Caramel fudge

I tend to create my own recipes or modify existing ones. Sometimes I come up with something really good or a huge mess that gets tossed out or fed to the dog.
This recipes is one I came up with on my own and I got it right the first time. I have a horrendous sweet tooth so am constantly to come up with new things to fix that. This recipe came about because of a Pinterest picture of a fudge name pecan pie fudge. I searched the internet for the recipe only to discover there wasn't one I could order the fudge but not the recipe.
While this doesn't taste like pecan pie it is a melt in your mouth carmel fudge.

1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups brown sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 and 1/2 sticks butter
1 tablespoon any corn syrup*
Melt in heavy sauce pan and cook to 250 F, beat in 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 1/2 cups of marshmallow fluff, place in 13 x 9 greased pan and refrigerate till solid. Store in container with lid or plastic bag.
Yum Oh! melts in your mouth.
(sorry no pictures my camera makes awful pics)


* fun fact corn syrup will decrease the chances your candy will crystalize

Monday morning

It cooled off outside. It was 59 this morning and that means I can go outside and breathe. Of course I can't breathe because the ragweed count is so high. I have been sneezing and have red watery eyes for the last couple of weeks. There is a mall walking program at the local mall they open at 8:00 am it is a mile and 1/8 if you go through around all the little side halls. Anyone want to join me?
I have been dragging the dog around when it is cool enough but he doesn't always do well and he has to stop and pee on everything. Sometimes he pees and nothing comes out. For some reason we get 4 houses down and he has to poop. Even poops on the side walk. I will not clean it up it is little poop and disappears when it rains.
I need a haircut. Starting to look like a shaggy dog. Hum I look like my dog. Not a good visual on that one he has no teeth, cataracts and is deaf.
My son's friend's dad married some ETOH addicted woman. He knew when he married her she was a drunk. She has wrecked their life, alienated friends and family and in so many ways is a liability. She gets in the car and drives. For some reason he is not tossing her out on her ear but keeps letting return over and over again. His own son is ready to give it up. Wake up ! unless she really wants to quit it will not happen.
So I need to go do the dishes and see if I can find that spare shelf for my cup display case it is getting kind of jammed up. I also need to finish painting the common rooms here but have been putting it off. Any one wanna help?
