Local love story for Valentine’s Day
|
This is the story of high school sweethearts, Priscilla and Jimmy, who met in his junior year and her sophomore year, at Hartford Public High School. A mutual friend set up a blind date to go to a drive-in movie in 1968. They continued to go out for the next five years and were married on June 9, 1973. We bought a house in Granby in December 1973, where I still live today!

Who doesn’t love hot fudge sauce?
|
Just in time for your Valentine treats, this hot fudge sauce is a game changer! Perfect over ice cream, waffles or your dessert brownie, or a dip for fresh fruit. While mixing, it really does look like wet sand but as you gradually stir, it becomes smooth. Enjoy!
