Carlo: it is dark chocolate fudge and you can taste the Merlot. It is very rich.
There was no ice like that clear ice from the iceman and I recall thinking the ragman's blonde horse was was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen! LOL, probably a broken-down old nag, but to a 5-yr-old, it was a palomino!!
Now if we could have those years again AND still have Free Republic.....
I loved putting the horse up at night, and putting on his food bag and brushing him while he ate.. I stood on the stool and hugged him and warmed up before going home on the streetcar. Once during the winter, around Christmas, the owner gave me a full create of lettuce as a Christmas gift.. I was thrilled to get so much food to bring home..
The streetcar conductor wouldn't allow me to bring it on the streetcar, so I dragged it about 6 miles through the snow.. It was frozen and nearly completely spoiled by the time I got home but my aunt was really proud.. We ate lettuce for almost a week.. Did you know that you can make great(almost great) Lettuce Soup.. :)
