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.

 We haven't had any rain in weeks and the next ten days show no rain in sight.  Trees usually are bursting with fresh green leaves by this time but not leaves sprouting yet.  I haven't planted any seeds in the big garden because it'll be too much work to keep that garden watered.   I thought about building a raised garden to put by the porch stairs but that would mean power saws so that was out.  I found that Lowe's had a 2' X 4' cedar planter kit in a box that I could assemble myself.    I started assembling it on the porch with the intent of carrying it down to where I thought it would be best but plans changed.  It's a tool-free frame assembly kit where all the parts are computer-driven cut and fit together without fastening.  The instructions are the kind I like......no reading to confuse me, just pictures.     After I assembled the whole bed, sides slats and all, it was too heavy for me and because it wasn't fast...

 Another sign of autumn is saying "good-bye" until next spring to the farmers markets in the area.  I visited the Blairsville market this morning, much later than my summer runs.  It's colder in the mornings and I chose not to rush out.  In the summer I was at the markets by nine to be sure I got the fresh greens before the vendors ran out and the summertime I have more energy.  Now I linger longer under my warm cozy covers, stretch and wiggle before putting my feet on the cold floor.      Japanese turnips and whatever the other bunch is.  I can't remember what she said.  Maybe a variety of a kale? Anyway, it's something for me to saute or throw in a soup.  A few days I did a slow-cook whole chicken, picked all the meat of the carcass, and froze the chicken in four bags.  Then added water to the carcass and onions, carrots, celery, a couple of bay leaves to boil for stock.  I got four containers of stock in the freezer for...
