   The purrfect Christmas wish. And I second the thought. For the Orb, and the rest of the world.

   My neighbor is on a similar diet. I’d search the internet for alternative recipes for EVERYTHING. You might be surprised what you find. Also, see if there are support groups for people struggling through this diet. I wish you all the best. And remember, 90% of cooking is following instructions. The other 10% is imagination.

   The last food I bought, that my girls wouldn’t eat, I dropped off at PetSmart. They donate those to animal shelters in the area. You can also buy food and other supplies and leave them there for donation. So tough to have a restricted diet for just one of your babies. I think you did the right thing though.

   I’m going to make some Yorkshire pudding, just not for the holidays. I’m going to try my hand at it as soon as we get some more beef stew weather. I’ll have to use muffin pans instead of the yorkshire pans the experts use, but it should be fine. I imagine it will be yummy with all that beef stew goodness.

   It’s a simple fudge recipe. 12oz dark chocolate chips. I used Ghirardelli 72% cacao. 3/4 cup of butter, 2 cups of sugar, I used swerve brand granular sugar,3/4 cup heavy whipping cream 7oz marshmallow fluff. and about 2 tablespoons of a raspberry syrup I had. I got it in the aisle next to maple syrup etc. If I were truly going as low as possible on the sugar smuckers makes a no sugar raspberry jam. Not sure on the amount to use, but i’d guess the same 2 tablespoons. Line a 13×9 dish with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.Large pan over medium heat, melt sugar, butter and cream. stir constantly until sugar dissolves and butter melts. bring mixture to a boil, still stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes. remove from heat and stir in the marshmallow fluff and the chocolate chips. Then stir in the raspberry syrup.Work quickly though so the fudge doesn’t start to set in the pan. Pour into the prepared dish and smooth.Then place it in the fridge for about 2 hours.

   After it has set, I place a cutting board at least the size of the dish, on the table and lift out the fudge, placing it upside down on the cutting board. Then just remove the parchment paper and cut the fudge into the sixes you prefer. Store in the fridge.

   This can also be made with white chocolate if you prefer. Also, there are no sugar chocolate chips, and baking chocolate, out there. But I opted for a premium dark chocolate for the pure indulgence, and they were BOGO LOL.

   So, as I said, it is about as easy as it gets. As long as you can stir a pot. I use a tabletop burner so I can sit, otherwise i’d never get anything cooked with my back.
