(a fancy name for balls)
I was surfing the internet this afternoon in an attempt to stay awake when I came across a cooking blog. Searching for new recipes is a favorite pasttime of mine which has recently evolved to reading blogs. Don't ask why I search for recipes. I hardly ever make them. It is in fact a gross waste of my time. But I horde them. Stored up like a stash of acorns for a wintery day. In my head, I am an incredibly resourceful and innovative cook. I like to try new things. And maybe one day I'll overcome my inner need to procrastinate and excert minimal effort and actually break into my vault of stashed receipes. Anyway, I was reading the blog when I saw the above quote. And, if you are anything like me, you gave yourself a little chuckle when you read it. I couldn't help myself. I Googled it. Turns out he was right speherification is the culinary process of forming a liquid into spheres. I even found a recipe for Apple Juice Spheres (thank you, wikipedia), and while I have no idea what you'd do with them I sort of want to make them. They look niffty!
Addendum: Further research has found that it is possible to makes alcholic balls out of Cointreau....Hello, now we're talking!
