If you've been following my blog, you know that I usually like to warm you up with a few photos before I get to the recipe of the day.
You can pretty much count on the photos falling into one of two categories.
1. Whatever happens to be blooming in my yard. (a.k.a. Flowers That I Haven't Killed...Yet)
or
2. My dogs. Here's Clyde on the 4th of July, visiting my parents in Connecticut.
You may think that you've just viewed the warm-up pictures, but today I've got something even better. (And best of all, I am going to share some photos that were taken by others, people who have much better skills with a camera than I could ever hope to have!)
There's been a little bit of Hollywood action here in our little Boston suburb for the past couple of days.
My facebook newsfeed has been completely flooded with pictures that my friends have posted of Robert Downey, Jr. By all accounts, he is a really down-to-Earth, humble guy who freely steps into the crowds to sign autographs.
The above picture was taken by my friend Kerry's cousin, Reilly.
Kerry was stuck at work and is insanely jealous that Reilly was so close to one of her all-time favorite actors.
And I'm sure Kerry is also jealous that Robert Downey, Jr. was looking right at our friend, Cristina, when she took this picture.
Cristina's son, Jake, got an autograph.
The name of the film is "The Judge." My friend, Tracey, captured this scene outside the courthouse. Tracey's a true rock star with her camera.
Final shot: Tracey's daughter, Lily, getting an autograph and a little face time with a movie star.
Thanks to all of my friends for letting me share their pictures!
Okay, before I give you the recipe, I need to tell you that it's one of a gazillion recipes that I've been pinning on Pinterest. Actually, I didn't even pin this one, because when I pin something I never look at it again.
I went right to the recipe, printed it out, and made it. Click HERE to go to Redbook Magazine's recipe for Salted Caramel Treats. Go ahead. You have to click on the link. I'll wait.
Okay, now that you're back I will explain why you needed to click on the link. I wanted you to see how beautiful and perfect the treat looks in that picture. I know that I'm always telling you how terrible a photographer I am, but I need to inform you that no amount of mad photography skills could ever make the treats that I made look so perfect. (And the fact that I scorched my caramel didn't help.) Do you think they actually photoshopped all of the flaws right out of that treat? I mean, caramel is really gooey, right? That picture is the smoothest, most ungooey-looking caramel I have ever seen. Where am I going with this? The point of all this rambling is that although my treats hardly resemble the flawless treat you see in that picture, it doesn't matter. Flaws and all, these treats are out-of-this-world yummy!
