Heart of the City by Steenz for November 01, 2017

Well, don’t go bawling to Mom when the indoor temperature (buy not touching the thermostat) starts to melt it.

Then you better keep it in the refrigerator. My cousin has a chocolate bunny from 8 Easters ago in the refrigerator. In fact, it’s still there today. Still wrapped in foil.

Save the best for last!

“Chocolish”? Must be a combination of chocolate and licorice. If it were fake chocolate, it would be called “Choco-ish”.

My parents used to give out full size Hershey Bars. Most popular house in the neighborhood. We went to WinCo and bought bulk this year. That way anything left over is a favorite. We have a small bowl of stuff we will actually eat.

Today’s chocolate can be framed and allowed to slowly turn whitish with what is called a “bloom” what with all the preservatives in it. I have proof too. I just found a box of brandy filled nuggets in my mother’s dresser. She moved in with us three years ago. Upon opening, I discovered that the chocolates are perfectly white, while the brandy has completely evaporated. It still smells fine. I’ll use them up when I make banana chocolate muffins.

I remember when those full-size bars cost 10 cents.

Life’s pretty boring, ain’t it?
