I’m sure that in certain “specialty” sweet shops one can purchase chocolate anything to eat. I’m equally certain that Jerry knows just where one is. What I’m not certain of is just exactly what Jerry would like to eat in chocolate.Are all the children in bed?Leaky, we miss ye!
C’mon, Joy, you know you’d eat anything with enough chocolate on it.(Ok, you guys, pipe down.)(Maybe that’s the secret of… no, never mind!!)Marg, I agree. He’s got an image in mind, and Ma can read him like a book.And Mikie… right you are.I am very hard to shock… but a few years ago I went to my first modern-day “bachelorette party,”and there were chocolate “lolliops” (plus plastic straws and cutlery, a cake, and various chintzy party favors) in shapes I didn’t expect at all, especially as the guests were mostly young adult friends of the bride and their mothers!
In re Jerry’s comment…true story:When I was in about 2nd grade, a little friend tried to explain to me about Easter. (I’d been brought up with Easter baskets full of jelly beans and chocolate bunnies, with dyeing eggs and all that — but not the religious significance.)She showed me a coloring book with a picture of Jesus, that said “The Lamb of God.” And she told me that was why they had lamb for Easter dinner….and they got one of those cakes I had always coveted shaped like a lamb.I was totally confused. I asked her why they wanted to eat Jesus.She was so startled she ran home crying… not my intention at all.So for years I asked that question, and mostly just got eye-rolls in answer.Can’t say I understood till I was grown!
Good Mornin’, I would guess that’s Ma Darwin’s house (more frills and hers with no his). I have many molds for chocolate and there was a time when I was always decorating cakes for parties and such (no bachlorette) I never made any in poor taste- My worst was a cake for a retirement party with a guilloutine and mushrooms growing around the base (It had a lot of symbolism for those of us in Zenith’s construction group). My favorite chocolate molds are little square boxes with tops and bows that can be filled with ice cream or small gifts.
Title 4, United States Code, Chapter 1, Section 4(i): “The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.”
I would love to find star bunting in really good silk and linen fabrics (because I used that as part of my registered coat of arms) and I like finding the fields of white stars on blue, but I use no stripes (just an umbrella cockatoo on red in the position they call “close”.

I’m glad they haven’t come up with a chocolate design for Mother’s Day.

How exactly do you tell it’s an American flag if it isn’t red, white and blue?

Who’s place are they at and is the candy dish filled with decades old Jolly Ranchers?

Back to the strip, I liked today’s rather well hidden Find-It.

It was no more hidden than usual in my NSHO.
