Yes, technically this is a spoiler: I did finally succeed. But it's the journey, not the destination, that matters.
Yeesh, this week has been rough. I planned on making caramels for the boyfriend's families, and you all know how that went down. Then I decided on toffee, which I was promised could be "super easy," and lemon bars, which I've made a few times and had few problems with (jest you wait, 'enry 'iggins). Now it's the day before my birthday, and we're leaving for the States in 3 days, and today was my last chance to get the gifts to the bf's dad, so things have been escalating for a while. And the end result is that I'm exhausted, so I'll let the photos and captions speak for themselves.
It's a long-un, so just jump to continue.
