Like a Box of Chocolate
I was given no choice when you stop to think about it.The person who sold the most chocolate in the state of Idaho would receive a trip to Busch Gardens in Tampa, and once I heard what was on the line, things like “friendship” and “camaraderie” became antiquated notions of the Before Times, when you could afford kindness because chocolate was free and handed out to you by strangers on Halloween.Matty, I’m sure, disagrees, and that’s why he’s destined to be the employee and not the employer one day. He’ll most likely be my employee, since, even at the age of ten, it’s clear I have a big heart a...

Cheese Cream
Today was officially three days till Christmas, the most magical and loving holiday. My grandpa used to make Cheese cream, which is strawberry cheesecake with vanilla ice-cream instead of cream cheese. He made the desert for the kids in the family every Christmas and since he passed away last year, I have decided to take on that tradition.
