Fudge, trains, and weddings?!

Well the last batch of fudge is finished. Giving fudge as a parting gift to wedding guests is a fun fall idea. Me making it is a lot of work. This is my absolute bar none, favorite recipe. Anyone who knows me knows I have had a lifeling love for maple, so I miss buying cheap syrup at the open market in Ottawa (although it looks more and more like that will be a frequent thing again!). This is a touchy recipe, but it makes velvety gorgoeus fudge that cuts beautifully and the flavour is perfect. It is not cheap to make but it is worth it.

We lucked out on a collectors item of Thomas Train. They were selling working display models off at a store and we got this for a song. Thanks to Auntie's hawk eyes. Joshie was thrilled, but he was too rough so I had to spirit this one away for now. He is going to have a vehicle extravaganza this birthday. He will be in his glory this year, and there is nothing this kid likes better than being the centre of attention.

I am swamped with stuff with the wedding so close, I need to pick up stocking for one child and myself, then I *think* we have everything, just need nails done. I will likely be sitting at Mia's this eve packaging all these little boxes. Fun!
