Sometimes life goes at an easy pace and there is time for everything I want or need to do in a day. And then there are times, like the past few weeks, when I race through the day from one task to the next wondering how it got so late so fast. Thanksgiving seemed ages away and now it is here and I am, once again, not quite ready. Today both my daughter and daughter-in-law called to ask what I would like for Christmas—CHRISTMAS!!— just give me a few more hours in this day and maybe, just maybe, I can finish all of my Thanksgiving preparations and then think past tomorrow!
Meanwhile, here is a quick and easy homemade treat to share with those you love on this holiday weekend. Happy Thanksgiving!
Fudge
2-1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 cup butter (2 cubes)
1 cup evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups milk chocolate chips
2 cups nuts (walnuts)
2 teaspoons vanilla
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter milk and salt. Bring to a boil on medium heat stirring constantly. Boil for seven minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the remaining ingredients—chocolate chips, nuts and vanilla. Mix the fudge by hand until the butter is melted. Pour into a buttered 9″ square dish and cool. Cut when cool and serve. Delicious!
