I Can Almost Smell Camden...

tasty.jpg Blog brother AlexC is not only a superior writer and thinker, he is a gentleman of the highest order. Prompt payment of our wager arrived yesterday afternoon.

What Tastykake may lack in spelling, it has in flavor and regional charm. The packaging is attractive, and the references to Philadelphia are great. I cannot think of anything like it out here.

Thanks, ac -- other Colorado bloggers better hurry over to get some before we eat them all -- did I mention they are really good?

Go Rockies! See ya next year, Phils!

I trust that had had the Phils triumphed, my Colorado sourced bull balls would have come in a collectible tin!

Tip #1 - Consume with a glass of whole milk.

Tip #2 - For easy peeling of the wrapper on the kakes which have a iced topping, flip over and rub the iced side (wrapper still on) on a table. It just works.

Perhaps. I was going to go easy on you and offer Rocky Mountain Chocolates as an alternative. Thanks for the tips.

Reelecting Nagin was a major disappointment, but I wonder if the State is now seeing exactly what and where the corrupt government has brought them. Senator Landrieu is in trouble as well.

(I'm not calling Landrieu corrupt, but she is a part of the Democratic machine politics that has provided every opportunity for corruption.)

Apropos of pretty much nothing, and n spite of knowing I am about to subject myself to flames, I wanted to point out the following:

I grew up in NYC eating Tastykake; they used to have a large plant on Flushing Bay in Queens. This was well known to me, as it sat several hundred yards from Shea Stadium (in Corona).

So while The Mets deserve all the flames for entering this years record books (bass-ackwards), there was a time these delectable treats were baked in NY.
