Pictures!
So, after seeing this post in food_porn, I had to try my hand at making butterscotch mac & cheese. I mena, how could I not? It sounded so weird that my curiosity demanded I try it.
I started off by measuring everything and setting up a mise en place, just so I could feel fancy:
Okay, so it was only three ingredients, but still. Mise en place! It's French and that makes it Fancy!
Then I made butterscotch, and was surprised by how easy it was:
I need to work on my technique, though. I think I cooked it too high, because it was definitely thicker and darker than it should have been.
It was delicious. I have to admit, I was rather surprised. I kind of expected it to be horrible. I actually took a lot of pictures, because I like to pretend I'm cool like The Pioneer Woman, and I posted them all here.
And while I'm posting pictures, springtime is pretty!
These are on the bushes by our mailboxes. I love how the little flowers contrast with the dark green leaves.
This is the tree outside my apartment. I'm a sucker for spring trees contrasting against bright blue skies. Also, fall trees against late afternoon skies.
I took this one from inside my car, with the camera pointing straight up from the dashboard. I parked under the tree specifically so I could take this picture. I'm not usually one for bright colors, but for trees I make exceptions.
