Well, seems like you missed your life caaling of being a confectionery artist! It is nver too late ya know. Infact I just wrote that . . . regardless of how old you are - the rest of your life is in front of you. But, tsk tsk. Have you ever tried those sea sheel things? YUK!! (The soaps are much better- note that I have not actually tried them - and the Godiva shells - YUMMY about 10 years ago but they seem to have gone mass produced when Kellog/Nabisco/giant FOOd Corp bought them!!) Hmm. SO sorry I was not around then. I had my hands a bit full back then. Viewed in a certain light, I think that was the year I was dealing with being re-moved out of paradise (other people can get sooo grumpy and stressed out about these things), watching the seeds of Cain and Able take root before my eyes, and underseaing the construction of Maslow's pyramid. Not exactly a picnic in the park, but you still had to avoid eing eaten alive by the ants and make it through the day in one piece. Did you know that Ben Franklin did an experiemnt once to see how ants found food by taking a jar (of sugar water or jam I am not sure wich) and tying it to the ceiling with one ant at the party and then watched as in half an hour he (the ant, not Ben) laid down tracks and brought a few hundred of his pals to join him? To cool! - - - Little ws . . . .double us? U-turn, Me - turn, We all turn for ??? OK (did you knom that Okey is a universal mord that seews to have coincident origins all over the morld?) nom I aw intriqued . . . (care to give a hint?) In exchange I mill offer that I also like the b, p, d, q rotation/swap/shift . . . Besides I once pent about 10 hours painting valentine words (like the heart shaped candies) on a couple dozen yogurt covered almonds that I suspect were consumed in less time than it took to paint one of them. Painting by numbers is definelty not the way to go. DO they have edible ink these dasy? Here the Pen is mighter than the Brush! Al (ps I look for the paper too, but back in the old days - only Whitmans cam e with them and there was a reason why - lots of those awful cream filled ones and oozzing cherry bon bons with juice. Oh - ice cream cherry bon bons!! I just remembered how wonderful those were. And PEACH ICE CREAM - the real kind. WHY WHHHYYYY dont they make it the OLD fashioned way anymore???? I loved that when I was 16. If you are picky about filings - remember the first time you had a real truffle filled one??? We didnt make it more than 10 steps out the candy store before we had to go back and buy more. Changed my allegiance from rum balls forever in just one bite. Pps - suddenly my chard of many colors does not seem quite so appetising. I wonder why??? ppps. DO you like EMily Dickinson/sin/san (sp) ? Somehow I get that vibe from you that you might . . . Did you ever see he working notebooks - and the way she put otehr word choices in the margins? Priceless*!
