Tombstone Cooking
Charlie had some interesting stories for us about tombstone cooking. One had the missing headstone of Peter Weller show up after being missing for nearly 150 years show up in a home – and it was used for making fudge! Learn more here.
Another tombstone belonging to Utah grandmother Kay Andrews (97 years!) is remembered by a delicious fudge recipe. Do you see a fudge theme arising???? Get Kay’s sweet recipe and more detailed instructions from PopSugar.
