    Rave: I didn't just watch another episode of AHS: Coven, I finished all the episodes that have aired. Holy crap. I thought the first season was awesome. I thought the Asylum was good, but not as good. Coven? Holy rampaging chickens.

    Rant: January 8 is so far away. x.x

    Coven is for real some of the best television I've seen lately. I'm a little biased because I loved Charmed (until Shannen Doherty left), The Craft, all that. First season was decent but didn't grip me. Asylum was probably good but I didn't pay attention. Then I caught a few minutes of an episode of Coven where Precious ripped out a homeless guy's heart. Hooked. I love the whole premise of it, picking a horror theme and weaving together all the different tropes. It's done so well.

    @Daslin awesome man, proves that hard work pays off!
    Aurora says, "Tharvis, why are you always breaking things?!"
    Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh."
    Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."

    I haven't turned my computer on yet, and it's 5:32pm. Who woulda thought I'd ever rave about that.

    House is clean, Christmas tree is out up, chocolate mice made (thanks to lovely picture @jozlyn posted), potato candy made, and said candies packed up and wrapped for friends.

    Who needs money for Christmas? Psh.

    Had a break from the kids today. Awesome in-laws watched them for a few hours while hubby and I saw the new Hobbit movie. Totally can't wait for the next. Kids were good until we got there. Get to wake up early and do a load of laundry before going to my sister's and see our dad and have Christmas there.

    Thank you, @Yang, for the lovely Steam Christmas game gifts! I mean, you gifted me with Age of Empires II + III, Portal 2, Civ 5 Expansion Pack and Long live the Queen. I'm like. Going to be all over these games like a nutszo.

    ^__________^

    Merry Christmas to you too!

    I just researched it. It is either something similar to nougat, or it really is made from potato…This is just as mind boggling as that Halloween sweet called candy corn or cornbread or something.

    Candy corn is just sugar. Only relation to actual corn is that it's most likely made from corn syrup. Might be so named for being colored vaguely like Indian corn, though not sure about that.

    I thought it was named because it looks like corn kernels.

    The candy corn I'm familiar with is conical, so this wouldn't have occurred to me. Don't know if it comes in other shapes or not.

    Not that I've tasted it, but the candy corn I picture when I hear it mentioned is this:

    @Kuy so it really is potato! And peanut butter...just where in history did someone think to try that out as an idea? (Yes American snack concepts is a big culture shock to me)

    Haha! I really don't know. It's one of those things that my grandma taught mom who taught me.

    Yup, same here. I don't see a resemblance to corn kernels, personally.

    Haha. Potato candy is a family tradition!

    It's an old poor-man's recipe. You boil a potato until it's super soft, then let it cool. You mash it up really, really well, then mix a whole bunch of powered sugar with it (read: the whole bag). The sugar causes the potato to break down completely, leaving only a liquid behind. The starch from the potato binds the sugar into a dough. From there, you can do different things with it.

    We've always rolled the dough out, spread peanut butter on it, then rolled it up (like a a pumpkin roll) and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Put it in the fridge to harden for a little bit, and then you have a super sweet, super delicious, super cheap candy!

    And by cheap, I mean one potato and one bag of powdered sugar made enough candy for everyone at work, my parents and me, my mom's boyfriend's family, and my dad's family.

    Wow! I am going to try this! That'll save me on two paychecks worth of shopping next year :D

    I have undressed a god.

    Be right back, researching on sugar as an alternative fuel source.
