Recently I found a brown-paper wrapped package in our mailbox. The return address indicated that it was from my friend Terrill Welch—the inspirational force behind Creative Potager.
Gingerly cutting away the outside wrapping, I discovered a decal-decorated inner package with the following handwritten messages:
Precious cargo
Caution—contains addictive substance
Handle with care
There is no going back
Open carefully
Ever so cautiously I removed the inner wrapping and much to my delight discovered two boxes of PANDA All Natural Raspberry Licorice.
Pandas are black and white; raspberry licorice is red, hence the blog post title—I crack myself up!
For those of you who’ve known me for any length of time, you’re aware that the ensuing cartwheels and Snoopy Happy Dance were a spontaneously-combusted result of red licorice being my all-time favorite decadent indulgence!
What indulgence best satisfies your sweet tooth?
