ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

THURSDAY, JUNE 16TH, 2022

The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades.  May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

5 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER

Life is a special 

occasion!

Today is National Fudge day which celebrates a sweet delicious and rich candy.  The most popular is the original chocolate, though it comes in many other flavors.  Some popular flavors are peanut butter, Oreo, marshmallow, nut, maple and rocky road.  Fudge tends to be cut into small squares and has a smooth, soft texture.

The first documentation of fudge was in 1886 from a Vassar College student . In it, she discussed this sweet confection her cousin made and sold in Baltimore, Maryland. In the late 19th century, shops on Macinac Island, Michigan began to sell fudge.  It is still sold today in some of these original shops.  Many other fudge recipes were created and  sold in the 19th century.

Celebrate today by ordering fudge from a local candy shop or make your own at home.  This American treat is made out of 3 main ingredients — sugar, milk and butter.  Add some other ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit to create a unique flavor.  Today is the perfect excuse to indulge in this decadent treat.  

If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side

 

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Avoid any diet that discourages the use of hot fudge.

Dan Kardong

DDIL#3 loves fudge more than any other person I know and she got to go on vacation to where they had lots of fudge shops.  That is what the pictures are of today.  

I do like fudge so will be sure to have some today.  But I can only eat a little at a time because it is so rich and filling.

Today we have a  chance of scattered thunderstorms and our temps are dropping back into the upper 80’s.  Certainly better than the high 90’s for sure.  The Flowers out front will appreciate the rain and a reprieve from the heat. 

I hope you all have a GREAT day.  Happy Thursday!
