Mustards for Christmas??

[RICHARD]

Jenn,

I am going to stop reading your threads.


The absolute best effing thing about doing something like that for your dad is spectacular.

I have ended up with gifts like that that I have used WAY AFTER Christmas and had myself a great time thinking about where they came from and what that person did to make them.

One year a couple of gals in a office made me a tin of cookies to say thanks for the work I did for them. I kept the tin and when I look at it I remember the thought and the work.

You just ahve to worry about a call and the complaint about how good they were and the heartburn they caused.

Get over your bad self!

It took me a few minutes to figure this thread out. First I read about fudge and then mustard. I was trying to figure out mustard flavored fudge and being thin or thick. I was so confused. BUT...now I get it. I never would have thought of anything like that. You'll have to let us know what your dad thinks!

This is too awesome for words, Jennie!! Can I be in your family? Such a great idea. I would be beside myself to get gifts like that. The mustards sound delicious!! This is the most thoughtful thing I've ever heard of , by the way. Not only is food a great gift but a food that is custom made for the person....... INCREDIBLE!!!!!

Those sound YUMMY! I am going to have to save those and give them a try.... especially the blackberry one!

Dad’s Favorite Fudge
(Hershey’s Fudge)


3 c. sugar
2/3 c. cocoa
1/8 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. margerine
1 tsp. vanilla


Butter a square 9x9 inch pan.

Combine sugar, cocoa and salt in medium sized pot. Add milk, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a full boil. Boil without stirring to soft ball stage = forms a ball in cold water.

Add margerine and vanilla. Stir lightly, then let sit.

Cool to room temperature. Beat fudge until thick and looses it gloss. Spread into prepared pan and cool. Cut into squares.

A visit to the Mount Horeb mustard museum has been on my list of things to do for years. Your dad will have to go too, and while he's at it he can bring me some of your mustards so I can try them

What a great thread and a wonderful thing to do. My Mom loves a good mustard so I'll print off these recipes for later.

I remember years ago I made "potted shrimp" for my Dad and it was a real hit. It comes from a book called "Food as Presents" and I think I still have it.

I'm always so grateful when I receive a homemade gift of any kind. It tells me that the person really put thought and effort into it and personalized it. You've really outdone yourself w/this gift, Jenn. I think it's fabulous!

[Freedom]

Awesome idea! Even better that you can follow through and MAKE these things, gosh that is a real talent! Great job!
