Carol's Chapter

Friday Nights, Fudge, and Family Games

told by Carol Mae Guild Sutton

Carol recalls Mom making a big batch of cocoa fudge after supper on Friday nights and pouring it onto her mother's hand-painted platter to cool. The family gathered around the kitchen table to play Tiddlywinks, Chinese Checkers, Parcheesi, or Monopoly, then finished the evening eating what Carol remembered as the best tasting fudge in the world.

In the family's own words

On Friday nights, after supper was over, you could find Mom once again at the stove stirring up a big batch of cocoa fudge. When it was done, she poured it onto her mother’s hand-painted platter to cool. Then we would all sit around the kitchen table and play a favorite board game. It might be Tiddlywinks, Chinese Checkers, Parcheesi, or Monopoly. We would finish off the evening eating the best tasting fudge in the world.
