I just made fudge! I've been cra-a-ving chocolate and sugar. That's a recipe for fudge! Must be the cold air here (44 for the high) and the snow in the forecast for Saturday. As I flipped through some of my old recipe cards, I found the original six-minute fudge recipe that I first made back on October 13, 1959! All the healthy articles tell dieters that to satisfy that sugar craving, you should eat almonds (does Almond Joy count), chew sugar-free gum (e-ew), eat rice cakes or styrofoam peanuts, or eat a piece of fruit......chocolate covered cherries? I just satisfied my craving......... I made fudge! Before I devour it all, I'll package most of it and mail it to Lauria.....she's also craving fudge.
Some days are full of doing tasks and chores that Cliff did for me. The floor wasn't that dirty but he enjoyed saying. "Guess I need to pull out the vacuum. I'm tripping over debris." I thanked him. Whenever I was in the kitchen trying out new recipes, making cookies or the double batch tapioca pudding for him, he was there beside (getting in my way sometimes) washing the utensils, pots/pans, cutting boards, drying them and putting everything back in their proper places only to have me take some things back out and reuse again. "I just washed that" he would state. He learned to ask if I were through with things before he cleaned up after me. I thanked him. He emptied the dishwasher when it was finished in such an orderly manner (getting in my way sometimes because I was also in the kitchen working but he wanted to be there with me). I thanked him. Every morning he made my bed reminding me of the order that the pillows needed to be placed. John&
