Hey I like a candy or sweet treat tie in as much as the next guy, but this new vampire trend is really not working all on levels. Seriously? She looks like a walrus.
Hey candy folks,
This is the first time I've ever seen this ad for Beech-Nut Gum. Man is it not politically correct.
Now I was going to write about the new Tim Horton's Strawberry Shortcake cookie but I have a bone to pick with Tim Horton's. I've noticed a complete lack of organization when it comes to your special treats. I'm seeing different special treats at different stores, and I'm seeing old "special" treats on the shelves and advertised as regular. I used to like a simple monthly special treat, but now it's just confusing. Maybe it's the branches I visit, or maybe it's a lack of organization, but Tim Horton's, please make it stop.
So I just heard about this new Extra Professional gum and I was wondering whom I could ask that would know all about sugar, teeth, and those sorts of things. Then I remembered that I had a dentist appointment and figured Dr Archibald would be the perfect person to ask about this new gum.
It's a pretty good time of year to celebrate sponge cake because of the abundance of fruit available right now. Nothing is better than a slab of sponge cake covered in strawberries or raspberries.
Yup, it's been a while but I figured it was about time that I posted a new review. I also figured what better review to post than one that reminds me that I have to go work on my garden. Fortunately for me I did the review before working on the garden because had I seen the real worms and then had to eat these realistic gummy worms I probably would have had a very different opinion.
Last night I went to a great Greek restaurant (my favorite style of food by the way) called Aroma Meze and had a spectacular meal. Best of all, unlike many Greek restaurants they offered more than just baklava for dessert. We got a mix of three tasty treats that just blew my taste buds away. The first two (pictured above) are nice subtle custard cakes, one was a nice layered lemon cake and the other a custard covered with phyllo dough. The last desert pictured with the nuts on top was just so intense. It was basically a lemon yogurt with candied pecans on top. The first bite was so sour in the good way. With the candied pecans to balance the sweet and sour, each bite after just got better and better.
Soft ice cream is so versatile and really allows for so many cool treats. Sure a cone is fine, but soft ice cream also makes it possible to have such yummy treats as the one pictured above.
I came across this box of "Yummy Dough" at my grocery store the other day and I was almost tempted to pick it up. Then I remembered how grey and gross my Play Dough got after I played with it as a kid and I wondered if eating it after would be more fun. I decided that it probably wouldn't and passed. Also, isn't Play Dough already "safe to eat"? I mean it can't taste that bad right?
Above is a picture of me eating an ice cream cone, it's the only picture I could find of myself eating anything even remotely close to custard. My goal today is to try and find a custard treat before the days end so I can celebrate this auspicious holiday.
The folks at Caramilk have just informed me that 5 gold keys are gone. That means 5 people have the chance to hold the Caramilk secret, and one of these 5 people might get an e-mail from me with a better offer to give up the secret.
I love the look on this guys face as he does his Baby Ruth magic. He seems more amazed by the trick than we should be.
