Receta Recipe For Rum Truffles
We work in an office park, with limited parking for every unit. As we rent two units alongside each other, we have a lot of parking available to us. This is for all the cars – the ones we drive and the ones Dave works on (racing cars!), as well as space for visitors and truck deliveries. Across the way from us is the Helderberg Gymnastic Connection. In the afternoons, mothers come to drop their kids off, and wait for them to finish their training sessions. The gym has limited parking, and despite the owner promising me he will tell the parents not to use our parking spaces, they continue to do so. I politely ask the mothers to please not make use of our parking in future, never once asking them to move out of my way. If one of us happens to return while they are there, we will park them in, as this is the only way we can get out of our cars and continue working. I must say that this is not met with great enthusiasm. But, the parking is clearly marked with our unit number, is behind a double yellow line with a HUGE L for the loading zone painted onto the surface. Many a scuffle is had between mother’s and us, trying to navigate their way out of our parking space. The other day, I seemed to do the exact same thing. I parked in a parking lot I have been using for over 12 years. On a Friday when I go to the centre it is empty but sometime in the last 6 months they added a sign saying tenants only. I did not notice the sign, and was treated so rudely by one of the tenants. He caused a huge fuss for absolutely no reason and I really would have not minded had he merely asked me to not park there in future, rather than rudely telling me to leave! Something that will cause a scuffle in your kitchen will be the rush to taste these rum truffles. I made these to fuss over my dad when he came to visit as his favourite tipple is Red Heart Rum.
