15 days!

P. invited me to make caramel apples with her and I. for Hallowe’en and while if this were another year, I likely could’ve—and would’ve—found some way to get around the orthodontia to participate, I am *much* more excited to be planning to eat my caramel apple off a *stick*, the way it was intended. And now, because I am bored, a list of other foods that come on sticks:

–lollipops
–popsicles, fudgesicles, creamsicles, the whole sicle -family
–pogos ( I think there is another, non-branded name for those cornbread coated hotdogs on sticks, but I forget it—anyone?
–souvlaki/kebabs (is there a difference? If so, is the difference that souvlaki is just meat, but kebabs have a bunch of things in a festive pattern?
–those big chunks of pineapple you can get in Chinese markets on sticks
–caramel and candy apples, the whole apples-covered-in-goo family
–toasted marshmallows
–sometimes chocolate-covered marshmallows in fun shapes, especially around Hallowe’en
–I think the corn-on-the-cob you get at street fests comes with little stick-like handles

That’s all I can think of – anybody else?
