I went to lunch with my friends Tina & Jaclyn, and since Tina and I are sushi buddies we went to Hiro’s in Petaluma, an amazing sushi restaurant. After lunch we walked across the street and found a little candy shop that had some crazy good caramels. It was there that I was introduced into the wonderful world of salted caramels. In this sad little county in which I live there is no where to get these so I’ve been deprived through 8 months of pregnancy cravings, until today. I spent days googeling looking for a caramel recipe that did not use corn syrup…I found 1, From chez Pim. I then preceded to walk into my kitchen and sans candy thermometer I made my very first batch of carmels. OH MY GOD. I wanted to call everybody I know and exclaim to the world how yummy these were. I’m beside myself with glee and I can’t stop running to the kitchen to nibble on them. Enough gushing…and back to the cooking.
