i am just throwing everything off. i barely even remember the last few days, or week or so. what is even happening anymore?lets just look at the happy easter sprinkles for a minute then. ohh yeah. look at all those happy pinks and purples, a little pastel blue in there. not to mention they're shaped like chicks, ducks and bunnies. how can that not make you smile a little? oh, and to top off all of that, those sprinkles are embedded in peanut butter fudge.
take that in for a minute. peanut butter fudge. oh my goodness. peanut butter fudge is only the best kind of fudge. at least since it's my favorite kind to make as of thus far. plus, its sooooo easy.
like, there are only four ingredients easy. its almost foolproof. the boiling part is a little tricky since you have to time it right, but if you keep a close eye, you will be on your way to home made peanut butter fudge in almost no time, minus the chilling part.
i will even be so kind as to hand out my favorite recipe to you. i can't remember what website it came from, but i found it many moons ago via the internet, before facebook and pinterest were the cool things to do.
2 cups sugar
2/3 cups milk
1 cup peanut butter
1-1 1/2 cups fluff
prepare a pan by lightly greasing or spraying the bottom and sides. (8x8" or 9x13" work fine.)
measure out your peanut butter and fluff, set aside.
combine milk and sugar into a large sauce pan. bring to a rolling boil on medium high-high heat (mixture will foam and expand, keep an eye on it). boil for 7-8 minutes, or soft ball stage (when you drop a bit in cold water, it should hold together in a soft ball). if you have a candy thermometer, that's about 234 F. remove from heat, add your peanut butter and fluff and mix well.
spread into the prepared pan and allow to cool, or stick it in the fridge or freezer for quicker results.
check that out. i actually made a double batch and put it in a 12" square pan lined with foil. half of it went to ron's work for a fund raiser....children's miracle? they do the dollar donation balloons and had a "bake sale" over the weekend, where if you donate, you get treats. how cool is that? i kind of wish i could do that at my work, buuuut....well, i'm not going to get into my work. it makes me sad.
not getting into it though! i had to work on easter for a little while, but i got up early and prepared for the day. i made corn bread and cheesecake, and got the ham all ready. ron cooked while i was at work, and we had our first "just us" holiday, didn't go anywhere, didn't bother with anyone, just stayed home and cooked dinner. it was kind of nice. although, we did actually go out after. the whole week up until sunday, we had a fast and furious marathon, watched each of the six movies, and after dinner, we used our movie passes we had and saw the latest one. the theater was actually pretty full for a sunday night holiday, and some idiot was taking a fucking selfie in the dark during a sentimental part of the movie. they tell you to turn your phone off for a reason, as to not ruin the movie for everyone else. go jump off a bridge and take a selfie there. dumb ass. the movie was pretty good though.
the weather has been getting nicer thankfully. we went out for a walk on monday and found this little waterfall right behind our apartments. i don't think it's there all year, it might be just because everything is melting, but it was pretty neat. it started to rain a little while we were out, and ron almost fell in trying to jump across some rocks. we were not out long, even though the day was nice while we were at work, it ended up getting cold and rained. BUT....rain will make the snow go away so its okay in my book. the last few days have been in the 50's. i hope it stays that way, it was nice to finally get out and do something. i have been sick of sitting around inside all day because cold weather is bad touch.
it is not even 10:30 yet and i am exhausted. it has been a long few weeks, it seems. i can't escape. i hope things will be okay soon. just one day. don't wanna do anything.
i guess i am going to leave it at that for now. i will be back the usual sunday, now that i won't be doing anything again for a while. hope you are having a good week. see you this weekend! thanks for reading! ☺
