Over the past several days, I have read the Chronicles of Narnia (7 books).

I am not impressed.

They all, for the most part, seemed terribly contrived and transparent. By the middle of the book, generally, you could tell how the story was going to turn out. It makes it not much worth reading the second half, except to find out the exact details.

'The Silver Chair' was simply awful, 'The Last Battle' was worse. 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' was probably the best book… although none of them were really good.

The stories are supposed to be an allegory for the Biblical creation story and all. I can see that. But I think the Bible does a better job of telling it (and makes it more interesting). Sorry, C.S. Lewis.

Christmas time again. And that means…

MORE DELICIOUS FUDGE!

Every year, since a few years back, I make fudge when it gets cold. I get a can of sweetened condensed milk and heat it in a pot with chocolate chips. When that's all melted together, I pour it into a 8″ or 9″ square pan and wait.

THEN I GET FUDGE!!!

Each pan makes 16-25 smallish pieces. But it's very rich fudge, so one or two pices are enough.

Last night, I got fudge supplies. I will be making regular (chocolate-chocolate, I even got chocolate sweetened condensed milk) and chocolate-peanut butter, both of which are 'ordinary'. But I also got white chocolate chips, for white chocolate fudge, and some walnuts for chocolate-walnut fudge. Mmmmmm!

16 * 4 = 64
( 64 - whatever my aunt eats ) / 3 = Still a lotta fudge!!

YAY FUDGE!!!

Blogs R FUN!
