Adventures in feast preparation
Jan. 20th, 2011 06:02 amI'm blaming last night's depression on the cold I seem to have picked up. I'm up early due to an inability to breath. Oh, and also stress.
Last night, despite my body/brain screaming at me to just sit on the couch, I attempted to make a wine syrup for Hippocras. On reflecting, Pleyn Delit clearly told me not to cook the spices in the wine, but I did it anyway.
They're right. When you cook the spices "a peculiar viscosity results". This morning I think I can face throwing out the wine sugar and spice mess.
