Food of the Gods Spotlight - Peach Candy Cantres

 Hello. C J here. I've been doing some more chocolate science and I've got my last two major goals to work. The goal is to make fancy fruit or nut flavoured truffles, the kind with cream or ganache centres. I have a peach flavored cream for one of my goals and a hard peach flavored sugar centre for the other. Here's the recipes.




Peach Soft Candy Cream

Two Peach Hebal Tea Bags

Two Tablespoons Milk

One Quarter Cup Sweetened Condensed Milk

One Half Cup White Sugar


For the Peach Soft Candy Cream

In a small saucepan over low heat simmer the tea bags in the milk for 3 minutes.


Remove the tea bags and add the sweetened condensed milk and white sugar. Stir with a wooden spatula over low until the sugar combines with the milk. Take off the heat and let cool.


For the Peach Hard Candy Filling

Follow the same steps but omit the milk. Steep the tea bags in the sweetened condensed milk and add the sugar after removing them. Be very careful to stir often and not caramelize the sugars. Let cool and use as a candy filling. This recipe is still being refined.


Now, if you've been following this series for a while you are probably aware that I also have a chocolate ganache, a peanut butter and a planned almond paste filling as well. You might be wondering why so many fillings and why these ones. Vitamins. I've looked into it and with the right recipes and my knowledge of biochemistry it should be possible to get every vitamin from chocolate. It has iron and antioxidants already along with a ton of healthy effects. Protein from nuts and milk ingredients. Vitamins from nuts,l. Jam for Vitamin C. Cookies wrapped in chocolate for riboflavin and folate. Could you eat only chocolate and be healthier because of it?


Well, I'm going to find out. I just need to finish the list of recipes first.

Announcing Legend - Quantum

 Hello. C J here. I'm announcing today the official tabletop RPG companion to my upcoming video game line Quantum Dragon. The tabletop RPG companion is named Legend - Quantum. I finally get to write something in the Legend series again. I am very happy about this. The Legend series other than this one is done and will be out once its proofread, which may be a while from now. Reliably this series is the best work I've ever done on anything. I'm planning on writing setting and character sourcebooks for the whole game line as well but for now I'm working on the core book for the video game crossover. There's a free in-development copy in the Downloads page now. Have fun. C J Mcpherson

Minecraft Experiments - Steampunk Part One

 Hello. C J here. It's time for more Minecraft. This time we have some steampunk themed buildings. I'm doing these mostly as an experiment and they aren't in the part of the Astral I usually build, Ascala. Ascala needs more planning so I'm doing generic Astral themes instead of a specific nation this time. Remember that lighthouse form earlier? Well we're going in its direction this time. But first a long minecart ride from the underground station. And here we are in Port Stone. You'll notice the style of building is different. That's because it's a different part of the setting were building here. Here on the surface we have a boat waiting for us. We have a long voyage ahead of us. They've implemented some beautiful coral reefs in one of the previous updates. Believe it or not I've been playing Minecraft since before there were horses in it. Minecraft is still good. And here we are, at the new steampunk build site in the middle of an ocean. We h...

My New Favourite Video Game Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’m just going to continue discussing the video games I’m playing for a while. I’m planning out another batch of Minecraft builds while I play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team. It’s kind of weird that these are job activities for me but they are. The Minecraft builds need to be done so I can learn some more things about level design. The Pokemon game is what I’m doing for fun. At least it was. Pokemon make great inspiration for the work I do and the stories I write. I’m now having to make more time for it. Most of the characters in my setting are inspired by the Pokemon games. Our main characters Ivy, Blue, William and Benjamin are all based on some of the Pokemon in the first three generations. Ivy is specifically a fictitious all black Pokemon. Blue is an all blue togepi, William is a persian and Benjamin is a tauros without the horns. I’m going to get back to drawing humanoid versions of the first three generations eventually. These to my knowledge count...
