We now have our wonderful grandbabies (T&M). Needless to say they are keeping us very busy. We have some good pictures and hopefully, I can figure out how to post them in the next couple of days. We have pix of horses too.

In answer to a comment on Chili Bake, the idea of using it as a stuffing is an excellent idea - I will definitely try it.

We made cupcakes for T&M and made a Fudge Frosting. The recipe is very good and easy. Here is the recipe - also one for Caramel Frosting.

HOMEMADE FUDGE ICING
In a large saucepan, stir together:
2 cups sugar 2 heaping tablespoons cocoa
1 stick butter 1 cup evaporated milk.
Bring to boil. Boil for one minute. Add 1 tsp. vanilla.
Stir in, 1/3 at a time: 1 pound of SIFTED confectioner sugar
Stir until smooth. (I use a hand held electric mixer), work quickly, icing thickens as it sits.

CARAMEL NO-FAIL ICING
1 stick butter ½ cup evaporated milk
1 pound light brown sugar 1 tsp vanilla (add after icing is cooked)
Cook on moderate heat until boils; then cook only 2 minutes. Put in mixer and beat until consistency to spread. (2 minutes)
