Red Swedish fish were a 'big thing' when I was living in Swansea MA in my Jr. High years in the mid-late'70's. Everybody that I knew, and even those I didn't know were really into eating red Swedish fish candy. After school we'd all go to the corner candy store and pretty much buy them out of the fish. It was such a craze that my 8th-grade English teacher gave the whole class a creative writing assignment in writing a 1-page essay on "How I like to eat red Swedish fish candy", because we all had our favorite ways of devouring them (which he couldn't help but observe as we snacked on them before class commenced every day) ....some liked to stretch them as far as they could stretch before popping them into their mouth, some like to suck on them, some would eat the head first or the tail off first, etc..... It was a pretty fun assignment. Good times. lollittle red Swedish fish Candy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My 'guilty' pleasures are:
-Dark chocolate and cayenne mixed together in candy.... or in cakes.... or in hot chocolate (great combo in my book!)
-YouTube videos....history, cooking, canning, soapmaking......the list goes on. I could pretty much waste the day away on there if I didn't have so many other things to do.
