Next week, Sausage Sandwich Glad turns 100 and she loves marzipan. We always buy her a couple of bars of marzipan for Christmas so we found a magnificent looking box of marzipan fruit for quite a magnificent price.

I was expecting an impressive sized box, like a foot squareish.

It came this morning and I doubt it is eight inches square, certainly not the impressive present I was hoping for.

Oh well, it is marzipan. I know she will like it!

Congratulations to Glad

She will love the gift

But, yes, it is annoying when something turns out not to be quite what you expected!!

I hope Glad enjoys her 100th birthday and her marzipan!

Shame on the company misleading you. I thought you were going to say you had bought sausages made from marzipan lol

I don't suppose they mislead me.

I was just expecting something bigger.

That's the story of my life really!

It's a shame they didn't put something beside it for scale.
I'm sure she'll love them, though :-D
