Do you know this episode of the old American TV show “I Love Lucy”? Lucy and her pal, Ethel, get jobs in a candy shop and are soon overwhelmed by the workload. It’s a classic!
As you may recall, I make candy. I can totally identify with Lucy and Ethel right now! I am pretty fully occupied by the demands of the holiday candy season.
I love what I’m doing–I’m up to my knees in chocolate! A dream come true! But it may mean that my blog is updated less frequently and my posts are short.
Please understand that I am thinking of you and will be back with more thoughtful posts as soon as I can be!

Absolutely LOVED this episode of “I Love Lucy”! Watched it so many times back in the day. How perfect for you, the chocolatier extraordinaire! I’d be more than happy to visit your kitchen and play the role of Lucy or Ethel. Yummm!
We could have fun as Lucy and Ethel!! How about that episode when they stomped grapes for wine?!
Do not worry, dear friend, you make your delicious chocolates and make sure you have time for yourselves and we will wait patiently for your posts to enjoy. With big hugs from Ohio
Thank you, Johanna–you’re a sweetheart! I hope the bad weather isn’t bothering you today!
Happy Chocolate Making Days 🙂
Thanks ever so!
This was my absolute favorite episode of I Love Lucy. Have fun making chocolate!
That episode was a classic–I like the grape-stomping one, too! They were all pretty great!
Just looking at that photo makes me laugh, remembering the episode. It’s amazing how after so many years it’s still so funny. I guess the best part of your making all that candy for your loved ones is that you get to taste it… Just for quality control, you know.
I do so much quality control, I actually have gotten a little tired of chocolate! I’m sure I’ll get over that, though! 😉
Have fun with all your sweet goodness! Tis the season 🙂
Yes, candy-making season is intense but not too long. I think that’s just as well!
Enjoy your chocolate season. I bet your house smells delicious 🙂
In fact, it does! It’s best when I’m cooking ginger caramels–mmmm!
I can imagine things smell super good around your home, with all the chocolate making!
The caramel is the best smell–it just burbles on the stove for a couple hours–so comforting!
“Up to my knees in chocolate” sounds pretty good! Good luck with all your christmas candy 🙂 xx
Thanks, Jess! I have a show I’m doing in a couple weeks and I have no idea what to expect so I’m a little stressed!
