My mother hears this phrase and other similar ones fairly frequently. Often, I find myself at the grocery store, trying to figure out what to make and unable to remember something essential...so, I call my mom.
My mother taught me to cook. Ever since I was a young girl, I have been at my mother's elbow watching her cook and helping her. As I became more confident in my cooking, I would pore over her cookbooks, give her a grocery list and make dinner for my family with her guidance. I owe the majority of my knowledge and skills to her teaching and example. I find myself still turning to her for advice and help.
The most recent question I had for my mother was regarding our family's hot fudge sauce. I had a huge craving for it but I could not remember for the life of me as to whether it was condensed milk or evaporated milk...so, I called my mom! It is a very simple recipe and delicious over ice cream. We used to make it on Friday nights for a quick chocolate fix! I took the photos a few weeks ago and my mother keeps asking why I have not blogged about it yet, so here it is Mom. Thanks for the advice!
Hot Fudge
(adapted from Marvelous Mocha Pie)
3 oz unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1. Bring chocolate, sugar and butter to a boil over medium high heat.
2. Gradually add evaporated milk and cook until thickened.
3. Cool and add vanilla.
P.S. Nothing this time. Short post, tired Ginny!

Yum, now that is good stuff- homemade hot fudge sauce. My husband's mom makes this around Christmas time and serves it warm over peppermint icecream!
Thanks,
Sharona May
Beautiful! Your mom reads your blog, that's so sweet :)
I hope you get some rest :)
You're so lucky to have a mom who cooks! Mine doesn't -- so it's more likely she'd call me for a recipe.
Screw the ice cream, just go at it with a spoon.
That fudge on ice cream looks so good!
Hi there Ginny! I love family recipes and this one is lovely - my girls would devour the fudge sauce on it's own, never mind the ice-cream!
Thanks for coming by my blog ;o)
