“Just because you fail once doesn't mean you're
gonna fail at everything.” - Marilyn Monroe
You might be wondering about the “fourth
attempt” addition to the title? On this blog, I don't only want to talk about
my successes, but also my failures, and this was definitely a failure. I adore
salted caramel sauce. It’s salty, sweet ,
and has a nutty essence, that works beautifully drizzled over a bowl of ice
cream. What I hate is
spending money on ingredients, getting half way through the recipe, only to
find out the recipe is bad or I made a
minor, “no-turning-back-now” mistake, and having to start over. In a 24 hour
period, I had attempted the sauce four times, and finally succeeded after
countless dirty pans, sticky counters, and disappointing scowls. Also,
the sugar, which had the consistency of concrete, then had to be scraped,
chiseled, and otherwise finagled out of the cookware.
