However, I saw "The Sweet 100" on fellow Barefoot Blogger Audrey's food from books, and I thought maybe it would be fun . . . like Audrey, I'm a fan of lists. So here goes:
Items I have tried are in bold
Items I would not try have been
1. Red Velvet Cake
2. Princess Torte

8.
9. Fried Fruit pie

Want your own Sweet 100? All you have to do is:
1) Copy this list into your site, including the instructions!
2) Bold all of the sweets you've eaten!
3) Cross out any of them that you'd never ever eat.
4) Consider anything that is not bold or crossed out your "To Do" List.
I missed that you visited - thanks! And I missed the just-fried donut on MY list (forgot about my one trip ever to Krispy Kreme!)
ReplyDeleteSee you on Thursday!
