It has finally happened, the flu is gone! After 2 agonizing weeks of being in bed I am now fully functional and able to work. To test this theory I thought I would bake. Since Christmas is coming and it's the time for treats I thought I would make Fudge, Truffles, Rice Krispie Squares and muffins. Averi was more than happy to help. I would pour ingredients while Averi "stirred" the bowl. What she actually did was closer to dip and lick. That became her bowl.
The Truffles were a little harder to do with "help" as I have never done them before. I didn't know you had to do one recipe at a time in order for the chocolate to set. Then it was too sticky to roll, then it was midnight and I had to go to bed before things got out of control. I would deal with it all tomorrow. Well, tomorrow came and Averi had to help me some more, by now she knows that help means treats for her :) We were dipping the truffles and putting on sprinkles but as I put them on she was eating them.
We had a wonderful day baking together and look forward to doing it again, but next time I'm going to teach her that cleanup is part of the whole process. I had chocolate from one end of my kitchen to the other and all of it at knees height so I know it wasn't from me.
