oh my god i ate so much. there's five types of dessert. i am a weak person
merry christmas my dudes
Soft caramels - 480g [ my own recipe will be published separately ; but caramels can be purchased too , not only made at home ]
White chocolate - 300g ( it depends on the type of chocolate, in their melted state, some are runnier , some are thicker . If it is runnier, you will need less chocolate. )
Decorating:
Caramel flakes
Sugar paste
Coconut
Decorating is completely optional.
Boil some water in a pot on medium-low heat and put the bowl with the chocolate on top of it. Keep stirring until all the chocolate melted.
Add the caramels one by one into the chocolate , then use two forks to pick them up , allowing the extra chocolate to drip down the fork’s tines. Place them on wax paper.
Decorate them how you like. I kept mine very simple.
Set them aside to harden and cool , if necessary , refrigerate them.
Cut off the edges in order to give them a better shape.
And there you have it ! The easiest and most delicious treat you could have ever made at home!
fanfiction things that shouldn’t exist: Harry befriending Bellatrix Lestrange
it makes no logical sense
Re-watching Poldark season 1 and I can’t believe Ross blamed Demelza for what Francis did to him and his company. What, so because he didn’t approve of Verity’s lover boy, he got to ruin two families, Ross’ business and possibly his marriage, but it’s Demelza’s fault for being a supportive friend? Excuse you, but no. If Francis thinks his “betrayed” feelings are more important than people’s literal lives and means of supporting themselves, then he’s an asshole and he can go die in a ditch.
Also, Ross is a jerk to Demelza, like, 87% of the time.
Dear Netflix, why do you care if I use VPN? I’m still paying for it. I just want to watch Poldark in peace.
is there anyone out there that takes alison weir seriously? alison weir is the alison weir of history, and that's never a good thing.
Tudor Book Recs; 2016 edition
so i definitely did not get as much tudor reading as i would have lived over all this year, but i decided i’d post some 2016 publications that may have gone a little under the radar, most of these i haven’t read but i hope to do so
Prince Arthur: The Tudor King Who Never was by Sean Cunningham: this one i did read, and i really liked it, as we all know arthur had a very short life and we really don’t know that much about it, mostly this book is discussing what arthur’s life and duty as prince of wales was like
The Temptation of Elizabeth Tudor by Elizabeth Norton: if you don’t hate thomas seymour by now you really will after this, this book goes into detail about the events of the summer of 1547/48 and how they would affect elizabeth for the rest of her life
The Rise of the Tudors by Chris Skidmore: this is a 2013 publication but i really, really liked it so i’m going to fit it in here, the best account i’ve read on henry vii’s rise to the throne, it explained henry’s ancestry and family background very well and gave the best portrait of henry as a young man
Henry VII: The Maligned King: i haven’t read this one but there are so few bios on henry vii that as soon as i can get my hands on it i will
The Lives of Tudor Women: elizabeth norton is probably my favourite tudor historian right now so i will recommend all of her books, she does her research she knows her stuff
Elizabeth: The Forgotten Years by John Guy: i doubt i’ll like this as much as lisa hilton’s biography of elizabeth but i also aim to read every elizabeth bio so i’ll go for it soon
So Great a Prince by Lauren Johnson: most bios on henry viii begin in the mid 1520′s when he meets anne boleyn, but henry had been king for over 15 years by then, the 1510′s are often an overlooked period of tudor history, mostly because everyone wants to get to 1525 and forgets that england was a very different place in the early years of henry viii’s reign
The Other Tudor Princess by Mary McGrigor: you may have noticed that alison weir’s book on margaret douglas is not here and i’m keeping it that way and given you another book on margaret douglas written by scottish historian mary mcgrigor and i haven’t read but i’m sure it’s better
Katherine Howard: The Tragic Story of Henry VIII’s Fifth Queen: now i am cautious recommending any book on katherine howard because there is so much trash out there and i’m doing this cautiously as well because i have not read this work yet i have my sources that it’s pretty good so i’m hoping it’s true
