Confectionary
Way back when, Holla and Óli invited us and some other good friends over to make confectionery (fancy chocolate bits) on 23 December, aka the Day Before Christmas, where tradition dictates that one should eat really really stinky fish for dinner. This past Christmas, we were all set to return the favor, when a stomach bug stopped our plans. Thankfully, the ingredients were all fairly non-perishable, so we waited until things had started to quiet down after the holidays, and summoned Holla & Óli and Adda & Halli over for some chocolate-fiddling in the beginning of February instead.

We didn't bother to temper the chocolate, we figured it would get eaten too fast anyway. Instead we just melted it and then popped stuff in the fridge. And, oh yes, European fridges are crazy small/skinny!

Chocolate is happiness is chocolate.
