Agreed! It's just that in your photo, it looked like a bloody great
piece of liver.

Hell yes, I'm on board! I use that between layers of my chocolate cake. Though I will add a teaspoon of vanilla most of the time.

I was gonna make mocha by adding instant espresso to the boiling cream. Works really well! I'd love to experiment with cannabis oil!! I may move to Portland OR and try to get into that in retirement!:-)

So what have you planned for that heap?

I'd do bark, or chawklit covered ****tachio halavah bonbons.

Halavah

1 can sesame tahani
2 egg whites beat into stiff peaks
1 cup sliced almonds or unsalted pistachios

2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla crystals or 2 tsp vanilla

Boil syrup ingredients until very thick, about 15 to 20 minutes
(hard ball stage). Cool slightly before using. With an electric
mixer, beat sesame tahini until smooth and creamy and the oil is
completely absorbed. Gently fold in egg whites. Mixture will get
stiff and pull away from bowl.

Slowly add 3/4 cup syrup. Fold in the nuts, then stir in the
remaining cup of syrup a little at a time. Tranfer mixture to a
loaf pan. Cover and refrigerate for 3 days before unmolding. Will
keep for 6 months in refrigerator.
