RE: CHOCOLATE COVERED CARAMELS - FOOD PHOTO SHOOT
Impressed! Caramels are hard to make. As you say it took you a few tries. That stuff gets dangerously hot. I'm glad you didn't use corn syrup, that stuff is so artificial. What did you use plain white sugar?
I try to always avoid corn syrup, however it is in nearly everything you buy at the grocery store. Thanks so much for the great comenting and I hope your travels are going well?
It makes me so sad. Probably 95% of our food in the states is tainted in way or another, and it's totally reflected in the health of our population. I like how you do all you can to keep the garbage out of what you make. One thing that hit me like a tone of bricks was eating some pineapple in the Florida last week after eating pineapple in Thailand for the past four months. The American pineapple tasted all watered down and flavorless. It's a real shame. I'm now in Ecuador, and pineapple tastes like pineapple once again. Sorry too much information, but after years of travel and returning home this stuff really makes me sad, upset, disappointed, confused. We have everything in the states except the most important thing.....clean food. I talk to people from Europe and other parts of the world about corn syrup....they say "What is that?" Again I commend you on doing all you can regarding healthy ingredients. Keep up the great work. -Dan
Dan, wow, amazing commenting as always, but this time you were fired up. Your statement "We have everything in the states except the most important thing.....clean food." is so true. I've really noticed a segment of the population since I have been back and it is very sad. It makes my Dad angry. It's all about money, it's a full circle between the food and medical industries. My Dad says it's fascism a.k.a corpratism.
You and your dad are spot on. The all mighty dollar comes before everything including out fellow citizen's health. It breeds an unhealthy society in various ways. Probably the primary reason I choose not to live in the US, but only to visit for short amounts of time. It's just too disappointing/upsetting for me at times. Especially when I just came from some poor country, with all thin healthy people, low crime, strong families, and no issues of depression and mental illness. So happy you and I have connected on here. Looking forward to meeting you at steemfest 3, whenever and wherever that is. The way things have been going for me, like you said, I'll have to go! Have a great day! -Dan
yup, you must go to the next steemfest. I don't know where it will be either, but I'd wager some where in the states.
Yeah, the depression thing is hard to understand really, especially after being in other countries as you say. There is a large amount that just would not survive in other countries. I've been dragged into walmart a couple of time and it is so sad.
Steemfest in the USA will certainly make it easy for us Americans. Looking forward to finding out where and when.

you are the first to offer me a nomination, believe it or not. That's actually what I was waiting for, a nomination. I met the two guys at steemfest, but I guess I didn't make a lasting impression
Sweet, like your food! Consider yourself nominated :)
