The Licorice Advent Incident. Part Two.

The horror continues in this, the second installment of the Licorice Advent Incident. Before continuing with this project I tested the waters with Mona, to see if we could still be friends as I document this journey. Luckily my Danish other half made me feel as though I could be as candid as I need to be with her and apparently, the rest of the world. In this exciting installment, we meet some new flavors and unfortunately, revisit some old tormentors. I thought they would only haunt me in my dreams, I was so very wrong about that. So. Very. Wrong. 

Day Nine:

Fussy baby in tow cannot stop us from having a taste of "love." Fortunately,  I've tasted real love, and it taste nothing like licorice.

Day Ten:

This one had a nice chocolate and coffee coating that masked the licorice flavor quite nicely. The best thing to happen since day four.

Day Eleven:

Star Wars shirt clad and ready, we embark on this wicked little buggar... It stuck to our teeth! Talk about straight outta the Dark Side.

Day Twelve:

The makers of this one use the term "sweet" loosely. Unless I'm mistaken and "sweet" means evil black ball of yuck.

Day Thirteen:

I thought ingesting something that tasted so much like gun powder would lead to lethal consequences.  Seriously, licorice powder?!?! Who does that?

Day Fourteen:

It seems we have experienced our first repeat. I don't know what's worse,  having a second go-round, or knowing what lies ahead... 

Day Fifteen:

Knowing what to expect did not make this little ball of ew any easier to swallow. 

Day Sixteen:

Our second round with this one was worse than the first. It seems as though it is always better to go in hopeful than dreadful. 

Stay tuned for the final installment of the Licorice Advent Incident. There will be a few twists and turns (of our faces contorting in agony) and a lesson learned.
