Have you ever been so overconfident of something.............

Posted in Daily Life

that you totally destroyed it???????  I make "healthy" fudge and candy quite a bit.  So I'm now thinking.  how hard is this???  Do I really need to follow a recipe?  I've doctored enough mistakes and floppy recipes.  I should just be able to heat, stir and pour, right???  And then, there was this time this morning making chocolate syrup for my son- without corn syrup!  (WOOOHOOO what a find!)  So while daughter is in the shower, I decide to "throw" some fudge together!  Hmmm............... 

Even after she is out of the shower (and she takes a LONG shower!)  and we're supposed to be working on lessons, I am in the kitchen stirring, pouring, mixing, tasting, guessing, heating, blending.... I think I killed my blender.  (This makes two in one year!  I think I'll tell my husband that I need a viatmix!  It would probably pay for itself!)  At least daughter is working on her algebra but school has gotten postponed!  Here it is lunch time and I am busily making scrambled eggs, frying ham slices, popping bread in the toaster oven.  The kitchen sink is filled with cocoa and honey coated spoons, pans dripping with coconut oil and the cocoa and honey mixture (which never quite reached cohesiveness, I might add!) , and don't forget the  pathetically chocolate coated blender.   My boys are on the computer and playing Knex.  (And now yelling at each other and for me!   )  And I can't even ask my daughter to help me with lunch or the cleaning up  because if she sees that I burned another blender...........  Well, let's just say she is a smoothie addict and the last time our blender broke, it was replaced within the day!  Sooooo...........

We all have bad days.  We are not perfect.  Each day is a new and exciting adventure.  We don't always start each day at the same time or even complete our "to do lists" every day.  But we can enjoy each day, each moment God has given us.  And be thankful for each thing He has divinely allowed into our lives.  And even sometimes, fudge can taste even better with a spoon!  OOps!  Gotta run!  My scrambled eggs are burning!!!!

Most of the time I find that being over confident in something means that God is just about to show me that I shouldn't be so high up!! It's like when I pray for patience...it sure doesn't come in the form I asked!

I have a no bake cookie recipe that I am fairly confident with...and yet, from time to time, I miss the mark, lol!

But, i would love the no corn syrup choco syrup recipe!

I posted a fudge recipe here: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/mtnmamaof4/514686/

But usually it's 1 cup melted coconut oil, 1 cup cocoa powder, 1/2-1 cup honey Stir. Pour into pan and solidify. I like to add nut butters, coconut and dried fruit to mine, too!
