Turkish Delight Continued
Happy New Year all my adoring readers.
That’s a bit of a strange statement if you ask me. Not that you did or anything; just putting my thoughts out there
Anyway.
The reason I think that’s a strange statement is because the New Year isn’t really new. Matter of fact it’s yesterday’s news and has been since sometime in the middle of the year before so by the time the new year DOES finally drag it self to the podium and announce itself to the world we’re already looking eagerly ahead for the next year.
Hopefully 2006 isn’t too distraught over not surprising anyone.
So all this last week I was playing hostess to one of my best friends which was enormously fun though I am pleased that I have my room back again; no offense to her or anything but my room has always been my little nest of my collection.
Not only that but I shook off my brother today too, he’s back home so I won’t have to bother being nice and watching what I say out loud and how I say it… and finally the Television isn’t making some weird sound with one his knew games; I’m shocked and cautiously happy.
I wish I had more to report than this pathetically short entry but I’m afraid that nothing ever happens to me; I lead a very dull existence…
But one thing that I find to be amusing is that while my friend was here we went to Costplus: World Market –well I got my two little sisters a bunch of their gifts- and there, while looking over the candy and chips from ‘all over the world’ and there, next to the Tokyo Mix and the Pickled artichoke hearts I see a small brightly wrapped sweet that catches my eye (little raven that I am; anything shiny and bright makes me stop to take a closer look) so I bend down and grab a corner of the wrapping and hold it up to the light.
It was a Turkish delight.
I bought it and opened it eagerly at the counter while my mom and my friend were splitting their purchases from the others. When I pulled the purple wrapper I saw my first surprise: I had always thought that Turkish delights were supposed to be covered in powdered sugar. This one was coated in milk chocolate.
I wasn’t bother and lifted the sweet to my lips and took my first.
I don’t know what I was expecting but it certainly wasn’t what I got.
YUCK! This thing was disgusting! It took a lot of will power to not just spit it out on the shiny floor.
I struggled to swallow the little nibble while making strange, disgusted noises that drew my mom’s attention she asked what was the matter so I thrust the little sweet at her.
Her reaction was even better than mine.
She spat out her nibble and started yelling –loudly- about it.
I had finally managed to swallow the bite just as mom put the Turkish Delight into the garbage, barely a bite taken out of it.
So… now I know what a Turkish Delight tastes like and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone unless you like hard but squishy jelly coated in milk chocolate.
And that closes this entry, I hope that my faithful readers enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy what remains of your holiday break.
