The oven.
You know where this is going.
Turns out, that even if you melt it a little - like say, long enough to preheat your oven to 375ºF - you can cool it (on the back porch where you should have left in the first place, like you do every year) and it turns into toffee again! WAHOO! Except, if you are not regular about cleaning your oven (which I am so not) it will also taste like the last thing/s you baked in there.
Which, for me, was chicken and rice.
Mmmm, a two course meal in one bite.
Reminds me of...
Ugh. Sorry neighbors and friends. No Christmas or New Year's toffee this year...lame, lame LAME!!!!!!!!!!! I still have cards that say "Merry Christmas" on them. You'll be getting them, eventually. I'm not storing those in the oven.
I LOATHE throwing away food...all those precious ingredients. All that time...wasted because of absentmindedness. Do I just subconsciously love doing everything in my life twice? Seriously.
When will I learn?
WHEN!

By the way, Nathan just read this and said "AH! YUM!" (seriouslly)
Oh! I feel your pain Melissa! Kind of reminds me of this pan I have that I mulled spices in for days. Now everything I cook in it tastes of old cinnamon and cloves. Weird. Loved the line about your cards not being in the oven. That's looking at the bright side! I think you're a riot!
Love this. SOOOO something I would do.
