I hate to think of what other flavors they've come up with over the years.

So, Twizzlers are now a Hershey-owned product line. 

I wonder why the chocolate is not so readily found.  I shall check out the lay of the land here re Twizzlers when I'm at an appropriate store.

If it's here, I'll try it.  But I will for sure pick myself up some black and red.

Well, gang, that's all I got this morning.

It's a gray and drizzly Monday.  And Monday is trash day.  And I should get busy on some things.  And so it goes.

TOD:
I love most licorice, but I especially love these very bitter licorice candies from Italy that are sold in tins like Altoids. Dark with only the natural sugar of the licorice root, they're like licorice on steroids. That said, I really dislike the mint version. Mint and licorice don't mix successfully, IMO.

I can't copy a picture on this phone. But here's a link to some of the licorice candies.

Monday morning greetings!  Sneaked on earlier to wish DR Elmore a happy birthday, but this is my "official" start to my HHW day.  After last week's busy-ness, including yesterday's trip to Cincinnati with Sharon, I'm looking forward to a much calmer week and am starting very slowly today.

First task:  balancing my checkbook and Mom's.

I like both red licorice and black licorice, although I guess I prefer red. I don't think I've ever had chocolate licorice. There's a little mom-n-pop store in Carmel, up in Northern California, that sells about 20 different flavors of licorice. (They actually have a town ordinance that forbids any chain stores from moving in there, so all the stores there are mom-n-pop stores. The town retains its quaintness and charm that way.) Anyway, my dad always takes me and my sisters there when we visit and tries to get us to pick out something interesting, but for some reason, none of their flavors have ever enticed us. Instead, I usually get one of their gigantic dark chocolate peanut butter cups.

My trip downtown was an easy one and I was there in 40 minutes.  it was getting home that was hell.  the 23rd Street crosstown bus makes a detour at Fifth Avenue down to 14th Street, crosses to 8th Avenue and then returns to 23rd Streey.  It took me 90 minutes to get home.

I like the story that Charmian Carr told in her book about residuals.....

Her sister - Darlene, I think - was one of the singers who recorded the group numbers for the kids for The Sound of Music. 

Each time it was on television, Charmian and Darlene got identical checks for their work!
