Cotton Candy

Today, Monday, June 11, according to my nifty calendar, is National Cotton Candy Day.  I have a friend who is very fond of cotton candy and I'm sure she will appreciate knowing about a national holiday dedicated to the frothy, sticky, sweet treat. I've always thought that the fun thing about cotton candy is how it justs melts away in your mouth.  My mother claimed that I liked food that could be swallowed with little or no chewing.  She said that, as a child, I liked peas because they just rolled down my throat. She might have been right.  I do have a fondness for pudding, ice cream and Jello.  But back to cotton candy.  Sadly, the really good stuff isn't readily available, unless you go to a ball game or festival.  Happily, the elusive candy is a really good excuse, if you need one, to go to a ball game or festival, and better yet we have such activities available right here in Fort Wayne. The next festival I'll be attending is Rib Fest later this week.  Hmmm, ribs and cotton candy.  I'll have to think about that. Sounds like a really sticky combination.
