Buckeyes!

Thanks to online and email-submitted recipes, I was able to make a batch of buckeyes this week. The Brits went nuts (sorry, no pun intended!) for the candy, since there is no candy here that has a chocolate and peanut butter combination. The sad thing was, since there are no buckeyes here, it takes about 10 minutes to describe the candy and the nut itself. Now they are in high demand. I will need to get U.S. peanut butter when I am home - the British version isn't quite the same.

In the other row house news, the entire household went to a dinner last night, hosted by a couple who work for hedgehog rescue. The currently have only one hedgehog, Nipper, who they found on the side of the road and weighs just eight ounces. Very cute and prickly.

Monday it's off to Edinburgh for a week's worth of classes!
