December 5 2009 Photo(s): Candymania Part Deux

Well here is some of the finished product getting ready to be shared with friends and family near and far. If you are one of the lucky ones you will get some. If you come to visit me, there is a good chance there will be some here. If you have had the pleasure of tasting it, you know it is good. If you have not, you don't know what you are missing. Click on the second picture and make it giant...your mouth will water :)

Fun fact #1: I grew up with my mother making this candy every Christmas. We always called it Mom's Famous Candy and I assumed it was her recipe (not that she ever said that). I saw an almost exact recipe in a cookbook once - someone must have copied hers. Right?

Fun fact #2: This candy was the favor at our wedding. My sister made 14 or 15 sheets of it and brought to RI in a separate suitcase on a plane all the way from Georgia. Can you imagine if they asked to inspect that suitcase? HAHA

UPDATE FROM PILLOWGATE: I have made 5 calls to the General Manager of the hotel...she has not called me back! Does that mean I can call the authorities on her? Or maybe the owners of the hotel?

11 April 2009 Photo: S.W.A.K.

Today was supposed to be tax day at our house but the day got away from me and they did not get done. The days are few between now and April 15th so I better get moving. Since I do them on line these days, I can't S.W.A.K. (Sealed With A Kiss) them on the envelope but perhaps I can attach this photo to send along to them. Here's hoping the NY State does not screw up my taxes for a third year in a row - S.W.A.K. NY State!

Update 4/14/09 Taxes are SWAKed and sent!
