Life: Idiotropic

Todays day trip plans were thwarted by a bitter, bitter cold - the east wind that Tinny came in complaining about this morning. I was disappointed at a sunny day in, but felt better about our decision after talking to a friend whose husband kept slipping on the water turned ice as he was washing his car.

So, other than cleaning, and doing pre-move stuff here, the only "interesting thing" happened this afternoon when I finally decided to try the candy that I got during December's Spanish night.

Mazalmendra's Cerezas al Licor.

Looked like a chalky black truffle. Very round. It was, in fact, a marachino cherry enrobed in a thin shell with an inner layer of chocolate and a licorice flavoured outer layer. The chocolate/licorice combination is something that I've had before and really like, so I didn't mind that thin shell. The cherry... well, that was a surprise (yeah, the wrapper said cerezas, but I wasn't paying attention!). And I'm not a fan of candied cherries. Yuck. This is one Spanish treat I won't be loading up on while in Spain... but you may get them in your Christmas box! :)
