Wind has been caught at Jack’s work of the homemade candy bars we’ve made like Twix and Butterfingers. At the request of his coworkers, we made a trio of desserts, this time including Snickers. I’ve pointed out to Jack that he may climb the corporate ladder by appealing to people’s sweet tooth. One way or another I guess. At least it’s honest. Or is it considered a bribe?
