The Saga of the Truffles: Part 2

So, this is one of the truffles I entered in the competition. This somewhat pitiable truffle was the result of much travail and stress and general unease. You see, I had made several batches of truffles - all of which had tempered chocolate - and most of them turned out splendidly. They were marvelous. Marvelous, I tell you.

The Saga of the Truffles: Part 1

Hi there. Long time, no see. How are you? Doing well, I hope? 

It's been a while. And by a while, I mean a few days. And I don't know about you, but these last few days have been crazy. Insane, actually. Off the hook. I've been given a job, I've been doing many a church-related thing, and we've been having a nasty bout of teething-related, uh, unsettling gastro-intestinal disruptions. And by "we" I mean a certain smallish, excessively smoochable blond fellow. I have done so much laundry, people. SO. MUCH. 

So yes, we've been busy. But you know what else I've been doing?
