As if it weren't bad enough already......
I am an idiot. I made fudge for freaking stupid Darwin. TWO POUNDS OF FUDGE. And if that didn't scream PSYCHO-STALKER loud enough, the HAND-MADE LOVE NOTE should. I found some quote online and it said something along the lines of: "We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love." IF THAT DOESN'T SCREAM PSYCHO-STALKER I DON'T KNOW WHAT DOES.
Ugggghhhh......why am I suddenly acting and feeling like I'm 8 instead of 18!?!?
I'll tell you why.
It's that damnedMass-Marketing Valentine's Day. It somehow has the power to turn even the most sensible person into a drooling MORON. I wasn't that sharp to begin with, I'm telling you that.
Oh, and the cherry on top of this mountain-sized DAY OF FAIL?
Conners said that Rome assimilated other cultures during his lecture. ASSIMILATED!?!?!? Could he have not picked a worse word!? Of ALL the words in the entire English language, he has to choose the one word that has the power (besides, of course, "pineapple") to send me into unstoppable peals of laughter. I WAS CRACKING UP LIKE AN IDIOT FOR ABOUT TWO FULL MINUTES. Right. Next. To. Darwin.
So not only am I a psycho-stalker, I also am a Trekkie in the WORST WAY POSSIBLE.
BUT! There was a shining ray of light in this awful day.
I came home. And my cats were happy to see me. :)
And for those curious:
Ingredients:
Also needed: wax paper, cake pan (roughly a 7x9 pan)
Cut enough wax paper to fit in pan.
In a saucepan and over low heat, melt the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and salt. Stir constantly to avoid burning the chocolate. After it has all melted, remove from heat and add vanilla extract.
Pour mixture into the pan. Spread evenly into pan using a baking spatula or spoon or knife or something similar.
Chill in refrigerator for two hours.
Yield: 2 pounds*
*This is a surprisingly small amount of fudge. To be safe, I usually make one pound more than I need, just to be on the safe side.
