(with a side of a lactose pill so I could enjoy it and not pay for it too bad later)

On a side note... we make our own caramel, and its the most amazingly simple recipe I have ever seen.

Place a can of sweetened condensed milk in a large pan of water on top of a rack so its not touching the bottom. Keep at a low boil for 6 hours, adding water as needed so the can is always covered... open, and enjoy...

Hi Jenn,

I saw your post about the bullying and am really glad that you are confronting the oppressive system that allows that to happen. Great job! Definitely worthy of many ice cream rewards. I hope that your son is doing ok too, it is never fun to be bullied. It can be so confusing for kids.

Ok I can seriously NOT make caramel. I will have a teenager bouncing off the walls for days. She will suddenly start sneaking in cans of sweetened condensed milk. She will pretend to go to SAT study classes but will secretly be making caramel with her friends in someone's backyard. I see the writing on the wall, the red flags are not going to get by me this time. We had a 1950's themed party at work this summer and I brought home bags of candy and 50's style snacks like Twinkies that were intended to be fun fluff decorative items for the dessert buffet...omg huge mistake. Sugar high kid.

Ok maybe I will make caramel for Christmas.

Maybe
