Rock Candy




We had dinner at Bob Evan's last night. On my way out the door I spied some rock candy. Haven't had any in years so I bought a stick of the purple candy. There were some obnoxious people in line behind us - in a hurry to go nowhere so I quickly made my selection and threw it in my purse knowing it would make a good snack for work today. When my brother and I were little our dad took us to Woody's grocery store in West Carrolton, OH (mostly on Saturday's when mom was working) and we used to be allowed to buy those Indian bubble gum cigars and rock candy. The process of making rock candy is pretty interesting. Click here for instructions.

Funny the thing we remember about growing up. I remember going shopping with my mom and stopping at the "dime" store. Mom bought hot dog sandwiches with mustard and relish. I was very careful as Mom and I stood at the counter eating them so the hot dog didn't slip out the end of the sandwich when I took a bit. It was quite a treat!
