Today was another lake day for us. This time at Marble Lake near Coldwater, Michigan where we spent the day with two of my spouse's cousins and their families.
It was great fun with lots of good conversation, some insights into their childhood lives, a delicious lunch, some card games and a boat ride.
As is traditional at family gatherings, everyone brought something to contribute to the festivities. We had hamburgers or cheese burgers, corn on the cob, baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, cookies and cakes - you get the idea.
To top it all off my wonder spouse brought his annual offering, FUDGE. But not just any fudge. This is dark chocolate fudge (with and without nuts) made from his mother's old family recipe. It is delicious and always well received.
I'm not sure what would happen if we ever showed up without it. They might not let us in. I suppose that, as a devoted spouse, I should try to learn to make this fudge. So far I am approaching this goal in small steps. So far I have learned how to lick the bowl and the spatula. Next will come 'cleaning out' the sauce pan. The wonder chef still handles this chore himself. A lot of hard work goes into making this fudge and I do appreciate his efforts. I express my appreciation by willingly taste testing each batch. I think it's important that I do my part.
