They're usually softer and don't seem to stick as badly as the rest of the gummi pyramid.<br />I started to put up a post of your scrumlicious candy yesterday, but had to leave for Milw to watch the Pirates lose to the Brewers in the eighth. <br />Was wondering if you liked The Tudors on Showtime...got to start your book on the treadmill and love it—that series reminded me of you.Jeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823269912693006949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34382865.post-65774307068696270212009-04-28T00:17:00.000-05:002009-04-28T00:17:00.000-05:00What are Indian Raisins.
