Production Report Day 3
The good news is that I dipped eight dozen beautful truffles and have high hopes of having even more success tomorrow. I lost about five hours to panic and redoing stuff I had already done right. Still, eight dozen beauties is a respectable day's work.
Tomorrow will be even better.

I can't picture you panicking unless it was hilarious. Are you still partially coated in chocolate?
not anymore. i had to do the japanese thing of showering before getting into the tub though. i was a chocolate mess. it wasn't until i was done with the day's work that i realized how much i had gotten done. i was too busy stressing about not being used to the new machine. if i go steady through tomorrow i am hoping to have a dozen or fourteen dozen dipped. we shall see. i have a beautiful blonde lady watching over me. if she sees me limping or wincing while moving around she calls "time out" and i listen to her. i still have that old boonie rat thing of just gutting through and pretending stuff doesn't hurt. she won't allow me to do that.
Good evening, Minstrel Boy.
It seems to me that you washed away a high value-added product.
Really. Think about it. Suppose you were to market the Ultimate Confection Treat: Minstrel Boy Truffle.
Seriously. Can you imagine the orders?
Sure, in another era, the Food and Drug Administration might have stepped in to demand some testing to ensure safety; but, hey, this is the 21st Century. And besides, it's not like you contain lead.
Wait a minute. Didn't you once mention that you were wounded in the service? If the round wasn't extracted, I suppose that means you do contain lead.
Nevertheless, I still think we have a definite market for Minstrel Boy Truffle.
This could work out to be the biggest thing since honey-coated sugar cubes.
The Dark Wraith needs to get started on the nation-wide marketing campaign.
DW,
That was funny. And I want one.
Any sort of new machine puts me into a panic until I can gain control of it.
I don't want to tell you about the mental image I have of your chocolate problem. ;)
i hate having to work with anything new. it feels awkward and chancy.
hope you can get your camera working.
Mornin' to ya chocolat au Minstrel Boy.
If I may make a suggestion, DW's great idea notwithstanding, perhaps Ammunition-shaped truffles sent to replace the actual stuff might be in order?
Naw, I didn't think it through all the way. The Pentagon would just make poison truffles, and then where would we be?
MB truffles. . .now there's a sweet idea. I promise you, I wouldn't run away from those mussed up hands (provided it was dark chocolate, 70% cocoa mass, mind.)
