My fingers tingled in anticipation as I unscrewed the simple jar Michael Winnike of Happy Goat Caramel gifted me at the Fancy Food show.
I squeeled as the thick, gooey caramel formed a sweet peak on the lid upon separation. It was waiting to be sensuously licked off by an adoring fan. Who was I to say no?
Rich, succulent caramel perfectly crafted to be eaten so many ways. My love affair has only begun with this sweet caramel.
At first, my fingers would only share with my tongue. Slow indulgence was a task I needed to master, for quick was I to lick it all in one swipe.
The lavender rosemary Secret Stash Salt decided to join us for the caramel lovemaking. A gorgeous swipe of caramel with my finger, then a sprinkle of lavender rosemary before both delicacies met my tongue.

It’s been a long summer and I’m ready to warm up and cuddle beneath the chilly sky, nudge my cold nose against a mug filled with steamy hot cocoa and have someone kiss the whipped cream off my lips after my first sip. You know that feeling? I had a notion that Blair’s cooking would be somewhat similar to that feeling. That being said, I was deeply looking forward to the moments awaiting us.
