OH FUDGE!


Something terrible has happen to Jack and myself. We have discovered FUDGE. Not just any fudge, Kristy's fudge. Im not real sure exactly who Kristy is, although I did meet her, I just don't really KNOW her. I am fearful however that Jack could leave me for her if she's single....ya...it's THAT GOOD! I myself would leave Jack for her!

Let me explain what has transpired to cause such a ruckus over Kristy and her fudge. It all started last weekend when we took a trip with Jack's sister to a craft fair. It was at this time that our lives changed forever. As we strolled along looking at the different craft tables we noticed Jack's sister had stopped to talk to a vendor. They seemed to know each other and his sister purchased something from her. As we approached we were introduced to Kristy, the fudge and candy lady. His sister says, "this is the best fudge you will ever taste in your life....here try some". She broke of a peace and Jack and I split it up. Now up until this point I had not been a 'fudge person'. I really find it to be to sweet and have never really loved the stuff. As I placed the small morsel of fudge into my mouth I was thinking, just say it's good to be nice. Then suddenly it hit my tongue and it was as if I was eating the most glorious thing I have ever tasted! I heard a choir "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH" and a bright light came down from the sky. Colors became brighter and suddenly I was in heaven.

I turned to Jack and said...MMMMM, This is GOOD! He wasn't looking at me, he was looking at Kristy with a twinkle in his eye and a HUGE GOOFY GRIN on his face. "Jack...........Jack(poke)........JACK!" I said as I sucked every bit of the fudge from my finger. "Huh" he replied......"It's good isn't it?" I asked. "Ya.....it's..gooooooood" he said like a 13yr old boy who just saw boobies for the first time in his life.

I am not exaggerating one bit when I tell you it is the most delicious stuff I have ever had on my tongue. It literally melts in your mouth. It is as is you were at a fancy wedding and you just scooped off a huge hunk of icing from the cake with your finger. It is SO GOOD. We ended up purchasing three lbs of the heavenly stuff. We couldn't stop talking about it the whole evening. Every time we walked past the fridge we would each sneak a chunk off it. That night I went to bed....first checking to make sure there was still a pound of the cookies and cream fudge left in the fridge. Satisfied that it was safe and all in one piece, I went off to dream land dreaming of fudge. The next morning I did my usual chores, started the laundry and remembered the fudge. It was entirely to early in the morning to be eating fudge, but I decided to atleast peek at it and plan when I would have my first bit of the day. I opened the fridge and the scene I saw next still plays in my head, in slow motion, *ggggaaaassssspppppp!" (eyes open wide, jaw drops) It's goneeeeeeee!!!!!!!! Where is the fudge!??? "JAAAAAACCCKKKKKKKKK!"

What happen next was NOT pretty and I can't speak of it, But I will say that I became a monster and I hunted this man down and beat him to an inch of his life!
Not really, but I sure felt like it! My husband, a grown man of 56yrs old, ate the ENTIRE block of fudge by himself! All I have to say here is he's damn lucky that Im a nice person or I would have kicked his ass out!

So......a week later we are missing the fudge and talking about it like it was a dear friend or loved one. Then it hits me. Jack's sister knows this woman Kristy who makes the fudge. We'll just call her and find out where we can get MORE fudge! Yes, this is good.....we can get more fudge. So last night we got our hands on 2lbs of fudge. Mint chocolate swirl and chocolate peanutbutter swirl. The one we really wanted was the orange and white chocolate (dreamcicle) but they were sold out. I drew up a contract last night before going to bed and made Jack sign it. It basicly said that if he touched the fudge while I was sleeping he would have to surrender his balls to me. I think he got the point.

So as I type this I am nibbling on the mint swirl and wondering how much of it I can eat before I get sick. It sure would be worth it to know.

I plan to include this fudge in all of my Christmas givings this year......So speak up now if you wish to get some fudge from me this year. I need to make my list!
