I've always been partial to Turtles, but I'm cutting back on my candy intake because diabetes has been a really problem for my family. gonk
You know, if you don't eat sweet things for a long time, then anything sweet will be too sweet to eat? It's weird.

It's weird. Amen on that last part. I lived almost entirely off plain popcorn, bell peppers, and unsweetened green tea for three months and I still can't get used to the taste of sugar. Which is too bad, really - I used to love honey and now it makes my head ache.

I know most people hate this stuff, but I love that pumpkin-shaped candy corn!

Hmm, I've never tried candy corn. Well, Hallowe'en is coming up. Maybe I'll buy a small packet.
Oh, do cookies count? My mum makes cookies that she deep-fries. They're not that sweet, either. More cinammony. I don't know how to spell the name, but they're pronounced "shank-ill-ees." They're flipping delicious.

I've been careful about adding excess salt and since then have been more sensitive to seasoning as a group maybe that's why candy has a special connection this year - tasting it without being "used" to the extra stuff?

Huh, that's weird - I've cut back on salt, too, but I haven't noticed seasoning becoming more potent. In fact, we went out for Indian curry the other day and I simply could not get my food spicy enough, whereas before I could barely handle it mild.

Might take me a while to find it though, and I'll have to ask my mum first. I hope she won't mind. biggrin And the salt thing... my doctor told me that I needed to add salt to my food, to cure this problem in my gut. I think it had something to do with iodine in salt, so that I could absorb minerals or something. Oh, and I can totally sympathize with not getting your curry hot enough. gonk

Y'know, he's actually a really regular, teddy-bear-ish guy when he's got a beard and isn't wearing women's clothing. ;D Anyway, I can never get Indian or Thai food spicy enough, it seems. I used to eat at this Thai restaurant that rated their spicy foods on a scale of 1-5 stars, and I could barely handle the spiciness of a 2-star meal, but now it seems like 5-star is a little too bland.

Okay so the Worst Witch was beyond cheesy...
am I the only one who felt like that at one time or another during her school days?
"that was a remarkable spell. If only we could remember how we did it. The kind of thing we'd tell our grandchildren."
"If I live to have any."
biggrin anyway - anyone dressing up IRL? I'm going shopping today for candy and costumes!!!

I'll probably doll out in Lolita to hand out candy. I'm not going out trick-or-treating, that's my sister's thing. Except this year. They usually go as a group - like last year, Silent Hill, the year before, Alice in Wonderland. whee heart Only this year they only just decided that dressing up as dictators (Stalin/Mussolini/Castro/etc) probably wouldn't be a good idea, and don't have time to think up a new idea. gonk
