Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
8/13: northwestern confections
When my brother was visiting recently, Chris mentioned that he likes to sample regional candies. (Twin Bing and Cherry Mash are two of our Midwestern favorites, but we've come across other great-but-not-nationally-known sweets in service stations and roadside stands.) My brother said that when he returned home he'd send us some Idaho Spuds, a marshmallowy, coconuty, chocolate-covered candy. Today they arrived, as did another variety he tucked in: Idaho Huckleberry Cordials. The filling of the Spuds reminded us both of Moon Pies from our younger days, and the Huckleberry Cordials were like a blueberry-flavored version of the Twin Bing, which was a great surprise.
