This is how fresh cooked licorice looks like.

good luck w/ that:lol3 don't think licorice and hiking in Hot weather really go together, especially after you've eaten it....:uhoh

:agree with Daniel. Do you know that licorice is good for? ...well, just look at photo #2 and I think you'll know what I'm getting at. One of the nuns in the St. Joseph's Hospital brought me a bag of licorice when I was a guest many years ago! :D

Woow DanielB, Saurora :huh what's this? Licorice not popular at dgrin? :scratch I could live on licorice! It's awesome.

Adrian, cool pictures, I had never seen licorice this fresh before. Did you make a new setup? or is it a new kind of licorice you are making? If you ever need a designated licorice taster, let me know :D

:binge = :wow = :flushHehehe, fair enough. In my case it's anytime, anyplace :D But i must say that most americans i met when i lived there weren't very fond of licorice... I met a few who didn't even know what it was :scratch

In my youth I always thought it would be great to "go underground" and find out how things come into existence. I never tried to do anything with it, but along came the books like "how things work" to explain it all anyway.

For example, what's under the manhole covers, how to change a traffic light bulb, etc.

So when I say your series of photos, I was particularly fascinated. Can you do one on your lollipops too?

Adrian, am I safe in saying this thread hasn't gone in the direction you expected? :lol3

I like the tension of the lines cutting diagonally in your last shot.

Yes, we decided to buy another pump and apply some cooling before we extrude. Yes, we always are looking for tasters. Drop me an email :wink

Mmmm... looks tasty. Be careful making offers like that - you may have more tasters than you can handle (me included :lust ).

As for the photography - the last one of it all laid out looks pretty cool. Nice lines with just a bit of curve.

I always wanna exactly how things work. So many times I ask people at work to explain what and how they do things.
Sure I can do one on the lollipops and the toffee making too. Soon available!

Good to meet you here again. You won't get it that fresh at the shootout, but fresh enough to eat as much as you like. :rofl :rofl

No, I'm not going to make the shootout :cry I'm hopefully going to have another back surgery here soon so I'll be down and out for quite a while after that.

So now I'll not only miss the shootout but also the candy blowout. Oh well, hopefully next year.

[portellimagery]

How about the offical candy of dgrin, since not every one is going on the shootout?

Great suggestion, but I think that might empty his entire inventory. :lol3

Any offers? :D Or dgrin challenge winners get rewarded with some nice candies :clap

[Adrian van Ammers]

I saw on TV: with a hidden camera they hired some new employes for a few hours. They had to order fresh rolls by fax and they cam out of the fax. Some girls really believed that: o my, you can order fresh rolls by fax now.
So what about a candy forum?:rofl :rofl Candy all over the place and coming out of your PC. :D

Yo Andy, did you see this? And how about for Challenge moderators too?
