The absurdity of daily life with a lout of folly I condition myself to deal with daily stealth and the Grace of God.

For the Love of Fudge

So today my daughter and I did 4 fudge recipes. I keep seeing more fudge ideas on Pinterest. Wish to do them all, but for a lot of reasons: time, money, calories, not the most healthy of diets, sadly I will give up my fudge dreams…

Going beyond the lowly basic chocolate shown here. A few of the “so many options and so little time”. morsels I would greatly desire to make..                        

Peppermint Oreo fudge

Popcorn Vanilla Bean Fudge

Mocha Coconut Fudge

And you never thought you would see the day:

Pistachio fudge

 

Last but not least: Watermelon Fudge. Hey, 4th of July will work for this one?

 

 

 

That awkward moment when you do not know what to write for your status on here for rushing off to do what you do not want to do.

bare bug facts

If you were to take a quiz would you know the answers to these facts if put into question mode?

1. One out of four animals is a beetle.
2. A mosquito’s perfect target: a blond haired child running around in dark clothing and eating a banana.
3. Dragonflies can fly sixty miles per hour.
4. There is an average of 50,000 spiders per acre in green areas.

Love your neighbors.

5.There are 4,300 known species of ladybugs in the world.

6.The walking stick is the longest insect.

7.A fly can react to something it sees and change direction in 30 milliseconds.

The one that got away.

8.The average airspeed of the common housefly is 4 1/2 mph. A housefly beats its wings about 20,000 times per minute.

9.Cockroaches can live over a week with no head. And if that is not bad enough:

10.A female roach can have 30,000 offspring at a time.

Look on the bright side; I have read that if you consume those roaches you are protected from MRSA.

The meal of my dreams and plenty to share.

Christmas Crafts

Do I really need more ideas for Christmas when my house is already consumed by crafts made?

They call it a Nerdy Christmas tree. I call it amazingly creative.

I found this idea on a blog with the title “Nerdy Trees.” Last Christmas when it was down to the wire with like 1 day left. I fell in love. It was too late to fit it in so I marked it on Pinterest for the next year, which happens to be this year now.

We never get a tree. I usually just put up small decorations which includes crafty small Deco. trees in the mix of all the bows and glitter.

But when I saw this , I knew I had to do it. “Hey, it’s free and done with my favorite thing in this world : books.”

This year as I was GOING to get this ACCOMPLISHED,  I went to the link I had pinned it from,”Nerdy Trees.” Then through that web address I found where this original idea came from. (Hey, this is my kind of creative person here. And they did not say it was nerd like either. lol)

So it took me about an hour, but I did the book tree. (Wow my kids to their credit have not knocked it over yet-though I have had to straighten the books about 2 x.) When I get a bright day through the window, I will take my own photo of our little tree. but for now…..

Mine is not as tall and wide, since I to my mortification I have less books which did not really matter; the space I had to put mine in is way smaller which necessitated some changes.

Here is the photo and link for the standard of this tree.

Do not know which jelly fish this is ,but am thinking it is a very poisonous one -Not too much unlike all those pretty colorful South American frogs you want to take home until you touch them with bare hands.
