Last year someone asked me to remind them when the garlic festival was
going to be this year but I don't recall who. :-( So I figured I'd
post it.

What: Hudson Valley Garlic Festival

When: This weekend (always the last full weekend in Sept)

Whe Saugerties, New York

Website: http://hvgf.org/

I'd caution anyone to go early as it does get very crowded.

If you go, try the garlic ice cream. I did last year and surprisingly
enough it was *good*!

Darn, darn, darn!!! Why couldn't it be closer to us? I would really
love going to this. We are into the food fests but have plans for that
weekend <sniff>.

And easy to make, i first ran across it at the California "Gilroy Garlic
Festival" and was a bit dubious till i tried it, now i am a convert,
having always been a garlicophyle (if such a word exists) i bake a
couple of heads of garlic, mash it all up and add it to a gallon or so
of softened vanilla ice cream. Re freeze and then serve.

I often serve it with and avocado sauce, avocado just pureed in a
processor with a bit of lemon juice and s & p. One time i had a jar of
humus and no avocado and tried a bit of the humus on the garlic ice
cream, it was actually rather good.

I tried Elvis Presly's supposedly favourite sandwich once, mayo, peanut
butter, bananas and potato chips on buttered white bread. He liked his
pan fried in butter but i just assembled the ingredients on un toasted
white bread and was rather impressed with the flavour combination. As a
child i often put potato chips on a tuna sandwich.

Don't know where you heard that, sweetie. Elvis loved peanut butter and
mashed banana sandwiches prepared like grilled cheese on buttered white
bread. No mayo, no potato chips. But hey, enjoy yours your way if you like
it. Can't be any worse than peanut butter and that marshmallow fluff
stuff - fluffernutters?

(laugh) I bought some of that a few weeks ago ... I don't know why.
It's interesting stuff. Weird how it reforms itself after you take out a
spoonful. Now what to do with it? It has a recipe for no fail fudge,
what the heck, maybe I'll make that.

I must have seen a reference to it somewhere, I looked for it in the
store. It'll be by the peanut butter, right? Silly girl. Then some time
later I was looking for something else, and what do I see? Fluff.
I think it was by the ice cream toppings.

Who can fathom why stores put stuff where they do? I am looking
for chopped walnuts to make Carol's aunt's sour cream cookies. You
know, a bag of chopped nuts. Where would you look for that? In the
aisle labeled nuts of course, silly. Well, that's just great, if you want
cans of honey roasted nuts or cocktail peanuts or David's sunflower
seeds. I can only think they must be somewhere by the produce.
BAG O NUTS people. Geez. (laugh)

Did you finally find the walnuts? In the supermarket I frequent, there
are nuts in 4 different areas! The roasted, salted nuts etc. are in the
same place as the chips and pretzels etc. There are some packaged nuts of
a particular brand (mainly raw, plus dry roasted almonds) in the same
area as health foods. There are bulk nuts (sold by weight), and bags of
peanuts in the shell, and some other large bags of nuts in the fresh
produce section. Then there's the largest area of nuts - raw ones,
blanched ones, slivered almonds, those chopped walnuts! etc. - both bags,
and some small snack packs. These are all in the same area as the dried
fruit. Maybe your chopped walnuts are near the dried fruit, too :-)

Um. The fudge recipe doesn't contain peanut butter! But what the heck?

It actually makes some kind of sense, at least in the stores I go to.
What were you going to do with these nuts? Bake cookies? What's the
main ingredient for baking? Flour! So look in the baking supplies, or
where it says "flour".

(laugh!) And I did just that. I did find toothpicks, I remembered I
was just about out of them. No nuts.

You nitwit! (laugh) I bought the fluff to go with peanut butter, that's the
only way I've ever seen it used. I haven't the vaguest idea why on earth
I wanted to buy some. And such a large bucket of the stuff it is, too!
That's why the fudge recipe looked like a possibility, but now that you
mention it ... why not peanut butter in it. Hmmm.

It was a long time ago and i think the recipe was in something called
the "White Trash Cook Book" however i could be confusing personal
memories of peanut butter and mayo with the Elvis sandwich.

I recently bought some garlic roasted peanuts that i am thinking of
making peanut butter with them. Garlic peanut butter just seems so
obvious to me.

That fudge recipe is to die for! Try it! It's really a no-fail thing and
doesn't require baking.

And they are sooooo good! Very rich, though.

I've never had a fluffernutter. Then again, I don't really care
for marshmellow cream, except in fudge.

I have a friend who won't eat a bologna sandwich without a layer
of potato chips in it...

I love boiled green peanuts and sometimes they are done in a spicy brine
that contains garlic as well as hot peppers down in South Carolina. Can't
see any reason not to make garlic/pepper PB unless you are feeding children
LOL I can buy dry roasted "Cajun" peanuts down here, too. Darn, now I may
have to go buy a bag!

That's so funny, of all the people here, you are probably the last
person I would think ever even had the fluff fudge, never mind
liked it!

I'll be making it, for sure.

Sure, for you, anything. But, can you get Fluff north of the
border?

Never Fail Fudge

5 cups sugar
1 large (12 oz) can evaporated milk
1/4 lb butter or margarine
12 oz marshmallow fluff
1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup walnut meats (opt)
2 12-oz packages semi-sweet chocolate pieces

Combine first five ingredients in a large
sauce pan, stir over low heat until blended.

Bring to a boil over moderate heat, being
careful not to mistake escaping air bubbles
for boiling. *Then boil slowly, stirring
constantly for 5 minutes.* (to soft ball stage)

Remove from heat, stir in chocolate, vanilla
and nuts until chocolate is melted. Pour into
2 buttered 9X9 inch pans and cool.

Yield: Approximately 5 pounds.

I can get Chinese 5 spices peanuts, garlic peanuts and red bean
peanuts. While the garlic peanuts are lightly flavoured with garlic i
think i will buy, roast & grind my own peanuts and then add fresh
garlic to the peanut butter.

I cant seem to find commercial peanut butter without the hydrolysed and
hydrogenated oils.

When I was a kid, I'd eat a half a pan of this fudge, no problem! I
remember going to the mall with my friend when I was a teen and stopping in
the candy shop for buttercream chocolates, 1/4 lb. and eating all of them.
I wasn't fat. I think I used up my sugar/sweet lifetime alottment before I
turned 20 because I can't stand sweet stuff now. I don't even put sugar in
my coffee.

Here's a fudge recipe for you, that's based on the fluff but has a PB
layer as well.

1 c peanut butter chips
1 c chocolate chips
2 1/4 c sugar
1 7-oz jar marshmallow fluff
3/4 c evaporated milk
1/4 c butter
1 t vanilla

1. Line an 8" square pan with foil for super easy fudge removal.

2. Measure PB chips into one medium bowl and chocolate chips into a
different medium bowl.

3. Combine sugar, fluff, evap milk, and butter in a heavy bottomed
saucepan (3 qt). Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until
mixture comes to a boil. Continue to boil and stir for 5 minutes.

4. Remove from heat & stir in vanilla.

5. Pour half the mixture (1 1/2 c) into the PB chips and stir until
chips are melted. Quickly pour into foil-lined pan.

6. Pour the rest of the mixture int the chocolate chips and stir until
melted. Pour over PB layer and spread till smooth.

7. Cool completely - resist temptation! - and serve.

This recipe comes from my BF's mom. She makes it for him every
Christmas; I got fudge-making lessons frm her last year so i can carry
the torch from now on.

walnuts and such are usually in the baking aisles here. roasted salted
snacky nuts are usually in the chip/soda aisle.

I've never tried just onion on a peanut butter sandwich, but since I was
a child I've been eating peanut butter and tomato sandwiches (I'm now
55). As a kid, we usually had onion on them, but now they *always* have
onion on them. Cucumber on peanut butter sandwiches is yummy also, and
needs onion equally. Salt and pepper is also good on both.

I make multiple batches of this every holiday season. No one ever
guesses that it isn'e "real" fudge, and it's so much easier - I've
never been able to make real fudge. One tip: if you are at altitude
(read "Denver", e.g.) cook the milk mixture for about 6.5 minutes,
or it will never set up. Also, I use half your amount of butter, and
it's just fine.

One more suggestion: I use dried cherries instead of nuts. Yum!

Hey Jude ... (sorry, I had to say it) thanks for the great looking
recipe ... I just printed it out, and when I get through the fudge
I'm making today, I'm going to make your version. Thank you.
