The Cottage Smallholder

i got a recipe froma book someone i used toknow had,for oreo fudge.i have made it three times. the first time i didn't boil it enough, it refused to set,soi stuck it back into a pan and boiled it too much, and it turned into a sort of fudge/toffee mutant that i dubbed todge.

the second timei think it went ok, but i gave it all away as christmas presents. the third time i gave it to the boy for valentines day, and then couldn't eat any of it because i'd given up chocolate for lent.

i plan to attempt the gorgeous lookin recipe that Fn posted on the blog at some point. though when exactly i'll get round to this is anyone's guess.

i do love fudge.

i'm trying to organise a riot for tomorrow if the tories win. any takers here?

I gave up trying to deny being a bit posh a few years ago, when i had to admit that there was a mansion in the grounds of my old school.

I just can't understand why anyone other than the wealthiest 6% of the country (the ones who dodge as much as tax as they can and live half the year in Antigua or Belize) could countenance voting tory.

on one hand though, whoever leads the next government, hung or otherwise, will have to make somany unpopular decisions that they find themselves out on their ears for a very long time afterwards.

And if a deal has to be struck to get a majority then we might get electoral reform, and kiss goodbye to FPTP.
