caramel fleur de sel
results: FAIL
aftermath(after-mess): EPIC
time: WASTED
macaron-making is a breeze next to this epic fail. and let's not start with the sheer cost of fleur de sel(10 bucks for 5 ounces), thankfully lazy bones didn't feel up to the journey to seah st so i used ordinary sea salt instead.
i managed to kill my mom's spatula, it melted while i was stirring the sugar into an even caramel. had to start over cuz bits of spatula was swimming around my caramel, and last i checked plastic isn't ingest able.
and why didn't nobody mention that using an immersion blender is like a sprinkler on a lawn??! my caramel splattered over every inch of surface in my kitchen. even my face wasn't spared.
gave up after the 3rd mopping, the floor remains resolutely sticky.
it was nothing short of a disaster.
Lesson am i taking from today's destruction:
New found respect for caramel makers.
