I really should get in the habit of reading all the posts before I jump in, lol, but sometimes I have the attention span of a gnat.

That's okay...Rush loved the phrase and ran with it for weeks on his show...
You're a wonderful military wife and mother, mystery-ak. God bless you too. :)
Stop talking about fudge...its making me want some...:-)
It doesn't take that much time and while you wait for it to set you still have the pan...lol
in this case, remember the alamo has been replaced by "remember mogadishu"
Isn't that right...I am sure those guys were cheering the whole time they were shooting.
Thank you Chena....I am just so happy tonight....like I said...I have been waiting a long time for us to return to Somalia...and so have our GI's....I can't wait to tell my son...he has always been interested in Blackhawk Down...My hubby met Mike Durant last year and got him to sign the book for my son....btw Durant is a big Bush supporter and advised everyone at the time to vote Repub or they would be sorry if the rats got in in Nov....
I'll make you some Dog...lol
HERSHEY'S COCOA FUDGE
2/3 c. Hershey's cocoa
3 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
Thoroughly combine dry ingredients in a heavy 4-quart saucepan; stir in milk. Bring to a "bubbly" boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring to 234 degrees (soft ball stage). Bulb of candy thermometer should not rest on bottom of pan.
Remove from heat; add butter and vanilla. DO NOT STIR. Cool at room temperature to 110 degrees. Beat until fudge thickens and loses some of its gloss. Quickly spread in a lightly buttered 8 or 9-inch square pan; 3 dozen squares. Pig out!
Yep, saw that about the special forces. bump!
Thousands a minute is easy. A 7.62 minigun rate of fire is around 6,000 per minute! It was the thousands per second I quibbled with.
Just saw the same rate of fire mentioned on FOX news. Seems no one researches or thinks anymore, they just repeat.
Why don't I just buy some..:-)
My memory comes and goes but one thing I do remember now is you and the malt balls :o) Have some leftover fudge from Chritmas I'll be glad to send you.
