Yesterday, our office manager sent us this simple and amazing email:
"Marisa Shreve sent us a box of peanut butter fudge! No picture, no card, just FUDGE!"
Are you serious!? Peanut Butter FUDGE! Let me tell you, it was pretty amazing. You could taste the love- except for Marty. Marty is incredibly allergic to Peanut Butter, and so even inhaling it is cause for alarm- and also, death. So when it comes to the fudge, Marty is a wet blanket, but the rest of us? Muy delicioso!
Take that, scale! Britt stared longingly at the fudge, but is completely devoted to her diet and would NOT give into temptation. Me? Who am I to turn away a delectable gift? I had 24 pieces- but, they were little pieces! Marisa, your gesture is tremendously appreciated. It's been a crazy couple of weeks and that was an awesome present! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Ted was glad to be back in the good ol' US of A, and nothing says freedom like a mouthful of scrumdidlyumptuous peanut butter fudge! Since you didn't send us a picture of you, I'm printing your picture up and framing it on our wall myself, we are honored to place you on our wall. As for the rest of the team? Well, here are a few words of thanks:
Karen: That was so thoughtful! Who doesn't feel appreciated when someone sends fudge? Thanks, Marisa!
[girl]Ashley: Indescribably amazing! Many thanks!
Yvonne: Very good! Thank you so much, Marisa.
Jaime: Mmmmm peanut buttery, sugary- almost made Trevor's head explode!
Ted: It's like a party in my mouth! An awesome, peanut buttery party. I Liiiiiikeee!
Ps. You didn't use batch 2111 of PeterPan Peanut Butter...did you? DID YOU!?

You're welcome! I'm glad you all liked it. It's a family recipe and it's kind of famous around here. I make it a several times a year but my mom makes a few batches every month it seems.
I'm so sorry Marty couldn't try it. I'll have to think of a different treat for him. :)
Not to worry about the peanut butter, Ted. I'm a Jif girl. :)
When it's all gone, back to the weight loss thing!
(And thank you all for putting up with our griping during the rollout.)

Yummy. Nice job Marisa. I made cookies, but forgot it was Ethan's snack day at school and he took them to school. I'll have to make a fresh batch. Maybe I'll wait a week for all that fudge to settle.

Now how in the heck did I miss this peanut butter party? AND I was in the office? Huh?
That's OK. I've somehow managed to gain 6 lbs. since we started our "so-called" weight challenge. I can pretty much look at sweets these days and they end up...well, you can guess the rest!
