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.
Happy Summer Solstice! It was a beautiful start to this day. The typical mountain fog had settled in when I got up at 6:30 but burned off shortly after. I always go outside when I first get up, scan for wildlife, and walk around soaking in the morning peace and calm. Did about 20 minutes of stretchy yoga, showered and had a light breakfast of cream of buckwheat with ghee-fried peaches. I still felt a little full from eating Italian food with Janice last night. We go out at 4:30 and take our time eating and talking, have a glass of wine and Friday night is dessert night. Janice is doing better. It'll be a year in August since she lost Ernie. I left the breakfast dishes in the sink and headed to our Murphy Farmers Market. First stop was "Healing Ways" produce farmers for fresh Swiss chard, butter crunch lettuce, and a bunch of young summer squash and zucchini since all of mine are falling off the plants....
