Don't feel like making a topic for this but does @adjl or anyone have a good fudge recipe?

Thinking of making some penuche fudge but I might go with plain ol' fudge

Fudge is great but if I eat a piece of it I have to wait at least two years before I can try another piece of it

Mix some chocolate chips with some condensed milk and butter, heat it up on low (or a double boiler for best results), pour the mix into a baking pan of some sort (preferably with some wax paper or something), then let it cool in the fridge

Is it that easy? I remember my great aunt using a candy thermometer, which I don't have, but I was gonna sorta wing it anyway

There are more complex recipes out there depending on what you're going for, but that's a good simple fudge method.

My grandmother used to use peanut butter

Thanks dude I'll give that a shot. Planning to make some for Christmas but I might make a test batch this weekend.

Fudge is one of those things I've been meaning to take a proper stab at for a while, but I never seem to get around to it. The one batch I've tried seized up before I got it into the pan and ended up with a weirdly gummy texture to it, which I think means I didn't get it hot enough. I should really try again.

There are kind of two approaches to fudge. That's the easy way, which produces a perfectly serviceable result no matter how many snobs might tell you it's "wrong." The hard way involves boiling the mixture to a certain temperature to change how the sugar behaves, then letting it cool to a certain temperature without disturbing it, stirring it vigorously to force the sugar to crystallize while making sure those crystals are small enough to give a smooth texture (a similar principle to how ice cream is made), then letting it set the rest of the way. Many would say that gives a better product, but there's much less room for error.

If you want to try the hard way but don't have a candy thermometer, an instant-read meat thermometer will do the job just as well, provided it can read temperatures up to 250F or so (you only actually need 230-240). Just be very careful not to touch any of it. As obvious as that seems, the mixture's going to be well above boiling and has a nasty habit of sticking to whatever it hits (this is true of all candy-making, though fudge is very much on the low end, temperature-wise), plus it's thick enough that it may end up bubbling unpredictably, so holding your hand close enough to it to use a meat thermometer can be a little risky.

On thanks adjl for responding to my question I've been leaning towards getting a candy thermometer but I'd probably only use it a few times a year do it's one of those things I can probably do without

Lard is the fat rendered from all fatty parts of a pig, but especially the fat surrounding the kidneys, inside the loin, and fatback. It has almost no flavor and is often used in baked goods such as pastries. Bacon grease is the rendered fat from bacon and has a strong flavor. I use it for sauteing vegetables, especially Brussels sprouts (though I usually render it myself).

inside the loin

This is without a doubt my favorite trans meme so far

Honestly it doesn't really help if you have a plan, if half the country is going to actively go against it.

I'm not blaming any one person or entity, just thought it was funny.

But Biden definitely seems to have lost some of his sense of urgency. Lost some of his backbone. I think he's playing it too safe trying to appeal to moderates and not drive more of a wedge between the two parties but it's sorta pointless because that fucking rift is there and it's not going away any time soon, regardless of how forceful he is with his agenda.

But don't get it twisted. Biden is still 100x better at being president than Trump was. But that's a low bar. A burning bag of shit would make a better president than Trump

@MeadCore Trans rights are human rights!

Also, I can't find the best meme I've seen all year, but is my fave that I found last year!
