I tried to replicate my grandmother's recipe for chocolate fudge last night. Came very close. Next batch needs one or two minor adjustments. Still came out really good, though!
My grandmother was well known for her fudge. She did use the Hershey's old fashioned fudge recipe but, true to my grandmother, made her own little alterations which made it considerably better. Also true to my grandmother, she never wrote any of her recipes down. I have it mostly figured out.
The price of ingredients has decreased this year plus my income is more stable. So I may make several batches of fudge this winter to try and get it right. Then be sure and write it down for my daughter, in case she wishes to carry it forward to later generations.
Woke up at a decent time this morning but mostly because of allergies.
Figured out how the dogs were still getting the solarium door open. They were pushing (slamming into) the door, making the bottom swing in and out. Eventually, that worked the closure loose. So I installed a small wood block so the door will not swing inward. It's ridiculous. They know how to use the dog door. They're working the hinges loose and the door will fall off if they keep doing this. Or the door will fall apart.
I'm seeing a rising trend of people who completely obsess over animals. Dogs and cats, mostly. Many of those same people also have no problem judging humans, are against food stamps, against universal health care.. Maybe this obsession is just becoming more visible and has been there.
