The last thing on the list was to get the chocolate covered strawberries. Instead of buying the expensive pre-made strawberries my maid of honour and I have decided to purchase the raw supplies and make them ourselves. That was an experience in patience that we failed miserably at. I still think we were sabotaged by some chocolate covered strawberry hater. We had directions; we followed them, and NOTHING WENT RIGHT.
I think the only thing that did go well is that although we were pretty frustrated we had a lot of fun and I learned a lot about the way chocolate likes to be handled. Our first major issue was that we could not get the chocolate to melt, it clumped, it gooed, but it never quite melted. In our infinite wisdom we decided to dump it in a bowl and microwave the HELL out of it. Not such a great plan, we ended up with a burned nasty watery chocolate mess.
MS. DANCER AND MY FAILED ATTEMPT TO MELT THE CHOCOLATE
Thank god my fiancé is not just any normal man he has superhuman powers like a knack for fixing his woman’s very obvious shortcomings and prevent temper tantrums with his chocolate melting skill. Sometimes this although fixing the problems makes me so frustrated but I guess that is the beauty about being in a couple he can fill in the holes that I have.
MR. ROGUE TO THE RESCUE
Once he had the chocolate right the rest was easy to do and we ended up with wonderful beautiful chocolate covered strawberries. YUM.
THE FINISHED PRODUCT
