Ha I know why Phillip wants you to learn Dutch! You sound very sexy speaking. :P You are doing very well speaking Dutch.

@richardsteele6469 4 ай бұрын

to keep the chocolate glossy, you have to keep the choc. warm when pouring. you might want to do one shape at a time on the first pour keeping the choc. warm in between shapes then doing the second pour all at once. also you might try holding a hot spatula over the blushed choc. to gently melt the choc to return the gloss. Also if the choc is grainey you may need to retemper the choc to get the best results. Don't burn the chocolate.

@amritaji19 4 ай бұрын

You don’t really need to keep the chocolate warm, you just need to temper it, many videos on KZfaq. If it is properly tempered it will be nice and shiny and will have a nice snap when you break it. Also chocolate shrinks when it cools, so when it is properly tempered it will come out of the mold super easy. Chocolate is quite tricky, but practice makes perfect 😅

@@janeobrien7567 😊 Nick is Maries husband and Antoines 'father' ~ I dont know if he calls him father or his father father well, but sort of father ❤😊 Nick is also owner of the chateau and Marie, him and Antoine has an appartment in the chateau just like Mommy and Michael. So Nick has all the KZfaq time wanted to remain udseen so sometimes you will see his humor come through in form of wearing a paperbag over his head 😅 it is always quite funny I think 😊. Good Night from Denmark ❤

@jeanoliver3784 3 ай бұрын

So, Nick and Stephanie were the two original owners of the Chateau. Michael Potts, who had been once Stephanie’s boyfriend wanted to be originally involved as the third owner.. But, Michael later came on board as a third owner. If I’m remembering right they were all in college together. And yes, Nick doesn’t want to have his face filmed.

Checking for a 'chip' is the first thing that most people would do if they found a stay dog, he is such a lovely dog I would hate to have him wander away.
