We were walking through Wal-Mart yesterday. (I know! What a shocker!) Anyway, I saw these peppermint sticks. Not the shiny candy cane kind, but the soft, candy store ones.

The ones you make lemon sticks with!

So I picked them up and told Andrew we had to get some lemons. He had no idea what I was talking about. And no, he had never sucked a lemon through a peppermint stick. Was I feeling alright?

I was stunned.

Stunned, I say.

It wasn’t until we got home that I realized that this is a Baltimore tradition.

And a yummy (albeit sticky) one at that!

We all enjoyed our lemon sticks immensely.
