My appetite hasn't been what it should be, and I thought a sour candy might help so I got some lemon fizzballs from fiona's sweetshoppe, a really cute English candy store off Union Square. I'm not a big eater of candy, but their lemon fizzballs and strawberry bon bons are excellent. And I love the old timey feel of the store: it's just the type of place one would duck into on a weekend away from boarding school to pick up a bag of dormitory snacks--as if I would know!The other jar is a beef demi-glace I picked up din the 50% off bin at Williams-Sonoma. I haven't opened it yet, but I'm thinking it'll give a nice kick to risotto or beef stew, or maybe something like a steak and kidney pie (!). You'll just have to wait and see.

yes! kate and sidney pie.
how much was the glass container of lemon fizzballs?
Too much. The jars are $10 for 6 ounces, and if you get a bag instead of a jar you get 8 ounces of candy instead. I got the jar because I eat candy so rarely I thought I'd better have an airtight place to put it. Also, they were giving away bags of toffee with purchase so it didn't seem soooo bad.
ohhh, thanks for the info. Glad to hear about the bags of toffee w/ purchase!
