Fudge is one of those things that I don't think of making regularly. It's finicky and easy to mess up. Also, I am really impatient and fudge is the kind of thing that takes patience and self control. But lord knows it's worth it when you get a good batch of fudge. It makes the house smell like a chocolate factory and it's so incredibly satisfying.
Salted caramel is the rage right now. And for good reason, it's the perfect blend of salty and sweet. Something I need right now - a middle ground. Our life is busy and messy and seems to be more dramatic than I usually like. But, it's nice to slow down and watch the fudge reach exactly 234 degrees F. Exactly.
It's Wednesday already, I barely slept last night. We watched The Hunger Games and stayed up talking until 6am. I thought the movie was okay, and early morning conversation was the medicine I needed. I am assembling a crate full of glasses this afternoon and waiting patiently for fed-ex. And eating lots of fudge. So. Much. Fudge.

Mmm, the fudge looks so good. I'm glad you guys are still staying so busy with work. :]
ReplyDeletethanks Angel!
DeleteDamn girl, I dedicate myself to making better food choices and you post THIS?!?! Bookmarked it for the holidays when all bets are off anyway.
ReplyDeleteI understand that life is absolute insanity, but seeing that you're assembling a whole crate of glasses today, well, you're just so lucky to be doing what you want to do, and I understand how incredibly satisfying it is to work with our hands, to see the result of your labour at the end of every day.
Guess I just wanted to say kudos. Keep on rocking in the free world? I don't know.
