Eight-track mind again

[mrissa]

Sometimes it's a little weird living in here. I read the newspaper and see that Finnish 15-year-olds scored second-highest in the world in math, and I think, "Well, of course; it's Jatta Vaara's attempts to regroup after the end of Midnight Sun Rising." Do I really think that's what's factually going on? No. But I've gotten so used to working things into this fantasy series that it no longer particularly seems like work any more. There's permanently another track going, and occasionally I just have to stop and reiterate (just for sanity's sake) that none of these people are externally real.

On another note, will anything particularly bad happen to rum balls if you make them with the really strong rum?

They will be really strong rum balls. If your recipe is like mine, the alcohol is not cooked at all, so what you get out is what you put in. Depending on your point of view, then, this may be a good thing or a bad thing.

The rum is not cooked in mine, either. Somehow I have the feeling that most of the people who are getting holiday goodies from me are not all that averse to strong rum balls if they like rum balls at all, but I'll keep them clearly labeled and away from the littles.

The first time I bit into a rum ball, I expected it to be a normal truffle. Whoops and whee.

I don't think anything bad would happen. You just might not want to drive after eating them. :-)

I love the idea of alcoholic food.

Rum balls are just like Jell-o shots, only good.
