Why do some ask Owls that question? Hoo cares and STFU already says all owls — I read that.
I’m still confused — Is that a decimal point or comma above? The world may never know.
Happy Father’s Day to all great Dads in Heaven and on earth — Life is sweet because of y’all.
Don’t knock the Horehound Drops, they’ve got history — Today they’re mostly spotted in old fashioned candy shops. Look… Horehound Drops, hahaha. I’ll have you know that it was my Great Grandmother’s favorite candy and will forever remind me of her. I love seeing them. Aside from that, others appreciate its purported health benefits. Though an early valued herb, mysteries about the Horehound are still being uncovered. What’s that slutty dog up to?
I remember this story as a kid — Not sure that’s appropriate as I stumble upon and read it now, but I guess it was harmless. No Baby Ruth’s. My three favorites would be Butterfinger, PayDay and Bit-O-Honey. What story do they tell? And which three would you choose?
Do you remember Orange Guy? I thought he was so cute and wanted to peel him alive. Well, I gave it a try and created Orange Dude, if you see what I’m sayin’ — It just happened that way. The photos are minimized to tone down our rating. Enlarge each for a better peek. 😉
What excites me most here are these Orange Jellies I made for the first time — They are absolutely delicious! I will soon be posting more about them, along with an easy recipe adapted from another. All pictured utilized one glorious Orange. It’s a sexy, sweet thing.
Print this photo and tell the Theater it’s okay to bring in Candy, but don’t tell them I said so.
‘Pick out all the Candy you want’ is what I said to my Chef Nieces, Baliee and Lexi from Kids in the Kitchen — It would’ve been a dream come true for me as a kid. I still love Candy and Cost Plus World Market has the best selection, if you don’t know that already!?
Come with me and you’ll be in a world of Pure Imagination — A song superbly sang by Gene Wilder in one of the most magical movie clips ever and appropriate to this post. Cost Plus could be a modern day Willy Wonka. Today it was.
I think I would have picked out way more Candy than they did, hahaha, but we did end up with a good cross-section of nostalgic, imported, mainstream, unique and extreme Candy, which was fun to try — On a rowdy sugar high we dumped the tub of Old Time Favorites over Chef Lexi’s head. It’s raining Candy. 🙂
We had a great time trying the Violet Mints, Candy Buttons, Mango Gummy Candy, Ginger Candy Chews and various small imported Chocolate Bars. And we enjoyed having a couple nostalgic favorites, like Chick-O-Sticks and Bit-O-Honey. The Toxic Waste Candy pictured below was ridiculously strong. They do call it ‘hazardously sour Candy’ and you can tell by the post-sampling expressions.
We haven’t yet tried the Bean Boozled by Jelly Belly. We’re afraid and may need to host a Jelly Belly Fear Factor Game later — Stay tuned for that when we find a couple brave volunteers. So far all asked say no way José.
Note: Photos for this Candy Taste-Off were taken at the Bella Terra Cost Plus World Market. If going to the movie theater nearby, we suggest stopping in Cost Plus to get the Candy — Shhhhhh. So sorry, theater Candy prices are gouging and I buy the Popcorn.
Not sure if you can tell from this photo, but a big chunk is taken out of the bottom of this package. It inverts about an inch and a half. We already know that we’re paying more for less these days — But to me, this type of shrinking package is sneaky. I don’t respect it. These Licorice Pastels are from BevMo. And they’re not that great tasting either, since they’re soft not crunchy.
