Good morning, welcome to our series sharing Food Holidays: December 7th, 2021. Did you know today is National Cotton Candy Day and I was blessed the other day and was able to visit the Super American Circus and they had Cotton Candy in blue and pink. I had pink and Charlie had blue Cotton Candy and they were so good. I wish I had more today. Do you like Cotton Candy because I have a Cotton Candy machine and would be happy to make us some. As long as it’s pink.
