Here's my own Chocolate Salted Caramel Tart. Not very glamorous looking but boy was it good!
I decided to forego the use of a candy thermometer after reading several comments about making caramel and instead spent the whole time watching the white bubbly stuff turn blonde and then finally a rich amber color. I whipped it off the heat and stirred in my butter and cream, stirring, stirring, until it was smooth and gorgeous! I think I could have eaten the caramel itself it was so good! Definitely a keeper recipe now that I've got the caramel down!
We have roadwork going on the main route out of our small rural town. I was reminded of this on my way to see my mother early this morning. Had a bit of a wait and so to avoid another wait on the way home I took a secondary route. It's a bit longer but the views are just as beautiful. The road is very curvy and treks through cornfields and meadows and under dense tree coverings. I wish I took this route more often and probably will once Fall settles into its colors. It was so beautiful today. The weather this morning really felt like that perfect Fall day and made me want to go apple picking! This was part of my view on my way home today.
This is what it looked like further up the stretch around the bend late November last fall!
The Hydrangeas are starting to fade and so I've got some drying to use for this years decorations. I think these will end up in a wreath for the front door. Love me some dried hydrangeas!
How are you decorating this year? Do you get good Fall scenery where you are?
