So pissed at the soon-to-be 13yr old. The week before Thanksgiving I made chocolate covered drunk cherries (used cherries from the 151 I infused). Thanksgiving weekend the family worked together to make regular chocolate covered cherries. Both drunk & regular cherries are meant to be Christmas gifts, everyone was aware of it. The wife goes to the fridge today & finds 10 out of 40 regular cherries are left & is heartbroken because it's the first time in 5yrs that she has made cherries for her side of the family. 18yr old son admits to having one without asking because he wanted a taste. The soon-to-be 13yr old ate the rest. My wife is devestated because we worked so hard to get them created & her tweaked recipe requires 30 days of rest hence the reason we do it Thanksgiving weekend. So I do a count of my drunk cherries, I had 42 (was going to give 21 to the In-laws & 21 to my family) there were 26 in the bag today. The 18yr old admitted to having one without asking because, again, he was curious about the taste. I asked the soon-to-be 13yr old & she lied to me (this is after her mom bawled & yelled at her) & said she didn't have any. My wife ended up getting the truth that the soon-to-be 13yr old had eaten my cherries, "but only the chocolate because I know I'm not supposed to have alcohol." Are you fecking kidding me?!?!
I'm a good husband, I looked at the regular recipe for chocolate covered cherries & figured out they only really need 1 week of rest. The 18yr old & I trudged through the ice to the store & picked up replacement items needed along with stuff for other goodies. He took care of wrapping the cherries in the fondant I made & gave them their first dip in chocolate while I made rum balls & made the innards for truffles. Universe help our daughter, I am SO pissed at her, if she even THINKS about getting into the new goodies.
Now I need to go dip cherries a second time & dip the truffles a first.
