candy thermometer-other uses?

Hello!
I am purchasing my very first (awww) candy thermometer today, and I was curious as to whether I could use it as a general thermometer as well? Or is it specifically for candies?
Ex: when heating oil, can i use it to detect the temperature of that as well?
Many thanks!

Keeping Eclairs

morning all! I am helping my brother move this sunday very early in the morning. i thought a nice treat for us would be some cappuchino eclairs, however i was hoping to make them in advance. i will also be out of town on saturday, but could possibly make them saturday morning....how, if at all, will they keep so that they are fresh and delicious? (fingers crossed of course)

Picnic cake?

I am having a picnic tomorrow in the park and would like to bring some sort of cake/cupcake sweet tooth treat. Any suggestions for easily portable/serve-able sweets?

Skittles-Infused Vodka, Taste the Alcoholic Rainbow

Skittles-Infused Vodka, Taste the Alcoholic Rainbow

Forget apple-tinis and wow your cocktail-loving friends with the bright colors and fruity flavor of Skittle-infused vodka. I know, you haven't concocted strange liquors since you were a teenager hiding a bottle of Kahlua from your parents so you could secretly make milkshakes with it. Oh, wait, that was just me. These colorful bottles of alcohol are sure to be the life of the party when you follow these instructions to make your own Skittle-flavored vodka and dish out neon yellow vodka sodas, ruby red Cape Cods, or cobalt blue martinis to your friends. And, it's a whole lot cheaper than buying that fancy flavored stuff. [via Neatorama]... More
