Oh my God!!! A Philly Pretzel Factory store just opened up in Waterford Towers in Central Florida. I went there tonight and walked out with a hugh bag full of pretzels (14), a bag full of nuggets, a hotdog roll, and a hugh knot for $6.00. I'd like to say I got it for close to nothing because I'm cute, but that's not the case.
The store had just closed at 7:00 pm and I knew that I'd missed them by 3 minutes. I called the store and asked for their location so that I could return another day. When I told the guy that I had travel about 40 minutes to get there, he gave me directions and told me that he'd have some waiting for my arrival. They opened the door for me and I ordered 9 pretzels. They gave me everything they had left. I felt like a theif in the night. Talk about a steal. Papo just laughed when I walked out because he said that he knew that my "labia" would get me more than I needed. It's not my fault that I'm such a sweet talker.
I shared some with our three kids and that was, of course, after I stuffed my face. Ah, the memories. Now if I could only find that store that will be opening in Oviedo soon with the Philly Hoagies. That will be my next challenge.

Good story, Miriam. Soft pretzels, Rita's Water Ice, Cheese Steaks, Hoagies, Tastykakes and so many others make us a fat & happy city.
Let's not forget our other traditions. They also add on to the weight issues: pasteles, arroz con dulce, lechon asao, arroz con gandules, coquito, etc. Tis the other reason for the season!!!
Hey, hey, hey. Remember I live right down the street.Send some my way :-)
