Someone picks somethin’ they can see, like, “I spy with my little eye, somethin’… red!” And then everyone else gotta guess. Simple, right? Kids love

Alright, let’s talk about somethin’ sweet, somethin’ that’ll make your mouth water. We’re gonna gab about Italian sweet wine dessert. Now, I ain’t no fancy sommelier or nothin’, but I know what tastes good, ya hear? First off, what is this stuff anyway? Well, it’s wine, but not the kind that makes you all sour-faced. It’s the sweet kind, the kind that makes you wanna smack your lips and say, “Mmm, that’s good!” They use it in all sorts of yummy things, like cakes and custards and stuff. Sometimes, they…

I just know what I know from hearin’ folks talk and, well, tryin’ it myself once in a blue moon. They say it’s like them Animal Cookies, but lemony.

Kids love that stuff, I reckon. But they ain’t cheap, no sirree. Gotta shell out some serious cash for them Disney things. Then there’s them Johanna Parker Halloween cookie…

Drink Can Return Caraluzzi Well, I tell ya, this whole can return thing, it ain’t always so easy, you know? Especially when you’re talkin’ about places like Caraluzzi’s. Used to be, you just took your bottles and cans back, got your pennies, done deal. Now, it’s all computers and barcodes and whatnot. Confusin’ as all get-out, sometimes. So, you wanna know ’bout drink can returns at Caraluzzi’s, huh? First thing’s first, you gotta be a Caraluzzi’s CARE Rewards Member, or so they say. Now, I ain’t always sure what that…

We ain’t got all day, so I’ll keep it short and sweet. First thing’s first, the “Quick and Easy Chicken”.
