.

However if you stand there and don't blink, you can catch the sugar just as it turns color, add the cream and make Dorie's Caramel Sauce. Which, when it cools, you can probably eat with a spoon.

I'm not saying this from experience. I just suspect it is true.


Surprisingly, after 4 pieces of Almost Fudge Gateau, with a side of ice cream and a generous dousing of caramel sauce, we still have half a jar of the sauce left.

No worries, I'm sure it won't last long. There is still half a gateau left. And still people around to eat it, other than me.

Caramel is an evil thing. Delicious, yes. Evil, yes. It bests me on a regular basis.
The gateau looks lovely!

Ah the almost fudge gateau was a tasty one. And caramel makes everything better.
