OHHHH YES. I am now the happy owner of two dozen of those little mason jars, since I decided to make chocolate pots de creme for dessert during the holidays (which turned out awesome).

Well, or Claire would just have an excuse to buy a second immersion circulator ;)

Unless Rodgers spent yesterday licking everything the defense owns, there is no need for takes about the flu.
