Today is National Fudge Day. Just let that sink in for a moment. The beginnings of this holiday are unknown, but who cares. And yes, this treat is probably more commonly available in the winter months, but I bet if you look you can find some today too.

Sorry I’ve been gone for a bit- I managed to get locked out of my own website. That takes true talent- lucky for me I have that in spades. While I was gone several folks voted themselves off the Presidential Wannbe Island, Valentine’s Day happened, and Iowa had 2 blizzards. Virtually everyone in North Iowa saw Hairball at the Surf… Read more »
