Since Alex started working at the candy shop a month or two ago there have been many good things that have come out of this. First, she gets a paycheck every other week which she really likes, they work around her schedule of school and softball, she works with friends from softball (and her high school coach), she gets to sample whatever she wants while working and the best part for me is this:
She brings me home goodies like this!
A carmel apple drizzled in chocolate then dipped in pecans! It taste just like a turtle on an apple. She weighed this one last night after she made it and it weighs 2.3lbs!! I have to say they do have the best apples ever and their chocolate is to die for. They make everything there on site and it is always a hard decision on what to get. They also have water ice and ice cream too. They also carry every kind of candy out there going back to the candy we use to eat when we were kids. Remember the candy cigarettes that when you blew in them smoke would come out? They have them along with the golden nugget gum-remember that? I love just walking around looking at all of the candy-it so reminds me of my childhood.
So for lunch today I will have a slice of the apple and try not to go back and have another slice. But oh it is so good. But we all know that the 2.3 lbs of apple, caramel, chocolate and pecans equals about 10 lbs on me. So I better pace myself. She doesn't work again until Saturday so I have until then :)
oh yeah...that could be dangerous!
wow..she's working!! they are getting soooo old.
i wish i were that old again..hee hee

I loved to hang the candy cig's out of my mouth but really didn't like the taste - didn't they turn into gum?
or am I thinking about something else. Do they have rock candy on the stick?
