Happy Birthday West!



It was West's birthday last Friday and I wanted to make him a special treat. West doesn't really like cake, he'd much rather have brownies and those aren't really that special (especially because most of the time he makes them himself!) so I was trying to come up with an idea.

I was at the grocery store and strawberries were on a pretty good deal and then back at the bakery they we trying to sell these bricks of chocolate. The idea came to me, CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES! Now, I haven't ever met anyone who didn't like these so I thought for sure West would think they were great! I bought all the stuff and went home. I was very excited because I got to finally use the double boiler West bought me with my pan set over a year ago AND, I was going to learn to temper chocolate. They turned out great (they were actually pretty easy) and West loved them!

Ok, so I did not check my spelling... It is supposed to say, "Why oh why, but as you can see, I still need to look at my fingers while I type rather than read the words as I am typing. Retarded, I know.
