Works For Me Wednesday

For this Wednesday, I decided to do a WFMW, because I had something that,well, worked for me! *Grins*

Seriously though, it does work for you.....it's a recipe from Alton Brown for peanut butter fudge that you make in the microwave!

That's right, folks. No boiling ingredients in pots and pans or candy thermometers. All you need is:

1 cup butter, plus more for greasing pan

1 cup peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 pound powdered sugar

1 microwave

Directions:

Microwave butter and peanut butter for 2 minutes on high. Stir and microwave on high for 2 more minutes. Add vanilla and powdered sugar to peanut butter mixture and stir to combine with a wooden spoon. Pour into a buttered 8 by 8-inch pan lined with waxed paper. Place a second piece of waxed paper on the surface of the fudge and refrigerate until cool. Cut into 1-inch pieces and store in an airtight container for up to a week.

And look what you get in the end!

(In a note of trivia, this is actually a photo of the Alton Brown fudge that somebody else made and "flickred.")

Have fun and bon apetit!

No books or bookstores,

just Google.

No libraries or librarians,

No articles to clip and file,

just Google.

No academic search engines,

just Google.

No conversations,

It ranks, rates,

never hesitates:

It tells what is real,

tells us how to feel:

I googled Google,

and got Google.

I googled myself

Something's Up With My Nose.....

Hi everyone,

I looked through my grandfather's books a week ago, and as I did, I would pick up a book or two and smell it.  I like the smell of old books, provided there's not too much dust to make you cough.

 

I opened one, and as I sniffed it, I thought to myself, "This smells like a book that was made in the 1970s."  So I turned to the second or third page of the book, where all the copyright information was printed.  Lo and behold, that book was printed in the 1970s!  How weird is that???

I tried another book, but my nose just wasn't as good.  I got the years off by a decade or so.

My mother always did say though, that I had the nose of the basset hound.  ; )

Soli Deo Gloria!

Fried Oreos....

Yes, that's right, folks. 

Fried Oreos.

On the front of the newspaper today, an article talked about how one of the popular carnival foods at a nearby fire company carnival is a delicacy known as fried Oreos.  It's exactly as the name implies: Oreos that get deep-fried in batter and then sprinkled with powdered sugar.  It's like chocolate funnel cake.

My mom is grossed out.  My brother is grossed out.  I don't know what to say....they look kinda gross.  The name definitely sounds gross.  It sounds like fried chicken gone overboard.  I think for now, I'm gonna stick to funnel cake and fried chicken.

What do you think?  Yum, or yuck?

Soli Deo Gloria!
