The "I just made..." thread.

Woodworking, food, code, robots, horrifying metal works, fluorine gas, whatever you just made yourself, post it here.

I just made my own Dubai Chocolate bars. Needs a little more sugar and maybe a touch of rosewater, but it's waaaay cheaper than buying them.

I made a mess.

Nice! I need to do a better job with the phyllo, it's very poorly chopped. This was my first time making Dubai chocolate, tempering chocolate, and working with phyllo, so I set the bar low. lol

My chocolate is too thick for my liking, I just want a hint of it, but I was worried I wouldn't put enough down and overdid it.

This is a dish I make regularly. It's sort of a combination German Cottage Cheese Cake and pflaumenkuchen.

Yesterday I made cookies and roasted marshmallows over a fire in the garden with my three eldest girls and wife

@biostud - I don't cook, bake, any thing of the sort but I used to like charcoal grilling. I can't really imagine how you bake cookies over an open fire. I guess some variation in the cooking temps isn't really a problem. Interesting.

edit - anyway, it sounds completely adorable. I would normally say "it sounds darling" but I don't think that word is ever coming back. Such a shame too.

If you add some coconut oil to the chocolate, it will thin it out a bit to make it more pourable & then help it set faster in the fridge.

They sell Knafeh on Amazon, which is pre-shredded phyllo dough. They even sell it roasted if you don't want to do it yourself!

The cookies were made in the oven. We would say it was "hyggeligt"

my three eldest girls

There's a fourth now?

 

[sdifox]

There's a fourth now?

And he didn't make that one.

 

[igor_kavinski]

And he didn't make that one.

Careful. He's into tanks

 

[biostud]

And he didn't make that one.

Exactly, I merely contributed a little bit of DNA.

 

[biostud]

There's a fourth now?

Yeah, she's 4 months. So, 7, 6, 4 and 0

 

[igor_kavinski]

Yeah, she's 4 months.

I doubt he made those cookies over an open fire, it was the marshmallows.

How is that different for the first three?

Pretend I already made the dirty rice and cornbread I am going to make in about an hour.

It isn't, I didn't argue that I made any of them. I just made cookies, a fire and roasted marshmallows

My hope is that it will make pictures of mineral samples pop a little more. We'll see. Fun to make even if it won't work.
