And they did all this just for you. Does David know about this? It looks like the kind of thing that tells you someone cares about you. And they did all this just for you.

At last that's what I think you are getting out of it. You are, aren't you? You're making my want to quit my job so I can spend more time in the kitchen. And start a blog. Blogging communities are the new newsgroups, aren't they? I might as well leap from Usenet to bloggin and skip that whole Yahoo group type stuff. I'm digressing. Judtih, I want to come over! Sugar with chilies must be divine. Well, I have to envy both David and Judith for having so much food and fun in the blogging world. At last that’s what I think you are getting out of it.

This is yummy sugar. It is no hotter on the tongue than the clove candies eg used to make. Cinnamon scented sugar threads might be a logical variation on this, no?

You are a goddess. Was the spun sugar hard to make? It seems like it would be easy to end up with just a big blog! Yours turned out beautiful and it's such an elegant touch.

Rachel it isn't at all hard to make, but it is a time to pay attention only to what you are doing. Get the syrup off the flame on time, lower the pan into cold water to stop the cooking, and then get the threads started asap. With a Silpat sheet, you can fling it around freely, but although I saw one chef recommend covering the floor with paper, I didn't get any syrup on the floor. There were some threads that finished on the countertop, but they weren't stuck and were usable. What got too cool stayed in the pan, but water overnight melted it all away. The next day the extra threads were softening already. I must look up how to preserve them, because I do not see me whipping sugar threads around the heads of guests, but I do see me making this for dessert! Thank you for all the nice comments!
