My millionaire's slices

... failed spectacularly. The shortbread turned out quite good, but my caramel wouldn't set, soaked into the shortbread, making it soggy, and was way too sweet anyway. So was the milk chocolate on top. Well, at least I know what to make differently, should I feel daring enough to give them another attempt. At least where the sweetness is considered. I don't know what went wrong with the caramel. I checked several recipes and the description how to make it was basically the same, which I followed meticulously... I think I'll practice making the caramel for a few times before I try my hand on the actual slices again. Caramel bonbons are nice, too.

My second experiment of the day were fried zucchini slices, in egg and bread crumbs (Paniermehl for those who speak German). They turned out as they were supposed to be - but they weren't such a big deal as several people told us they would. Mostly because zucchini doesn't have much taste on its own, despite the amount of salt and pepper I added. So, next time we use this technique we'll fry chicken breast, as always. Clearly, I wasn't mean to be a vegetarian.
