Metabolisms are Stupid

Today I was going to have my first vegan day, in which I eat no animal products whatsoever.

( TW for mention of weight loss )

So I'm telling myself that while I may feel free to make all of the MAIN meals vegan, I simply don't have enough snack food that is fattening and calorie-rich AND vegan to sustain me, and thus a full vegan day needs to wait for another time.

Hopefully I'll have prose up later, and possibly a Dinner Time post. For now though, going to do laundry and return to being a hermit on the internet.

Tschuess.

[Dinner Time] Butterscotch Sauce

So I'm not the biggest fan of alcohol. I don't like the taste, alcoholism runs in my family and I've had a couple of bad experience. But one thing I have always liked is some hot cocoa with butterscotch schnapps.

One day I was contemplating become a teatotaler, and realized that would mean no butterscotch schnapps. So I searched the internet...

Butterscotch Sauce.

And found this.

"Butterscotch is a thing?" I thought. "Like, a legit thing, not just a flavour?"



Indeed it is!

So. This butterscotch recipe is very easy to follow, includes pictures that are actually HELPFUL, and furthermore, is from what I can understand the original way to make butterscotch. It tastes just like the flavouring from the schnapps, and FAR better than your standard butterscotch ice cream topping from the store. I probably could have drank the whole bowl of it right then and there.

I will note, however, that I'm not sure how to keep it. I put in the fridge and that caused it to become rock solid. I reheat it when I need to use it, but then the sugar starts to caramelize further, and it gains a somewhat granular texture, even if the flavour is still okay. So I think a sealed, heatproof jar at room temperature may be your best bet.

Oh, and it tastes FANTASTIC in hot cocoa and ice cream.

10/10. Seriously. It's awesome.
