My idea of fun is a booger-flavoured jelly bean

Tonight I was at a Hallowe'en/housewarming party hosted by two friends who recently (officially) moved in together. We didn't do much but eat, drink a couple of glasses of wine or beer, and talk, but I feel so lucky all the same - what a really great group of people.

There was a bucket of candy in the living room, which included a box of every-flavoured jelly beans, as in the Harry Potter books. It's amazing how much entertainment value can be derived from carefully selecting a booger-flavoured jelly bean, passing it to a friend - who knows it will be bad but eats it anyway while trying to identify the flavour. Sardine- and earthworm-flavoured beans seemed to be the most revolting. I can tell you that vomit-flavoured beans did not in any way taste like vomit (thank goodness!!!). But what fun to sit around like 10-year-olds, effectively daring each other to eat booger- and earwax- flavoured beans!

However, I am not a kid anymore and therefore need to go to bed toute suite!
