This week I learned a new skill and what better time to do it than in the dead of winter! I was intimidated by making a caramel sauce with just 2 ingredients. I had seen other people do it and so this week I decided to give it a try.

Once you have achieved this you add the cream, and the result is SO good!

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Duran Duran stumbled but stayed sophisticated. Pat Benatar roared. Lionel Richie Soared. Eminem was Eminem. All are now members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame after a rousing show Saturday night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. They’re joined in the Hall by Carly Simon, Eurythmics and Dolly Parton, who felt like she didn’t deserve the honor and wrote a rock song for the occasion. Duran Duran overcame technical glitches to thrill a room full of its fans. Richie’s set went from the mellow ballad “Hello” to the celebration of “All Night Long.” Benatar showed off her powerful pipes with “Love is a Battlefield.” Eminem brought on Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler to sing the chorus of “Dream On” for 2003′s “Sing for the Moment.”

When NBC canceled the sci-fi family drama “Manifest” last year after three seasons, fans were devastated: The central mystery about a commercial plane that disappeared for more than five years — only to land with crew and passengers that hadn’t aged a day — was nowhere near solved.
