since i was an itty bitty girl

 my very favorite desserts in the whole wide world

always included

my hometown bakery’s (sanders) milk chocolate hot fudge topping

(on anything, or sometimes just a spoonful or bowl (small) of it, yes)

in my later years

i have it on special occasions

or on a random tuesday

 imagine my reaction

when i read a local article

 how it was now very hard to get

so of course

i then decided i had to have it

checked the usual places

without any luck

went to amazon

 found an offer

for $288

for 6 jars

of what is normally under $10

now i want it more

haven’t yet found a way to rationalize the cost

even though it may very well be worth it

perhaps an emergency go fund me is on the horizon.
