smokey cotton candy


No it's not a new flavor, I am talking cigarette smoke infused cotton candy. I spent yesterday evening at the Reunion with a Cause and it was a wonderful, heartwarming night. And my friend Monica & I decided to take a trip around the track to check out the other tents & just generally be nosey. It's commonly known that calories don't count on the weekend & when attending charity functions. So when we spotted the "Fresh Squeezed Lemonade & Cotton Candy van [should have been a tip off right there, what more can you expect from a carnival van?] we made a bee line for it. The cotton candy not only smelled like smoke but tasted like it as well. And my "fresh squeezed" lemonade was literally sugar water [that you could chew the sugar granules because they hadn't dissolved] with a half of lemon floating in the top.
Other than the less than tasty treats the night was great. At the end of the night they have everyone line up on the track that is lined with white luminary bags that have been decorated in honor or in memory of someone who has fought cancer. The luminaries are lit, they turn off the field lights and everyone walks the track in silence as a bagpiper plays amazing grace. It's pretty powerful.......




stumble it !
