Michael came over this afternoon. We walked down to Carrefour and purchased 47 Euro's worth of ingredients (except peanut butter) to make meatloaf and buckeyes. Once we had mixed the ingredients for the meatloaf, I had the genius idea to make them into meatballs, so they would be easier to serve. Sadly, my plan failed as when we pulled them out of the oven, they crumbled to pieces.
To buy the peanut butter that the Carrefour in Vimy does not carry, Catherine chartered us to Lievin where we ran, bought sugar-less beurre de cacahouette, and spent an extra 20 Euro.
The recipe that I chose to use, which makes a perfect 170 Buckeyes, called for 5 sticks of butter. Since butter in France comes in huge blocks, we converted that into 567 grams! Although they look and smell delicious, I will not be touching those come this weekend! They must be good, though, because Andrea and even Nicolas loved the peanut butter-butter-sugar mixture!
