Do you come to this bar often?

Today is another 12+ hour work day, but at least the second shift can be done at home, so there's no one to care if I have a glass of red wine next to the laptop.

Food Network cake challenge is on in the background-- interesting but I've never seen a cake on one of these shows that made me think "Yum, I wish I could have a piece." And isn't that the point of cake?

Time to go turn the crank. With luck, only another couple of nights left in the quarter close.

MMMM....

Ah, yes, what I have learned to refer to as Stealth Nuts. I have on co-worker who has been known to dive across a room as I'm about to take a bite of something screaming, "Nooooo........"

BTW, a website for you: www.vermontnutfree.com

Chocolate! Not cheap, but pretty good and guaranteed safe. Went there this summer. (Actually, next time you're around Lake Champlain, it's on South Hero Island. Even with those Vermont-style signs telling you where every business is, it's hard to find. My brother and I thought it was corporate offices,at first, but when we went in, it was the factory and store. They do most of their business mail-order, though. (We could see people packing up Priority boxes in the back.)

I discovered Vermont Nut Free last year and have since started sending holiday candy out to Denver for my sister and my niece, both of whom are majorly allergic to peanuts and all forms of nuts. (My allergies aren't as severe--I can eat nut free candy made in a factory that also produces nut products, but they can't.) My niece Mary was amazed that such safe candy exists, and I'm sure that she's looking forward to the giant chocolate bunny I sent for Easter.

Oddly enough, jennifer_dunne's Dad was the one who introduced me to Vermont Nut Free candy--his firm does their insurance.

I stumbled upon them by accident, or rather, my mother did. But she, of course, always forgets they exist at birthdays and other such times. I can also eat things that are made in factories that have nuts in them, like plain Hershey Bars. I can also eat peanuts. (Of course, as legumes, they do not actually speak to the Dreaded Almond.)

Mmmmm.... chocolate bunny.....
My brother, who is aware that Nuts are Bad, looked into the case and said, "How do they do crunchy cups?"
"Rice Krispies," I said. The woman smiled broadly and nodded. My brother, of course, went, "D'oh!"

"Oddly enough, [info]jennifer_dunne's Dad was the one who introduced me to Vermont Nut Free candy--his firm does their insurance."

So, six degrees of separation rears its head again. I wonder what their policy looks like? Because a Disgruntled Former Employee would need smuggle but a single walnut half into their factory to wreak havoc and let loose the dogs of lawsuit.

Luckily all their employees are gruntled because, you know, chocolate!

[jjschwabach.livejournal.com]

Yes. They all seemed fully gruntled, and their appearance did suggest some sampling of the wares went on. But who could work in a chocolate factory and not give in?
And now they can get married, too.
