a coworker just asked me if i like Macedonian nuts. [insert tasteless, racially inappropriate joke here]
i've eaten three sugar plums today, and only now, while gnoshing* the last one, did i make the association with the sugar plum fairies of nutcracker fame. which is a shame, b/c i danced as one during the xmas production in grade school. how my synapses fail me!
* dunno if there should be a silent g there, but it makes the word seem wiser, no?
i'd like a sugar plum. i thought those things were make believe
ReplyDeleteno! they're real! and they're prettier than real plums too in an asymetrical, rosy way.
ReplyDeleteWhy did I think it was knoshing? Maybe because of knishes...? Where's a lefty Jewish handler when you need one?!
ReplyDeletei went to another store and they were labelled as "giant figs"...much less appealing.
ReplyDeletearen't silent letters fun! maybe its pnoshing? that word reminds me of elephants.
