Molasses

I finally did it!

In preparation for the big storm over this past weekend, I decided to make some molasses flavored fudge and, lucky me, it didn't turn out a terrible mess. I still have some by my desk which is perfuming my work area with it's lovely aroma.

As usual, I'm working on new art that isn't set for public viewing yet: a couple of different comic projects. I've designed a cute new pair of fingerless mitts that I need to write up the pattern for and get test knit.

Here's something I will show, a Scottish Terrier I painted not too long ago:

Coincidentally, I've been thinking about baking a cake these past couple of days but I haven't done so. Too busy drawing comics :D

Here is a preview of a painting I finished for a book about robots. The book is grey-scaled so it won't have all the nice nuances of color that are in the original but I like it like that. It makes the original all the more special.

And here are my most recent pair of fingerless mitts I've knit. I LOVE this pattern. It's so simple which is why I love it. It will mix in well with the rest of my wardrobe. The pattern is called "Toasty" and can be found on the blog: A Friend to Knit With.

I want to let people know that my comics podcast is hosting a contest giving away a 3-day pass to New York Comic-Con this October to two lucky winners. It's really simple to enter and the prize is so cool. You can go here to find out how to enter.

I use vanilla extract to make the best treat ever: FUDGE. Now, I don't have a candy thermometer so I just "eye-ball" it. That works most of the time except when I tried to make molasses flavored fudge. My stove is really hot and it took no time at all for it to turn into a lump of rock hard candy, not chewy, creamy fudge. I do want to try making it again though. I still don't plan on buying a thermometer, but hopefully second time will be a charm.

"With my fist!"

(My guy and I keep quoting that line from Regular Show. It's too funny.)
