Happy Peppero Day all.  I was wondering if there were going to be any super fun or weird pepperos floating around.  I can say, I’ve seen the biggest boxes of them EVER.

I got about a half-dozen boxes from my students.  One of my kindergarteners gave me a cell phone charm that is a little girl holding a giant peppero.  Now that I love.  It’s so cute.

Believe it or not, I didn’t eat any.  Well, no, I take that back.  I ate one and then gave the rest of the box to the two students in my class.

You can buy them year round, but people usually only eat them on 11-11.  After 6 Peppero days, I can say I never want to see another one as long as I live.  It was worse when I taught in a full kindergarten.  I came home with a shopping bag full of them.  Most of all, I think my palate has changed.  I don’t crave sweets the way I used to.

I decided to go to Outback (what, did you think I was living in war-torn Korea?) for dinner.  I decided to get the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under.  Big mistake.  If you’re not familiar with it, it’s a scoop of whipped cream on top of a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of a warm brownie.  My stomach is still yelling at me.

And thus so ends another Peppero Day.  It’ll probably be back to the same old regular sized boxes.  And for those who have no idea what I’m babbling on about, here a short history.
