so on and so forth

Lol I just finished breakfast

I created my glistening daughter of gore by reading an article from some questionable tiktokers on a questionable gummy recipe. I realized I didn't have any kind of juice or soda to flavour the candy, and so I went to the pantry and took out the most compatible ingredient: peaches in a can. I thought the can would contain peach juice, but as I poured it into the bowl I realized that the true contents were peach syrup. I assumed this wouldn't be a huge problem, and so I stirred it in with the agar agar powder (gelatin replacement) over the stove.

The horror of my mistake dawned upon me as I watched the clumps form leaving me helpless to save my precious candy. It turns out that agar agar powder must be dissolved in pure liquidy water and not syrup. I was already too far in, however, as I had used the last of my gelatinous powder, and so I stirred and stirred and poured in water and an accidental insane amount of red food dye (i was looking to add a couple drops but probably added 2 tablespoons). After a while it boiled, and though the recipe said to let it continue to boil for 5 minutes I feared that my clumps of goo in sugary water would burn, so I simply turned off the heat and placed the concoction into the refrigerator.

Then later in the day, to my surprise, it was just syrup. I wondered if the acids in the peach had broken down the crystal formations. I mixed in a hefty amount of sugar and heated it up on the stove before leaving it out on the counter unprotected for the whole night.

The next day (today) I checked on it and realized it was still syrup. Thicker syrup, yes, but syrup none the less. I thought the best thing to do would be to sprinkle sugar over it to encourage crystal formations, pour it onto a tray, and bake it in the oven for 30 minutes.

anyway yay that's her origin story
