While making fudge I noticed that I'm a counter-clockwise stirrer. Five minutes of stirring tends to make my mind wander and think of ridiculous things.
The fudge and Rice Krispies Treats recipes were right off of the packages of marshmallow creme ("Fantasy Fudge") and the Rice Krispies cereal box, respectively. The shortbread is a recipe of mine that I've made every year from the Good Housekeeping cookbook. The applesauce cake recipe came from my aunt and is in the family cookbook that my mom made for a family reunion many years ago. I didn't add the raisins, though, and left half the batch without nuts as well. The favorite Christmas candy recipe came from my mom via a woman that my dad worked for when Mom and Dad were dating. Mom would make it every year but when I moved away I started making it myself.
One more week of school to go before the two-week winter break. I plan to visit my sister for a few days but after Christmas I want to clear out my pantry, clean the shelves, and paint them. I also need to do some touch-up painting around the house where dings have chipped off the paint. Not too exciting, but something that needs to be done.
Have a good week!

Fudge looks wonderful. Made two batches of nuts and bolts yesterday and my first of fudge today. I guess I am a switch hitter when it comes to stirring. I go one way until my arm gets tired, then I hold it a different way and then stir the other way, Interesting.

When I force myself to change stirring directions, it feels awkward. Can't wait to get our batch of n&b!
