This post is semi-un chicken related. That was a weird sentence! I did get little Hazel put outside Monday night. Her foot has healed very well. The top is just a tiny scab now and the bottom you can see is a straight line kind of looks like it closed up like that. She tore her bandage off in the carrier so I just let her go free in the run. She started to talk when I set her next to the coop. I had to clean it out first. She shook when she got inside and walked all around, happy to be home. She acts like a normal chicken again! I still think she's cold in this weather, being a Silkie.
Onto the unchicken related talkings....
I received my typewriter ribbon in the mail today and thought I had successfully installed it but now I think I'll have to get it looked at. It seems to want to come off the thing in the middle. I am very technical with names here. Anyway, I'm excited to finally have it to type my recipe book.
Which led me to thinking about some recipes to include. I had completely forgotten about a hot fudge sauce that I made a couple years ago. It is thick like Dairy Queen's but not as fake goopy tasting. When I made it I stored it in an empty Bonne Maman jar. I love those little jars with the red + white gingham tops. It made me think that it would be great to have a few of those full of chocolate sauce when guests are at your house and serve it with local vanilla ice cream (wherever you can find that) Or make your own!! I'm all about cute-sy and party accessories + things. Even a buttermilk ice cream which I've never had before sounds really delicious. Maybe a sorta-tart sorta-sweet frozen yogurt with the rich hot fudge sauce! You can also spike it with rum which is really good on top of ice cream. I must really want ice cream because I keep talking about it. Dad and I were supposed to eat at Zaharako's yesterday but they were closed for maintenance. I would have definitely got a sundae there! 
Here is the Hot Fudge Sauce recipe, they call it sticky fudge sauce, it thickens up as it sits
6 T heavy cream
1/3 c sugar
1/4 c cocoa powder (the best you can find!)
1/4 c light corn syrup
2 oz unsweetened chocolate
2 T butter
1 t vanilla
Bring cream, sugar, cocoa powder and corn syrup to a simmer. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add chocolate and butter and stir until they melt. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Makes about 1 cup. *Add in a few tablespoons of rum*
