Christmas Candy

I go in phases with Christmas baking/candy-making.  The last few years I haven't done much.  This year, however, I've been on quite a roll with trying some new things from Pinterest.  One such recipe will definitely NOT be made again - salted caramel butter bars.  Sounds yummy, and they kind of are.  It's just too rich and buttery.  If I cut them in small enough pieces, however, they're doable.

There are two recipes that WILL be made again - they are as delightful to eat as they are to look at! The two winners are:
Salted Caramel Mocha Fudge (foodfanatic.com) 

and Peppermint Bark (sallysbakingaddiction.com).  
The fudge made a whole 11x15 pan, so I'm sure we will definitely be finding people to share with - there's no way our family can eat that much fudge!  And the peppermint bark?  That's for Caiden and me - I'm being stingy with that one!

Surprise!

Well, I sure don't get surprised very often, but Saturday night was a huge surprise to me! I thought I was heading to Hesston for an AGCO Christmas Dinner with Chelan. He told me we needed to drop something off at Ben and Tina's house (my cousin), first. Okay, no big deal! While we were there, Ben said they were about ready to go out for dinner, did we want to come along? Surprisingly, Chelan thought about it and wanted to do it (clue #1 that something was up). I kept saying that we couldn't skip out on his dinner, but Chelan insisted that going to Wichita for dinner would be much more fun. I even said, "This seems like something you had planned!" However, I'm always up for dinner in Wichita, so I agreed, reluctantly!! We enjoyed a meal at Hangar 1 Steakhouse and I thought that was the end of it. But, on the way home, Chelan asked if we could go by the new arena since the inaugural concert was there that night -- Brad Paisley! I thought it would be f...

Choosing Trust Over Fear

I have struggled with writing about the shooting in Hesston - in fact, I wasn't going to post anything about it.  However, for the sake of memories, I decided I should at least touch on it.  It does deserve a place. It just hit so close to home - particularly since Doug was directly involved.  Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty for struggling with this tragedy.  I wasn't there, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and, although I know a few people who work there, I didn't know any of the victims.  And I get to move on with my life with little disruption.  I feel like I am on the outside looking in.   But I guess that's okay.  I didn't have to be directly involved for this to touch me.  My heart is sad for the families of those who died, for those who were injured, for those who witnessed it, for my brother-in-law who will probably replay images over and over, for my sister and my niece and nephew who might sometimes wonder "what if?", for th...
