The breakfast I went to yesterday was fab! I was going to take pictures, but forgot the camera. Amy Rae's house was decked out beautifully and was spotlessly clean.
The menu consisted of:
mushroom breakfast casserole
fresh fruit with dip
cinnamon rolls
assorted juice
(nasty) blueberry muffins
We ate on dainty china and crystal. It was lovely. About the blueberry muffins--I am ashamed to say that I desecrated the menu by bringing them. I used a box mix. Normally I use Jiffy, and they are pretty good. These were Martha White. Not good. They looked pretty, but tasted metallic. Don't buy Martha White!!
I really did want to stay all day. When I proposed the idea to Amy Rae she said "Yay! We can watch a movie," in her Texan accent. The offer was soooo tempting, alas I could not stay.
So I came home to my dirty dust-bowl. This morning I was catching up on dishes. I ran a load last night. Ran another load this morning, and STILL had a huge counterful to do. My kitchen is officially clean.... except for the junk counter.... And the floor....And the inside of the microwave.... And the now clean dishes in the dishwasher waiting to be put away.
Okay, my kitchen is partly clean (sigh).
About my Wednesday project--I cannot post what I've been making because I don't want the kids to see any of it. But I have a really easy fudge recipe for you. You can whip these up in a pinch and dole them out to neighbors and friends or strangers. Whomever.
1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz I think)
1 bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla
Melt the chips in a double boiler (or a pan set in another larger pan that has boiling water in it).
Add the vanilla and milk. Stir and heat.
Pour into an 8x8 pan with waxed paper in it.
Optional: sprinkle chopped nuts (or sprinkles or chopped m&ms) on top.
Place in refrigerator. After it's cool you can cut it into squares. The squares will be soft and creamy. You could probably roll into balls to make truffles if you want.
Anyways. It's fast and easy. I'm sure it's not anything like the Fallstrom's will make. Their candy is gourmet.
I'm always looking for an easy way out of everything so this works for me.
Hope your day is great!

Debra- your posts crack me up! That cat-calling one was funny--you deserve the most applause for all of this piano playing you've been doing.... or how about an extra boost of blessings for sharing your talents!
The recital was great-- I was very impressed with all of the progress your students have made...just shows they have an awesome teacher! And Kaden loved your comment- don't worry we will never give you up. Never. Never. Never.
Now I'm off to clean my bomb of a house. I'm no Amy Rae either.
