I know too much

I know too much about the Obama's love of chocolate. Barack loves milk chocolate. Michelle prefers dark. But both are big fans of Fran's Grey Sea Salt caramels.

I also know too much about Fran's. Because Fran is from Seattle, and I, personally, just like the Obamas, love her caramels. (But not with salt on top. Too salty.)

Anyway. Fran's. I know too much. Fran is a woman named Fran Bigelow. She makes chocolate. She is also a woman named Aunt Fran. I know this because I know her nephew, because he was in my class in high school. Once he almost asked me to prom, but then he didn't feel like buying me a corsage. So he didn't. Awkward. I hope he never reads this blog...

SO. Japanese people looove Obama, apparently. Especially the ones from the town of Obama, Japan. So when I get to Japan, and give my homestay family their presents, should I give them the box of milk and dark caramels and say, Barack prefers the milk, but Michelle prefers dark. Is that creepy? Or just informed? Everyone knows Ronald Reagan loved Jelly Beans. Or do they? I'm feeling a little creepy right now.

  2. THAT, I think, is just sweetness, grace, and ambassadorship rolled into a delicious box. Which sounds pretty fantastic. And like chocolate covered change.
