My Post

Amy has been doing all of the posting on here, and has hinted many times that I "should feel free to post something."  I'm going to take that as a sign to put something up.  Since Amy is keeping everyone up to date on what's happening in our lives, I thought I would just post a random thought, so here goes...

Easter is soon approaching, and that means it is the season of jelly beans.  I have always been curious as to how the jelly bean was developed.  Was it a glob of jelly that got overcooked and then dripped into a bean shape when trying to can it?  Not sure.  I'm sure Wikipedia has some info on it though.

Anyway, my main musing is on the spiced jelly bean.  I'm not a big fan.  I know that they are my mom's favorite, but I think that candy of any sort should be sweet, not spicy.  OK, there are Hot Tomalles, which are delicious, but that's because it is cinnamon.  That I like.  But you can keep the rest.  

Then there are those "OTHER" flavors.  You know the ones I mean.  They aren't sweet, and they aren't spicy.  I'm talking about things like buttered popcorn and peanut butter.  Who comes up with those ideas!?  Just stick with the fruit flavors, PLEASE!

Happy Easter all!
