So in the past week I dropped my workhorse chefs knife on the floor. Not normally a big deal, but with that I also dropped silverware with it, so a chip came out. So I went down to my favorite kitchen store. I replaced my knife, garlic press, which was falling apart, and got a candy thermometer. I saw a recent a Good Eats episode where they were talking about caramel, so here I enter the candy fray.
