Bring me Fudge - Part 2

R. Linda:

Fudge Day 11: FINALLY I get this: "Well I really should have taken a picture of the fudge in the container before I got it ready to ship. Beautiful!!! The last slab was sooo thick. I put it on top, it was fresh. BUT it's so damn heavy. You'll have a chocie pancake when it gets to you. And like I said before, if it doesn't crumble, you can lick the box. On it's way at noon, my time. I hope it gets there real fast."

I be thinking to meself, hum, how much does this weigh NOW? I wrote you back and said, "I maybe walking around holding me belly up because it will weigh a ton. Not a pretty picture, a tall skinny guy with a large tummy." And I secretly know that image makes you laugh. I can't, no matter how hard I try, visualise 8 1/2 pounds of fudge. I just can't.

Fudge Day 12: The fudge pacy keeps getting heavier. I get this next from you: "HALLELUJAH!!! I just got back from shipping off your chocie!!! Now, as for how it will look when it gets there, LOL I packed it in a plastic BIN, when it was weighed with the fudge, bubble wrap and parchment between the layers -- 10 POUNDS. There is a jar of chocie honey. And something else. The fudge is 3 or 4 different flavors. I don't remember which I sent you, I was sick of fudge by that time. So you got some of each. I know I sent almond flavored, cinnamon flavored, orange flavored, and I think cherry. There are no nuts in any, I was afraid they'd get rancid. You want nuts? You put them in LOL. I think weight ten pounds more than when I started this fiasco. Needless to say, I couldn't find a box so I got one at the UPS store. I know where to get boxes now. Not there, but at the friends costume shop. I've got the tracking number, so I'll let you know where it is in February LOL. Just kidding. The girl at UPS did say it would get there December 21. I told her that was too long, the fudge wouldn't keep. So hopefully you'll get it soon and you won't be sick of fudge in 2 days."

Oi, oi, oi! This is January!

Fudge Day 13: You write me this: "I sent you the REAL thing. LOL SLABS FOR YOUR ABS!!! LMAO or SLABS for your FLAB!!! It'll get hard before you eat it all, so give it away if you have to, but at least take a taste of each chunk and see if you can tell the difference between each. Ok?"

UH OK. I be thinking how mean you are to think you can fill out me wash board abs with fat. Methinks you enjoy torturing me.

Fudge Day 14: Not to out do yourself, you write: "Right now I can hear the fudge calling me. LOL JUST A LITTLE TASTE. And anyway why do I need to see my feet? LOL It'll just take me ten years to get rid of the extra tonnage. Must be nice to have the metabolism of a race horse. Must be nice."

WELL IT WAS.

Fudge Day 15: This made me wonder about the fudge: "I think I'd better stay away from the fudge. I just had a piece and almost pushed me over the edge into nausea. Nah just air."

Uh oh.

To be continued.
