Candy Review #1: Milky Way Simply Caramel

Mmmm... candy...

Its wrapper is effective camouflage allowing it to blend into its surroundings and hide from candyvores like me.

My first food related post! Boys and girls, what we have here is an interesting new candy bar that crossed my path when I was out grocery shopping. As the name suggests, it’s a Milky Way bar filled with caramel. Now, a Milky Way isn’t the most complex candy there is. Chocolate, nougat, caramel and there you have it. This variation ditches the nougat to focus on what the wrapper claims is “rich delicious caramel.”

Recipe for a Website, Part 2

That’s it! I’m done! Askthefatty.com has been simmered, seared, fried, baked and grilled to perfection! The backend stuff is all done, my theme modifications are up and not hideous, and I’m working on my first set of reviews now. It’s been a long, tasty road, but we’ve finally arrived.

After registering it, I set up my existing webhosting account to host the askthefatty.com domain. Here’s where the tomfoolery began. Apparently there was some kind server side misconfiguration that prevented the domain from resolving properly. Neither myself or the tech support team could figure out how it happened, but they were able to correct it on their end. Success! The domain resolves! Now to set up WordPress!
