Fudge Bake Happiness Recipe

Quote For The Day:

"Nowadays I find chocolate and/or chocolate-based snacks to be great motivators. Everyone loves chocolate. If someone has a lot of work to do, put a piece of fudge in a glass container (so they can see it) and let them know that if they accomplish their tasks, they can eat the fudge. You'll definitely get a reaction!" -Michael Scott

Food For Thought:

The salad I was not happy with!

I was not too long ago I purchased salad on my phone and scheduled to pick it up along with other items I had ordered. I drove to the store and received my items. When I returned home and unpacked my items I noticed the salad did not look the greatest. I was disappointed.

My first thought was to call the store and complain. Then I thought I would leave a bad review. If I had gone into the store myself and handpicked the bag salad I would not have chosen the one they had given me. I wondered why the person who picked the salad for me picked this bag. Were they not paying attention? Did they pick that bag on purpose? What was I going to do about this situation?

I didn't eat the salad. I threw it out. I decided not to complain to the store. I chose not to say anything. I decided to go to the store and pick the bag of salad I wanted next time.

Has this type of thing happened to you before? I hope you have not experienced this. What would you have done in this situation? I am interested in your thoughts about this bag of salad. I think most people would say something but would it do any good? There are many questions that can be asked about this situation and many answers to the questions.

I don't know if I did the right thing or the wrong thing. I think it would have been good to say something about it. As I reflect on this bag of salad I recall many situations in life where something happened that I was not happy with and decided to say nothing. Some things have happened in my past where I did say something because I was unhappy.

I have learned to "pick my battles" in life. When is the right time to say something? When is the wrong time to say something? I believe weighing the cost of saying something is important. What will it cost me to stand my ground on something I believe strongly in? Maybe it will take time? Maybe the person I say something to will retaliate? There is always a cost of some kind.

One thing for sure about me, when I believe so strongly in something, I will raise the issue. What do you think? Can you relate to this situation or similar situations in your life? Your feedback is important to me and I would love to hear from you.

Thoughts On Fudge Bake Happiness:

I live near a place that makes lots of fudge. I love going into the fudge store and looking at all of the fudge. I love the different flavors of fudge the store has. Each fudge has its own incredible look and taste. When I think of fudge I think of the holidays. Maybe because a lot of fudge is made around Christmas time. When you hear the word "fudge" what comes to your mind?

Fudge Browinies

My youngest daughter makes the best fudge brownies. Her brownies have a thick rich layer of fudge on top. It is not an icing. It is a fudge and a good mix of fudge and brownie. She sold her fudge brownies and other baked goods at a local Farmer's Market. She almost always sold out at the market.

Thoughts On Weights And Measures For Cooking

It is essential that you do not confuse "weight" and "volume" when it comes to cooking. I want to share the Guide to Common Cooking Measurements by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Hopefully, this guide will be helpful to you. If you have any comments about these measurements please let me know at the end of this post.

Extra Information For You:

Maybe you have been cooking for a while and you have heard someone use the term "smidgen" or "dollop" when they provide instructions on a recipe. These terms among other cooking terms are very unique. It is almost like a cooking language. I would like to share a great article that explains these terms on these weights and measures. It is by Lapham's Quarterly, and is called How Much Is a Smidgen?

Quick Question To Think About:

Do you have a memory of being in the kitchen with a loved one and they used a cooking term concerning weights and measures? I remember my grandmother cooking and saying "dash" or "pinch" and sometimes she wouldn't use a measuring device except for her hands. This confused me because I am a very analytical person. To me, it made more sense to use a measuring spoon or cup. It seemed to work for her very well and all of us benefited from her tasty cooking. What words do you recall hearing in the kitchen while someone cooked your favorite meal?

My Personal Thoughts:

Me at Barnes & Noble Bookstore

It has been a very busy week and I intended to share more recipes but just haven't been able to. Friday night my daughter had her friend over to stay the night. I took them to eat Chinese food and then to a local thrift store. I found a couple good T-shirts and some books. I did find an old wood walking cane I plan to refinish and maybe sell. I will share pictures of that later when I get around to working on it.

The girls found a few items at the thrift store and then we went next door to the Aldi grocery store to get snacks for them. After the sacks, we went to the Vintage Stock store so they could shop there. I sat in the car while they looked. The Vintage Stock store is a video game store that also sells posters and movies. I am not into video games that much so it didn't interest me.

Auto Problems:

Before we went into the thrift store I had problems with the side van door opening up. It is automatic and it didn't seem to want to work. No matter how hard I tried or what I did it just didn't work. I had filled up my gas tank at the station and I figured out my gas cap door was not all the way closed. This prevents the sliding door from opening. Once I clicked the gas cap door all the way closed, the sliding door began to work correctly. This happened before but it was so long ago I forgot all about it. The girls had a good time and I got a dad-win taking them out. One thing I learned was that when pumping gas it is very important to make sure the gas cap door is all the way closed before leaving the station.

Ok, I hope I haven't bored you with my dad journeys and making teenage girls have a fun time shopping. I'll be finishing up this post and hopefully, you find the information I shared here helpful. If you have a recipe you would like to share please send it to me. I will give you recipe share credit and link back to your page or social media. Until next time, thanks for reading!
