Pink & Cheap Platter

My cousin Sophia and I hosted a joint birthday party this last weekend. The theme was Pink & Cheap. One of the better party themes out there if you ask me. In addition to chili dogs (inspired by Pink's), steak tacos (medium rare and pink) and the famed toasting station (strawberry jam and pop tarts, anyone?) I served up this killer platter:


Pink wafer cookies, Homer Simpson donuts and Mother's Frosted Animal cookies.

Here's a look at the toasting station. It was a huge hit after-hours!

Home and Native Candy Land

I could list a million things I love about going back to Canada but near the top of the list is the chocolate bars, known as candy bars south of the 49.

It's a magical place where peanut butter cups don't belong to Reese, they share his name; where Mr. Big is best friends with Oh Henry!; where Coffee is Crisp and where Caramilks are so h-core they eat Rolos for breakfast.

Perhaps it's nostalgia but, for me, I'm pretty sure it's actually the taste and quality that put. these treats a step above the crap we get in the US.
