A Story of SWEETS

Ooops....I was reading Joni's Morning Coffee this morning, and Oh the Sweets Challenge is on today! I have a handful of sweets...
or a bowl full of sweets!

No, said Jo...come down town with us...I have an errand to do...Ok then Sweety pie baby, let's go!

Here we go!

we saw a lesson on the drums....

we thought about lunch...mm..

but no, a quick stop for refreshments, before we soldier on.....

aha..is there where we want to go?

ah, there's some sweets...would you like one of those , Mum?

No, Ok then , follow me.....

Oh, look where we are!

ymmm...way too many sweets...which one would you like?


we might need some coffee to go with them don't you think?

ah, there's a funny cake!

mmm...what about one of these.....


woo..now these do look irresistably delicious!


perahps you would prefer a chocolate covered nut instead?

or something a bit sweeter.....?


all looks too much for me....I can't decide...perhaps ....


Ah, now these I liked...I liked the way they stood in little rows all tidy like!
It reminded me of the turkish delights I love to make at Christmas in the sweltering Australian summer for my tennis breakups, and for giving away as presents! I love it when I have to cut them up into strips then squares and lay them out on the bench on greaseproof paper under the ceiling fan for the day to dry out before packing them away! I wish I had a photo of them to show you...all delicate pink and lemon and green. I can never resist taking a photo and I hardly eat any at all! I make black aniseed ones too...mm..will be nearly time to make my christmas jellies when I get back home!
Thankyou for coming to listen to my Sweet Story!

The Sweets Challenge is hosted by someone in Australia this time...and I will get back here to tell you in just a moment!

Oh My, I've gained 10lbs from looking at all those wonderful sweets! Wonderful job capturing all those goodies. That's a mighty sweet baby too! Thanks for joining us!

I love Turkish Delights and I haven't had a bite of one since January 1971, right before we left England to come home to the states.
