harry & david

my mouth is watering!
it's beyond that! my taste buds are SCREAMING for more chocolate covered fruity goodness!

we went to target today. harry & david chocolate covered fruits are sold there. displayed in their fancy boxes amongst all of the other delectable chocolates. i paid 4$ for a box of chocolate covered blueberries, cherries, and strawberries.
there is a harry/david store in the mall across town. we don't go in. for 2 reasons: a)TJ doesn't think chocolate and fruit should mix and b)the stuff is very expensive.
oh but they are beyond wonderful!!
i have to find a way to hide the rest, stashed away somewhere where i will hopefully forget i put them. so that i won't devour the rest of them this very second.
i would like to have some left for later.
or tomorrow even.

ah, but don't be deceived. the box they come in is a nice size. but the bag that confines them inside the box is rather small. and berries are expensive anyway. so why i was surprised i'm not sure.
i counted:
3 strawberries (these are rather large.)
4 cherries
and about a dozen blueberries or so.

i was miffed for only the few seconds it took me to open the bag and pop the first blueberry in.
after that how much i paid and having so little to show for it did not matter.
i will do it again.

soon.

Yum, your husband needs to understand ANYTHING is better dipped in chocolate! Especially fruit. I LOVE chocolate covered strawberries and bananas. YUM!

vp- i have tried a choc. covered banana before, didn't care for it at the time. but i think i might be game to try it again, if i can find one.
i did, by the way, manage to eat that whole little bag yesterday. i didn't save even one for later.
