Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. 2 Bring cream, butter, vanilla bean seeds, and fleur de sel to a boil in a small saucepan, then remove from heat and set aside. 3 Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan, taking care not to get excess on the sides of the pan. Ensure that the sugar is completely hydrated by mixing it with your fingers. Wash down the sides of the pot with a pastry brush dipped in water. Bring the mixture to a boil, without stirring. Once the mixture begins to darken around the edges, begin swirling the pot to even out the caramelization, until the caramel is a deep amber color. 4 Turn off the heat and carefully add the cream mixture (mixture will bubble up) and simmer. Once the bubbling calms down, return to low heat, stirring frequently, until caramel registers 250°F on thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into baking pan and cool 2 hours. Cut into 1-inch rectangles, then wrap each piece in a 4-inch square of wax paper, twisting 2 ends to close. For caramels that are a bit chewier, chill, for softer caramels, store in the fridge in a sealed plastic bag.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
