If you've got rabbit friends and/or want to butter up Santa's reindeer, this one's for you:

Okay, I just picked Spiced Meringue Nuts so I could do a Letterman-style joke: The holidays are so festive this year that I saw a squirrel in Central Park putting meringue on his nuts!

I had the same thought about the "spiced meringue nuts". I guess it's a good thing we never made meringues when we lived in that one apartment with all the squirrels.

ReplyDeleteI'm not going anywhere! Just getting rid of "Gourmet." :-)
