Buckeyes

I have received a box of buckeyes - milk chocolate enrobed dollops of peanut butter - that I will be nibbling on over the coming days. Twenty four in total. At present, I'm down to 22 (and worried about it). I've seen some beautiful things in my life, but - really - don't these take your breath away?

Those buckeyes remind me of Christmas at home in WV. Mrs. Treacy would always make a batch for me when I came home for the holidays. Savor them!

ok, since i don't feel like searching it out- what is treacle? doesn't it involve unusable body parts molded into a "meat" product? i think i am going to throw up a little...

I looked it up, because I'm still feeling a bit intellectually stung from the whole Descartes thing.....

From www.recipes4us.co.uk, "Strictly speaking, Treacle is the British generic name for any syrup made during the refining of sugar cane. Therefore, theoretically, Treacle, Black Treacle, Molasses, Golden Syrup and Blackstrap are all treacles. In practice however, there is a technical difference between “treacle” and “Molasses” in that molasses is obtained from the drainings of raw sugar during the refining process and treacle is made from the syrup obtained from the sugar."

Buckeyes....c'mon Marian, you should know a thing or two about buckeyes.

Intellectually stung? I feel intellectually paralyzed. What in the hell are you people talking about?

Teresa - Allow me to loop you in...

So Descartes walks into a bar for a drink. After his second round, the bartender inquires, "Have another?" Descartes replies, "I think not." And then he disappears.

Do you get that joke? If not, get in line behind Vivian.

Oh, and I'm down to 20 buckeyes.

Is there a hint of something philisophical there I should understand?
