So Disappointed in Him

[geminigirl]

My spouse decided he wanted to be responsible for purchasing Halloween rations this year. I agreed...I assumed that he was going to be reasonable about it. I knew he wanted lollipops, and he couldn't find the ones he wanted at one grocery store, so he said he'd pick it up on the way home yesterday. I thought that was fine, and he did. I just looked at what he bought and there is not one bit of chocolate in the Halloween candy.

None. Not a piece.

I think I may need to demand some on the way home.

What on earth? What's WRONG with him!? ;)

[geminigirl]

You should see the IM I sent him. melebeth called him a freak.

Oh I'm sure! Is melebeth also a Melissa, out of curiosity? I'm Melissa Beth.

Yeah for him! Some of us didn't like chocolate growing up! (My brother got all my chocolate, I got all his hard candy & anything peanut buttery :) )

Of course, we give out chocolate, since I've come over to the dark side since adulthood.

Oh, and pregnant women need chocolate. Studies show it makes happier babies!

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, and never have been, but I like a little bit of it every once in a while. And I figured with Halloween, I'd pick out a little bit from whatever we were giving out.

As a child though, the most popular birthday cakes at parties my sister and I went to together (and being only 18 months apart, there were many) were Carvel ice cream cakes. If you've never had one, it's a layer of vanilla ice cream, with a layer of crunchy chocolate pieces, and then a layer of chocolate. My sister wouldn't eat vanilla ice cream unles sit had chocolate syrup on it, so I would trade her my chocoalate layer for her vanilla layer.

Still, I wanted a Milky Way Midnight Mini.

I want to eat your icon.

I scored one of those at the Rheumy's office yesterday. Yummy.

[geminigirl]

They are really good. And I saw a bag of minis when I stopped at the store yesterday and didn't buy them because he said he was getting the candy on his way home.

Carvel chocolate crunchies are the bomb! Man, now I want a Carvel ice cream cake!! Remember the song from the commercials? Caaar-vel iccccce cream...

We used to get Carvel cakes at the Shoppers in Potomac Yard - they were damn good, but nothing like a fresh Cookie-puss from the local Carvel.

Oh and only a man would be Halloween candy and forget the chocolate!

[geminigirl]

Would you believe that we live about 20 minutes from a Carvel right now?

And did I ever tell you about my family connection to Carvel?

[messyjessy.livejournal.com]

NO WAY! I don't think I've lived near a Carvel since I left CT 14 years ago. I am so jealous. Are they prevalent in Florida? I'm going to Sarasota for Thanksgiving, maybe I can score some Carvel there.

And no, I didn't know you were related to Carvel!

[geminigirl]

I don't know how prevalent they are here, but we found one in Atlanta. There's one in Bradenton, but I have no idea how close that is to where you're going to be.

And not related, but my mom's father was a bigwig in the early days of refrigeration and freezer stuff. He worked with Tom Carvel to develop his first ice cream freezers. So, that's the family connection. It's a running joke every time we get Carvel to rub our bellies and say "Mmmm, thanks Grandpa."

he's fired.

And you MARRIED this man?!

[geminigirl]

It must be some weird Canadian thing. I will get chocolate on the way home, I think.

[veryfineredwine.livejournal.com]

This weird Canadian takes a piece of chocolate or two to work every day. Some of us know and understand the need for a daily dose...

[nooks.livejournal.com]

Not even any white chocolate?

[geminigirl]

None. Not one piece.

[aliki.livejournal.com]

WHAT?!? Not even ONE piece!?!? >:/

I know there are some who don't like chocolate, so we got a good mix: we have Jujubes, lollipops, bubblegum, Crunch bars, Kit Kat bars, and Reese's peanut butter. I put about 5 of each in the bowl, and replenish as they disappear.

Dang, dude.

Are you going to file a complaint?

[barking-iguana.livejournal.com]

Why would one want to waste one's chocolate portions on crummy Halloween candy?
