Be Mine



I made these for my work people. I had a few left over so I brought them over to the 26-year old's. He said "You made these?? Nooo... You MADE these??" I lapped up every second of glory of course.

(FYI for him I made him a pretty good dinner, if I may say so myself, so I think it was OK that I did not originally make the tuxedo strawberries for him.) (I made vongole bianco w/ linguini, seared peppered tuna with basil, fresh mozzarella, and tomato, seared scallops wrapped in bacon, and roasted vegetables.) (Did I tell you he eats leftovers with a HUGE grin on his face??)

At 12:05, he said, "It's officially Valentine's Day, so I guess we can exchange cards now."

... Um, WHAT?! Did you just say exchange cards??

Oh, maaaannn...

It was a sweet card. It included keys to his apartment. That's funny because I'm never over at his place. Hi grandmom.

And FYI, I got him a card the next chance I could. I attempted to redeemed myself with mad word count. My card, however, did not include keys... except those to my heart!!

Hee hee no it included no keys whatsoever. Lucky for me, apparently he kinda likes me anyway.

今度作り方教えて〜〜〜〜

素敵なバレンタインデーになったみたいだね。
カードの交換って日本には無い習慣だよね。
女の子が男の子にあげるだけだもんなあ。

割と簡単ながら喜ばれるのでお勧めだよ!難しいのはチョコレートのテンパリングだけ。私もまだ完ぺきにマスターしてないんだけど、温度調整を正しくすることによって、チョコに光沢が出るらしいよ。

クーベルチョコのダークとホワイトをテンパリングしたあと、

まずホワイトチョコにイチゴの一面をどっぷりつけて、乾かします。

チョコが乾いたら、イチゴの左右両面をダークチョコにつけます。ちょっと斜めにしながらね!これがタクシードの形になります。

最後につまようじにダークチョコをつけて、ボタンとボータイを書いたら、終了!

かんたーん☆
おいしーい!
たのしいよ♪
