I just visited my parents for father’s day coffee and ate maybe twenty or two hundred cookies. No ragrets (I feel like shit oh please god)

I'm an old woman at heart. Give me some All Sorts and Molasses Kisses and I'm set.

Yes. I take a gallon bag and fill it with fancy chocolate chips and peanut butter chips and shake it up and double fist it on Fridays. But lately is been singing it’s siren song other days of the week.

My time scrolling Lemmy goes up by 300% after Halloween primarily due to Reese's

Just a week ago I bought two pounds of something whose name translates to "peanut crisp". It's not the peanut crisp you're thinking of: peanuts in caramel. It's an Anhui thing that's been made pretty much since peanuts came to China. (It was probably originally made with a different legume.)

Basically you spread peanuts out into a wooden frame about a peanut thick in a layer. Then you scatter sesame seeds on top. Then you drizzle maltose syrup (made from sprouted sticky-rice) over that. Then you pound these, about six people per frame, into sticky dust. Repeat over and over and over again until you've filled the frame with layers of pounded peanuts and sesame seeds.

It's a sweet treat (but not tooth-aching sweet like, say, Oreos or most North American chocolate bars). And my two pounds of it lasted me three days.

I have a problem.

I stop at 3 as I'll get sick. My stomach can't handle too many sweets since 3 cups of sweet tea at Denny's.
