This has not been my GPF's best day. I won't even mention how much I beat him by in Gin Rummy. His speciality in the kitchen is making fudge. He uses his mother's recipe and it is delicious. But today, half way through the preparation, his trusty old hand held mixer died. I stirred while he went next door to borrow a neighbor's mixer. We're not sure what went wrong but this time the fudge didn't harden and we were left with two pans full of soft gooey semi-liquid fudge. However things have turned out ok. Being of the lemonade out of lemons mindset, we decided to try the fudge sauce on vanilla ice cream. Delicious!! It may be my new favorite way to eat fudge. Now, of course, he will be making another batch of fudge tomorrow because he has promised to bring it to Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. I hope this batch turns out ok, but, you know, if it's the kind of fudge you eat with a spoon (with ice cream) we'll just have to adjust.
