Chocolate CHIPS do not exist in this country, because they have no need for them because their chocolate is so good that they could probably build houses out of it.
So, I had to personally make my own chocolate chips. 15 minutes, a bread knife, a chopping block, plus a strained thumb and forefinger, as well as one TEEENY little cut later the chocolate "chips" (more like chunks) were ready!
It is impossible to measure things here, so cooking has been quite interesting... ALTHOUGH, I am very impressed, and pleased to say, that I made a DELICIOUS apple pie crust on Friday evening WITHOUT MEASURING ANYTHING!
It went like this... "hmmm... that looks about right... GOOD. annnnnnnnd FINISHED!"
The heat is slightly different here too, so things tend to "brown" a little more... I still haven't figured out what is up with that. I am converting everything right.
okay... problem solved... they just look uncooked... but they aren't... they are actually cooked!
I ROCK! am cooking MACHINE!

Hi, Marion--isn't it a great joy to prepare (and eat!) something delicious? I'm so glad you're becoming such a great cook. Hopefully you didn't eat them all??? I'm confused--how can tomorrow (the 23d) be Christmas Eve? Love, M
because they celebrate things all funny here. they open presents on the 24th, so i'm counting tomorrow as the christmas eve of austria! :-)
Will you be with the Webers tomorrow so you can open our surprises?
I can see all the way down to your tonsils.... :)
homemade pie crust is stupid and aggravating, but homemade chocolate chips are wonderful. YUMM
