The Best Chocolate Syrup of Your Life.


... for your never-ending chocolate craving.

3/4 cup cocoa
1 cup water
1/8 tsp salt
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla


Whisk together the water, salt, and cocoa powder in a small saucepan and heat over low to medium heat. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Boil for three minutes and stir frequently. Be sure to watch the temperature - if it looks like it is about to boil over, it probably will boil over. (Totally not speaking from experience on that one..) Mix in the vanilla and let cool for 5 minutes. Pour into a clean glass jar and refrigerate.

This syrup will last for several months, and is the most delicious chocolate syrup ever. 1570902x better than Hershey's. You also did not hear from me that I am awfully biased against Hershey's cop-out chocolate products.

Ehem.

So. I have been slacking on getting my scans together, but I wanted to share what I have been working on as far as screen printing goes. My second project after the polar bear portrait was six monotypes about "Absurdities in Life." These revolved around my experiences in Bloomington so far.  At some points, I wanted to take back all the wonderful things I said about the place previously, but I won't.  I had a really silly time with the series, and it definitely shows with the final prints.

I am currently exploring poster art and am in the middle of an 8 layer print.


'Sexy molasses lady' is all I can say about that.
