Who wants cotton-candy?

[beelikej]

Oh, if only I had taken a 'before' picture of the hole in my kitchen wall that the lid of my garbage-can put there after I opened it too enthusiastically. Then I could now boast with an 'after' shot showing how beautifully I filled it up and painted over it so you can't see it ever happened at all. I was so happy I saved all my old wall paint since I moved in here all these years ago, no need to mix colours to get the perfect cover.
I did take photos of a fun addition to my kitchen appliances: I bought a cotton-candy machine!!



WHAT'S IN THE BOX??


Ooooh, a puzzle, I love puzzles! Only four pieces, so that was easy:)


First you turn the machine on to heat it up; that wheel is spinning, so when it's hot you then have to turn it off to add a spoon of sugar;)
When you turn it on again, it takes only seconds for the cotton candy to happen: MAGIC!


It's a lot harder than those carnaval people make it look, my first effort was laughable.
But it's also a lot of fun and I'm quite proud of my second try:) It may look like a joke, but it tasted just like the real thing, so there :-p

SIZE DOESN'T MATTER, OKAY?

so SUPER FUCKING WEIRD!!!! I clicked on the instagram link (cause I wanted to laugh at you of course) and I SMELLED COTTON CANDY!!!!!!

I kid you not, but it turned out it was a toasted english muffin that my wife just put strawberry jelly on. Completely freaked me out.

LOL....in other news I'm so jealous, cotton candy is one of my favorite things, I would be doing that for hours until I made myself sick or slipped into some kind of sugar coma.

Heehee! Wouldn't it be awesome if the internet worked like that? *stares longingly at icon*

Now I want a muffin with jelly, heh.

I obviously need a lot of practice, so that will be my excuse for the sugar overdose;)

Thank you! I can't believe how perfectly I got that hole fixed:)

SIZE DOESN'T MATTER, SOMER!!

That Suikerspin was made with one scoop of sugar, which is all the machine can handle in one go. I suppose I could try to make it bigger in a couple of sessions. But I first need to learn how to make one without wobbling all over the place. Oh well, I guess I should practice A LOT;)

SIZE DOES MATTER! JUST ASK JENSEN :P lol

Yes, yes. Practice and then make a huuuuuuge one. As big as you can manage and then post a pic :D
