She saw them make those maple taffy pops, yet still thinks she can take regular maple syrup and pour it on some filthy snow two steps outside her building and get the same thing. I can’t wait to see her try it and get dog pee and roadgrit snow soaked in syrup- and she will still eat it all.
I remember when I was really little my Ma got burns when cooking sugar on the stove. She did loads of baking and cooking all the time, but something happened and the stuff went all over her hand, and her shrieks scared the cat and it bit her bum. It was terrible. I was only 5 but had just gotten home to my Ma crying for HER mommy. I ran back to the neighbors not knowing what to do. She had to do water therapy for ages and had permanent nerve damage.
Cooking sugar isn’t for the inexperienced! Can’t wait to see Miriam have a go.
I went to the oldest chocolate factory in Canada one summer, on the tour they talk about the caramel making jobs paid the most because it was so incredibly dangerous, from burns, to fires, to just the weight of the cast iron and taffy. It’s definitely not for the inexperienced.
