Tuesday Fudge Happenings

So the other night Keith asked me to please make some fudge. I hadn't made it in a long time so I decided to make some today. I am using my Mama's Drop Fudge recipe. It's the easiest fudge to make, but my favorite fudge is the one from the Hershey Cocoa box. I posted that recipe here already in another post. Here is Mama's Drop Fudge recipe:
Mildred's Drop Fudge
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup can milk (evaporated)
1/2 cup water
Let above come to a boil and cook until soft ball stage.
Add 1/2 stick butter and dash of salt. Beat with beater (mixer) until it loses its shine, add vanilla and continue beating. Drop by spoon onto wax paper.

***Shirla's Notes: Peanut butter can be added with the vanilla.


I hung some towels outside on my clothes line today. It is real hot here today so I know it wont take them to long to dry. I'm still waiting on Keith to add more lines to my poles so I can hang out everything at one time.

I also ran the vacuum today in the living room, but upright is broke so I had to use my little shop vac. Emma hates that thing! The whole time I was vacuuming she was barking and trying to bite the hose. It is so funny when she does that. She is all of 6 pounds and thinks she can kill the vacuum! lol

Dinner tonight will be pork something. lol I'm not sure how I want to cook the pork chops, I might just BBQ them (baked in the oven with BBQ sauce over them). I'll make a side dish and a veggie.

Shirla, stuff some this way too. The unwelcome visitor came yesterday. I'm seriously contemplating pulling one of the chocolate bunnies from Easter out of the freezer.
