My favorite Halloween candy is listed below. I did not rank them because I love them all equally - like children. I stopped at seven so that I would not bore you. What's your favorite?
I was reading an article in my O, The Oprah Magazine
this week titled, “Six Wine Myths Debunked” by Lettie Teague. Myth three was the belief that caviar is a perfect match for champagne. However, I learned two interesting realities. One, the best match for champagne is potato chips. Two, it is brilliant with fried fish or fried chicken because of its acidity according to Ms. Teague. She should know; after all, she has been writing about wine for more than 15 years. Are you just as amazed as I am? 
1. Strawberry ice cream
I must admit that I have never made angel food cakes
. Matters of fact, I rarely eat them. I need flour and egg yolks in my cake. Angel food consists of sugar, cream of tartar, egg whites, vanilla extract, and salt. It is usually baked in a tube pan
and the sponge-like texture is served with berries and whipped cream. Some historian believed that African-American slaves, due to the strength required to whip the air into the whites, baked the first angel food cakes in the South. How cool is that little known history fact!?! I learned something by writing this today. I hope you did by visiting.
When I first thought about writing this piece, I was simply going to list 13 tips for writing a love letter. I came up with only 10, so I posed the question to my Facebook Fans for the rest. Their answers varied. What I found fascinating was that folks assumed the letter was for a male- companion/friend/husband, or lover. Why do men get all the love? I feel affection for all sorts of people and I rarely let them know. Therefore, this year, I am writing love letters to my family and friends for the holidays – my gift to them. I want them to cherish the letters and hold the words close to their hearts. After all, tomorrow is not promised and sometimes the words come too late.
