I might be a bit obsessed with food!

As I go back and catalogue my various blog entries and reflect upon the things that I choose to write about, I am going to have to admit that I might be just a bit obsessed with food. Not any food mind you, but good stuff that a person can get excited about. Ice cream, nachos, donut holes, guacamole...these are all things that I have written about and will likely write about again. I like other foods too (and even some that are actually good for me!) but we can worry about that later because today we are going to talk about...caramel corn.

You may recall the 'snack Thursday' activity that I mentioned a week or two ago. It is growing in popularity AND notoriety as word gets out that the ops services aisle is the happening place to be. We have even taken to planning the NEXT snack option while we are eating our current - we enjoy our little ray of sunshine in the late afternoon!

This week the featured item was caramel corn - a valued item on its own merits, but THIS caramel corn is the Jamba-famous Lily Wong caramel corn. What makes this treat even more special is the fact that Lily hasn't worked at the big whirl for at least 4, maybe 5 years and we still crave (and can order!!!) her specialty. No one knows the recipe, no one knows why it is so good, but we ALL sign up to eat our weight in the stuff and do it with a big smile, even when we do start to feel a little sick from all of that sugar!

Lily uses her caramel corn powers for good - she typically leverages it as a fundraiser for her current Team in Training event which makes us feel even better about stuffing our faces and our bellies with the tasty treat combination of popcorn, caramel and cashews. Our ceo bought this round and made what Lily described as a GENEROUS donation so it feels good to be a part of something as important as helping to raise funds for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma research and patient services.

A good treat for a good cause - it seems as if this obsession is a win/win for all!!
