Dec. 30th, 2002 09:40 pmTonight, I tasted euphoria.
We went to this carnival-style thing in downtown Miami tonight - it's called the Winter Holiday Town and there's about 40 rides, some carny-games and the usual junk food. As I couldn't go on any of the rides (although Harry loved everything but the Really Big Ferris Wheel) I amused myself by people watching and later, by trying something I'd never had before, in the food section.
You know how candy apples - the kind covered with the red lollipop-style covering - are one of the most amazing foods in the universe?
Well, imagine that kind of covering on...
Strawberries. On a skewer. Covered with a not-too-thick layer of that red lollipop stuff.
I had eight. And I have no words to describe their utter amazingness, in a not-totally-junk-food way. Crunchy, sweet, tart and completely, truly, delicious.
And I will likely never have them again. But they will live in my heart for all eternity.
see what happens when you can't have champagne or margaritas for two years?
