Jalapeno On A Stick

Ahhhh the picture says it all. Seafood and chowder. There used to be more of these bastions of light and hope across the land, but this picture is of the only one that has survived the years and times. I always loved going to Skippers, their clam chowder is divine, and there is fries and fish like halibut to boot! Now though, I must travel many miles, to the only one remaining, in Orem. Definitely worth it though.



So...... As you can see the object in the picture, it appears to be a harmless sucker. Wrong. It is NOT a sucker in any way, shape, or form. It is merely chocolate. On a stick. I learned this the hard way. And oddly enough, if my memory serves me right, this is a lesson I learned once before. So upon sticking this "sucker" into my mouth, the chocolate quickly melted in my mouth and became liquid, quite thick too, and there was a lot of it. Which in turn forced me to choke and sputter out some of this liquid chocolate onto the carpet. My brain made the connection as I was coughing that "This IS NOT A SUCKER. WHY are you eating it like one? WHY?" So then I simply ate it like any other chocolate bar, take a bite and chew. Later that day I found something odd on my shelf - dried chocolate. I immediately looked elsewhere. Not only did I cough it out and onto carpet, but it ended up on my shelves, my weights, my glasses, my camera battery, my scriptures, some papers, and my XBOX 360. In conclusion: JUST BECAUSE ITS ON A STICK DOESN'T MEAN ITS A SUCKER.



Last but not least a picture of some doves. When I was little I used to go dove hunting with my father, only a few times. Now and then some will frequent my backyard like these two did the day I took the picture. Wonderful thing about doves is that they mate for life. Cute little buggers.
