Over the last few years I have struggled to put together gifts for the neighbors and friends for Christmas. That would primarily be fudge. I actually got it together last year but never got it delivered. I was a little embarrassed after Christmas to actually deliver it. I didn't want to flake out again this year. This morning I got up and made two batches of fudge. I purchased some tins for it yesterday and those turned out nice. Just how it looked when I was a kid. I got it wrapped and then got out there and delivered it. It felt good to get that done this year. Things just happened to work out where I could do that. It seemed well received.
One of my deliveries was to Ken and Georgia Bettridge. I sure do love Ken and Georgia. They have always been so kind to me and to the kids. Anyhow, I dropped the fudge off, was invited in for a minute and then invited to go get a drink and go on a little ride. So, we went. It was a good time, really nice to visit with them and to just relax and go for a ride.
I saw on facebook that the fudge for the missionaries arrived. It looked like something had happened to one of the bricks during shipping... Sister Sweeney posted a couple of pictures. She was excited for the fudge to come in. I'm glad it got there and hope it is all in good shape.
We had a little fondue evening at the folks. The group this year included Dave, Dani and Griff, Amy, Dan and Sam oh, and Sam, Mike and Liana, the folks of course and me. We had two pots of broth going, we had two pots of cheese plus a crock pot of Velveeta, we had a deep fryer outside and I deep fried shrimp, mushroom, zucchini and broccoli. So at the start of the meal all the deep fried veggies that needed tempura were already prepared. It was great. We also had a white elephant exchange and we had a root beer blind taste test/rating thing. I am full, I am ready for bed and I am grateful for this time of year.
