Bet You think Chocolate is today's Friday favorite!

Although World's Finest chocolates with almonds still ranks as tops for candy favorites, there is more to life than just chocolate...Ta Da...there are also jelly beans!

They come in many delightful flavors and some of my favorites are below...

Jelly Bean Facts....

"Jelly beans are made at a huge sweet factory and millions of jelly beans are made at a time.

Jelly beans have two parts to them – the centre and the outer (the outside part). The centres are made first using sugar, glucose syrup (which is more sugar) food starch (which is like the corn flour we use in cooking at home), water and gelatine (which jelly is made out of).

This mixture is squirted into little jelly bean shaped moulds and then it’s heated in a huge oven to dry the mixture out so the jelly bean centres are solid and not gooey and sticky.

The jelly bean centres are poured into huge copper bowls or pans with sugar, colouring and flavours to make the jelly bean outers.

The huge bowls spin round stirring up the jelly beans so that they get covered with the sugar mixture and huge pipes suck out the air so the jelly beans dry and stop sticking together.
When the jelly beans are ready the colours are mixed together and then they’re packaged and boxed up ready for shipping to the supermarkets and shops."

HOWEVER, there SHOULD be a HUGE WARNING sign on these candies that says "Danger, DANGER...do NOT feed these to any children you may want to fall asleep within the next 24 hours or three days, whichever comes first!!!"

One of my VERY favorite flavors is the popcorn one...

So many choices, so many delights and soooooooooo much sugar....This is probably breaking the favorites' rules, but I am going to sneak in a NOT SO favorite. It is the combination of my keyboard and computer. Ever since I got this computer two years ago, the keyboard will suddenly and randomly STOP communicating with the computer. The mouse will work fine and everything will 'look' normal, but no typing can be done. We have had it checked out and they can't find the problem because, of course, it is ever so angelic when they are looking at it! Lately, it has decided to stop communicating more frequently...maybe they are just incompatible...maybe they need to go for some counseling so they can get along better, but if this keeps up, they'll have to talk me along. Yesterday, it did this two times in a row which means I cannot leave comments or do a post, but I can cry...ALOT! This looks like my keyboard and the 's' stand for STOP...SILENT and then watch Marcy start to 'panic' that it will STAY SILENT and STOPPED.


On to nicer things such as these two very beautiful flowers...just love this yellow tinged with green and only wish it was in my backyard....

But my favorite flower is this one, for color and beauty.....



And now for some cute stuff, funny pictures and jokes....

Why did the jellybean go to school? Because he wanted to become a smartie.
