Happy birthdays to (deep breath...) [livejournal.com profile] dharklady, [livejournal.com profile] rikchik, [livejournal.com profile] cnoocy, and [livejournal.com profile] sag85kwt! (Plus coworker N and fellow bellringer R -- I think I know more people with birthdays on December 7 than any other day of the year!)

I find myself with an abundance of oranges and a large Ghirardelli "candy making and dipping" bar (courtesy of Cousin A, who found it at BJ's), so on something of a whim, I decided to try making chocolate-dipped candied orange peel. The candying process turns out to be more involved than I knew, but it was fun. I don't know if I did it right, as the resulting candied peel seem stickier than I'd expect, but chocolate covers a multitude of sins.

I also now have a sizable amount of leftover orange-peel-infused sugar syrup that really ought to be good for something. Any suggestions?

Still on today's agenda: making gingerbread cookie dough and trying a recipe for drop cookies with dried cranberries and orange frosting. Think I probably won't get to the first batch of potica today, but we'll see.
