Lillian Gives Candy To Strangers
I made marshmallows (recipe incoming) and then hit the streets to see if I could get strangers to take my homemade candy.

It’s been hovering below freezing for weeks. Which makes sense, since it’s winter. Today, however, it was somewhere in the range of 40 to 50 degrees F, which is strange, since it’s WINTER.
