I didn't cry

After I posted about the sour licorice in my 85 list, my brother said, why don't we try to make it!? Within an hour we had lined up an assistant to go to Surfas to get the citric acid and the sparkly sugar and when I got home that night, after the fourth batch of brownies was in the oven, we made licorice. I just kinda winged it as far as sugar to acid ratio and mixed it up and it tasted pretty delicious so I rolled them in there and tried it, still delicious. Then the next day holy sourballs. It was much sourer. Also it was a little foggy and damp so they didn't really dry right and I'm going to need to try this again, but fortunately the citric acid comes in a container you would be a real masochist to ever finish in a lifetime, so I can do a lot more testing. It's gonna be pretty great. If you want in on this action, please give me a hell yes.

HELLLS YES! Please make it shippable to the east coast. or save some for my next visit. And the fourth batch of brownies? Please tell me that was so everyone could take a big bite out of the middle with a spoon.

Employment has really dealt a blow to the blog. I, for one, am not pleased. Robin?

Somebody's gotta pay for this shit and Tucker hasn't proved as lucrative as I'd once hoped.

yes, I do need you to keep me in the lifestyle I have become accustomed to when I visit...Well fed and not grumpy. Plus, how will you be able to afford me as your personal assistant someday if you don't strike it really rich. Get back to the grind!
