Smelly Jelly Belly!
The editors fanned out across Chicago this weekend to give can shakers raising money for Misericordia's Candy Days. We must say the candy has made a comeback. Some years ago it hit it's prime, with pure milk chocolate lolipops from Fannie Mae. Then it went to some anonymous stuff a la Lions Club generic life savors(tm). The last couple years it's been Jelly Bellies, but rather than the standard variety pack, this year they gave out special mix bags: fruit salad or fudge sunday (chocolate and vanilla jelly beans) It washes away the bad memories of the generic years, just as Monz headed back to Bistro 17 "for takeout -- another turkey club to wash the memory of Jeff's away."
One more blogday before Monz takes over! What will he blog?!
