Both bitter and sweet
Today… can’t chat, must parent. So I’ll just quickly mention that it’s National Almond Day and you know, throw those bad boys in a little candy coating and wrap a handful in tulle, you know what you get…
“Five sugared almonds for each guest to eat / To remind us that life is both bitter and sweet. / Health, wealth, happiness, children and long life!”
