Chocolate. Yum. Caramel. Yum. Put them together. Yum! Gooey and delicious. I can’t think of a better afternoon treat.
This Christmas Beautiful Girlfriend got something cool in her stocking. My father or some other elfish person slipped a box of truffles in there. Unfortunately BG does not eat sugary treats, so this may work out in my favor if I play my cards right. Maybe I can trade her my Ernie Kovacs DVDs for the truffles. After I watch them, of course.
What goodies did you get this year?
The people at ThinkGeek have done it again, coming up with a great creative product just in time for the holidays. This is genius. Good job, folks!

When I was a kid my mother would never make sweet potatoes like this but sure enough Beautiful Girlfriend’s family does it right. What a great Thanksgiving. I hope you all had a good holiday with family and other loved ones.
Singer/songwriter Kina Grannis recently produced a music video for her song “In Your Arms,” which featured 288,000 jelly beans. Pretty cool stuff. The first part of the video reminded me of the opening of the movie Juno, but the rest of it made me remember Peter Gabriel’s video for “Big Time” “Sledge Hammer” with all the stop-motion animation. Kina Grannis and her producers did a great job with this and I applaud their successful use of candy. Very creative, and surely delicious as well.
I went to Target on my lunch break today and saw that Ritter Sport was on sale. Should I get some? Who wouldn’t want this? I also bought a birthday card and a box of wine, but I think the thing that takes the cake is this chocolate. Go out to Target and get some of this stuff!
Thank you, Virgin America, for including a little chocolate square in Beautiful Girlfriend’s in-flight meal. Of course she gave it to me. That’s just how sweet she is. I am a lucky guy.

Earlier the post-Halloween candy bowl at work was brimming with goodies. Now it’s just the Tootsie Rolls that are left. It makes me wonder whether candy companies do market research by seeing what people eat and leave alone in offices.
This is a good article about how to manage candy consumption among children at Halloween time. It is a fun celebration and candy is a great part of the fun, but the young ones might need some help rationing it out.
