First Snow!

A nice snow storm blew in last night and dumped a generous portion of snow in our valley! This morning on the local news they said the snow fall was only 1/2 an inch...right.... I went out this evening and measured on our lovely front yard decoration, the old toilet from our remodeled bathroom. How about 4 1/2 inches!! I shoveled the walk and Toby (who always loves the snow) was running around romping in it. Every time I would throw the snow in his direction, he would run around underneath it all excited. Sooo cute! Then when we came in the house he spent a good 15 minutes biting out the snow-clods that form in the fur on his legs. While Mom made dinner I made some fudge from a recipe Pam (she went to Hawaii with us) gave us. You take 2 cups of chocolate (or any) chips and 1 can of condensed milk and microwave it for 3 minutes. Stir it up until it gets smooth and well mixed and then mix in anything else you want in the fudge...walnuts, candy, etc. Spread it all out in a cake pan lined with wax paper and let it set, you don't have to put it in the fridge. I used Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips and added walnuts and I can tell you what I licked off the spatula was d-e-licious!
