I fail at fudge, but I've come too far to be denied now. I will try again.

As soon as I get the burnt sugar off the bottom of the pan...

EDIT: Deleted previous entry. Can't leave the house after all. Fudge is a needy thing.

Sorry Brian, I tried to throw a semi-surprise party for you, but ended up handling a lot of strange calls and falling sleep most of the afternoon and all of the evening. I didn't forget about you, how's sunday night looking?

My sister makes fudge in the microwave. I think she has another recipe for burn-proof fudge involving marshmallow creme. I can't remember where she got them, though.

Ariel's grandmother's microwave fudge recipe should still be on wiki if you're interested in a recipe that doesn't involve sugar in a pan. All the more power to you for making real fudge, though.

Yeah, I considered looking it up, but I'm stubborn when I fail at something - especially something that ended in food being thrown out. I'll probably try it as an alternative next time.

That and I don't have sweetened condensed milk on hand.

I don't havemashmallow creme on hand, and am honestly not sure where in the store to look for it. The burning turned out ok, though - once I got down to the blackened carbon crust, I started trying to clean it with isopropyl alcohol.

Then I decided, "Hey, I could light this on fire." Any ordeal that includes a "foomp" like that on purpose can't have been totally wasted.

Hey, you live in Phoenix?

Yes?

I have a tournament in Tempe next month. Trying to figure out if I know anyone in the area.

I don't have much floor available for crash space, but I think I could definitely drag my boyfriend out to an event where people shoot things. :D

That is, if I didn't already miss it...?

Nope, it's the 28th and 29th, at ASU. I'll almost certainly have a "holy crap I'm so not ready for this" post in the week leading up to it if you need a reminder.
