LOL, I don't like Jalapeno peppers, they taste too much like poisonous green peppers. I'll take habanero or ghost peppers instead. Cyan is wonderful.

When I was younger and could take the intense heat, I made hot mixes. Loved cracked black pepper in everything. I even put hot chili powder in my oatmeal once. Probably why I love cajun/creole so much.
Thanx, LOL, now I'm jonesin' for some hot trail mix!

OT: I just picked up some Hershey's Mini chocolate bars, 100 grand minis and more York peppermint patties for my bowl.
More Swedish fish, laffy taffy minis, cherry sour balls and maple nut clusters.
I also got a bag of jelly beans and a bag of Hershey kisses.
I found Bottle Caps so I bought them too. Been a long time since I had some bottle caps.

Anyone remember the Milkshake & Zagnut candy bars? I wish I could find them locally. The grocery store carries Zero Bars. The dollar store has a bag of caramel turtles I might buy next time? I also love English Toffees.

I don't buy anything online if I can help it. No Trust, if ya know what I mean?
Still, if I did, I'd be looking for it on amazon or ebay first.
I'm not saying I have never bougt online but a zagnut is not worth compromising my card security over.

When I was living in Missouri there was a specialy store which featured long gone soda pop and soft drinks. That was pretty cool cause I found Cheerwine and Vernors and old root beers and sarspirilla there. In my hometown there was a distributor who made home deliveries from the Saegertown bottling company. They had wonderful soda pops and I especially liked their cherry, orange and grape creams. Their birch beer was fantastic!

I have a large collection of flavoring syrups too. I can make some really good mixed drinks with or without alcohol.
I'm a desserts guy. I make desserts to die for.
My GF tells me "Yer Tryin' ta make me fat!", I just laugh and say "Yeah, But...Its so freakin good!".

Ants because if i left candy in a bowl on my table it would be full of them within 5 minutes. If i left a bowl of bakers yeast it will be swarming with ants.

Gateway timeouts yet again.

Its been awhile and the contents of my candy dish have changed.
Still have the staples; mini Milky Ways, mini Hershey bars, mini Fastbreaks and mini mounds bars.
Recently I've started stocking Motts Real fruit pouches, yogurt raisins, fruit jelly slices, Milk Duds, Andes mints & mini York peppermint patties.

I'm also currently on a plain potato chip/Dorito/Frito with homemade onion dip kick.

Ya take a tub of sour cream and mix Lipton onion soup mix into it.
Also works great with fresh veggies. I'm partial to the mushrooms and the celery.
