Your Ugliest Paysite Creation Find: Round Two.

[El Diablo]

Most of Dot's lamps I don't like.  They look clumsy.  And the pastel recolors on that one set were awful.  But I did like this last one.  I think it shows more effort to be honest.  The others usually strike me as "I throw premade shapes in my meshing program together and It be LAMP!"  And, those ones that looked like a footrest with an animal head on them were just... weird.  But this latest one actually looked like she was really trying. 

Oh, agreed about that cat head thing she did. I'd like some of what she was smoking when she decided that was a good idea.

But, to each his or her own.  *shrugs*  I don't care if you like them or not, El Diablo.  Just as long as you don't break into my house and load my sims game with all her lamps.  Then, I'll be irritated.   

It's a deal! If I did break in, I'd steal that fudge recipe of yours. I had it once and made a batch that disappeared before the day was out, and my dearly beloveds keep nagging me to make it again. Only I can't remember what I did with the recipe. Howz about it?

Fudge recipe?  Is it one where a diabetic could substitute sugar for stevia or something?  I'm crazy about fudge and cookies and other sweets and would love recipes that allow for substitutions - unfortunately, my recipe, while frightfully -easy- uses sweetened condensed milk.

There's this wonderful fudge shop on Pier 39 here in SF...their vanilla caramel fudge...nom nom nom. Alas, I have put myself on a diet. I'm cutting out sodas, sugary snacks....replacing snackage with fruits and veggies. It's hard to stick to that when you're poor, however. The bad, fatty, sugary foods are at least cheap...

 Some of Dots older lamps are ok, I think she got lazy for a bit.

Speaking about sugar, I downed a 2lb chocolate bunny today. I would worry about getting fat but I think I might die from sugar over load first. I see pretty colors o.0

Whut? A bag of carrots is way cheaper than a box of cupcakes. Apples are cheaper than chips, especially considering how filling apples are compared to chips. I regularly make a bean and carrot chili that feeds my boyfriend, who's a big guy, and me for at least 3 days, that costs like $6 total. The pre-processed, fatty, salty stuff is far more expensive than fresh food.

The only way I'd eat a carrot is if it was made out of milk chocolate. 

The only thing I remember about Darqstar's fudge is that it was ridiculously easy to make and it disappeared like a snowball on a hot stove. I can't believe I didn't store it on my hard drive with all my other can't-miss recipes.

[SoggyFox]

The only reason I'm not eating fresh veggies right now is my jaw - hell, today I can't even manage what I've been eating, all I can think is I've overdone it.  And carrots?  Only way I'd manage those is cooked to mush and that's just gross.

Easy, breezy!

Microwave Fudge Recipe
3 c Semisweet chocolate chips
1 cn Sweetened condensed milk
1/4 c Margarine
1 c Chopped walnuts (opt)

The walnuts are optional of course.  I usually throw in a cup or two of marshmallows. This makes the fudge puff up something crazy.  If people are not alergic, I put in pecans instead of walnuts and call it "Rocky Road." 

Place all ingredients except walnuts in large microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave on Medium until chips are melted (3-5 minutes), stirring
once or twice. Stir in nuts. Pour into well-greased square baking
dish 8x8. Refrigerate until set. Cut into squares.


Sorry, no diabetic, sugar free version.  I don't know what you could do for the milk.  I know there is sugar free baking chocolate out there, and you can add Splenda, but I don't know anything you can use for the sweetened condensed milk.  I suppose you could try evaporated milk, but I don't know if that will do it.  And I don't know where you can buy "unsweetened condensed milk," and I don't know if it would work if you could buy it.  Maybe if you added some splenda or equal to it. 

[SoggyFox]

That looks like my recipe   It is tasty - ever try heath toffee bits?

And evaporated milk makes a thick fudge icing.  I accidently used it once.

Thanks for the recipe, Darqstar. It looks easy and easy baking/cooking is all I do. 

Mmmmmmm fudge.

It doesn't get much simpler than this.  And the fudge is never grainy either.  People always rave to me "You make the best fudge!"  I haven't the heart to tell them that it really isn't a huge project.  Whenever I make fudge gifts, people think I worked for hours, just for them. 

[SoggyFox]

The beauty of fudge.  And folks do like getting it, and its not even that expensive to make a pound or three.  Its how I handled christmas this year for my sisters and their family.

[El Diablo]

That's the stuff, that sounds familiar. Many thanks, Darqstar.

No problem!  Hope your family enjoys it.

Dot still doesn't seem to understand the word torchiere.  " A usually tall floor lamp with a bowl-shaped part that diffuses the light or directs it upward."  UPWARD!!



Fail.
