Snow and Fudge

Lafayette was hit with a huge snow/ice storm (and most of the mid-west for that matter). Purdue classes were cancelled for two days! You know things are bad when they actually cancel university classes.
We stayed inside for 2 entire days. There was no need to go out for school and we had plenty of groceries, so we stayed warm inside watching movies while Mckay did homework, I sewed food and Dallin crawled around trying to eat things like coins, dry beans and poly-fil batting.

It's not a good idea to leave your car sitting in the parking lot for 2 days in an ice storm if you ever want to drive it again. It took 30 minutes this morning to dig the car out from underneath all the ice and snow. The ice scraper took quite a beating. After that, we had to get the car over the mound of ice and snow behind it to get out of our parking spot. With the tires slipping on the ice beneath them, it took the help of two kind neighbors pushing the car to get it out.

After dropping Mckay off for school, I came home and got stuck in the snow again trying to park in a parking spot. A nice lady saw me trying to dig the car out of its predicament, and she helped me push the car far enough into the spot so that the back end wasn't blocking up the road. (Don't we have such nice neighbors?)

It looks like I'm not leaving this apartment until the sun melts the car out or Mckay comes home to push me out. There's only one things to do in a situation like this: stay inside and make fudge.

Just mix and little of this and that...
...and you get fudge!
I used this fudge recipe. It's very easy and quick.
Even Dallin had a little lick.
And then he just kind of held it...

I like Dallin's shirt. And fudge does sound good.

Yum, good choice. The snow and cold weather is no fun, but the staying inside and spending time together is awesome.

It sounds like a good use of two snow days. Dallin looks like he is having fun with the fudge. A few more "licks" and you might start liking chocolate.

I love Dallin's shirt! He really is a big deal--such a little sweetheart. Your fudge looks amazing and I am glad you have such nice neighbors.
