Pros: super quick and easy, pantry staples
Cons: minimal ingredients means you need better basic ingredients

Tools: double boiler or double boiler rig if being fancy; glass bowl in the microwave will do in a pinch.
spoon, 8x8 square or 9in round pan or something similar.
some foil, parchment or plastic wrap to line the pan

Basic Recipe: 3 minute chocolate "fudge" treat
2 c semisweet chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 T vanilla

line baking pan and set aside
empty can of milk in your double boiler, add vanilla, stir in chocolate chips stir until melted and combined
pour warm mixture into your prepared pan
chill in fridge until firm

Voila!

Options
2c chocolate chips substitute milk chocolate or bitter sweet chips
1T vanilla substitute mint, rum, almond, cherry, or other flavoring
stir in: other chips! like white chocolate, peanut butter, caramel or crushed candy like mints, toffee, mini M&Ms. Nuts and or dried fruit or crystallized ginger would also be yummy to stir in
I'd you are doing a stir in ingredient, you add them after everything is melted but sill in the pan.

The Museum of Stones in MInsk Belarus - Crazy ancients. I love it.

This is the Town Hall - it used to be infantry barracks, but in 1999 was rehabilitated and now is surrounded by parks and new community areas. Seems like a lovely quite place to visit

This is a very popular post card from Brazil. I have received 3 or 4 nearly identical. :D I"ll have to post the stamps on the next one.

Wow! Monument by Fritz Roed in Hafrsfiord commemorating the battle that the first king of Norway won that unified his control of the country. The 3 blades represent the three areas King Harald took control over.

Look at all that Cheese! They tiny thumbnails are just enough to make you want more! I was checking out the official web site and now I do wonder what it feel like to be a beer bottle...

the official name of this temple is Wat Phra Chettuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Ratchaworamahawihan but is also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. I'm checking it out to see why the Buddha has eight feet.

I like this stamp!

Another lovely cathedral this time in St Petersburg. The dome of St Isaac's Cathedral is poised behind the Chariot of Glory on the Arch of the General Staff - Such a great roof top view in this card. You normally don't get this perspective.

the water is fine! Waikiki is a very popular tourist destination on Oahu. Check out the beach!

Funny card from the Little Rock area in Arkansas - this was a movie set. Can you guess which movie?
