Food Flavored Song of the Day: Honey Honey by Fallon Cush
Despite not being a honey fan, every spring I take my class through a writing unit on advertising. Their goal? To create a brand new type of honey, make a jar for it, write a commercial and videotape it. The group of kids I have this year have taken it further and done more with it than ever before.
My honey fandom is improving though. After giving up agave nectar because of its false advertising I’ve been using a little more honey to sweeten things. I know it isn’t vegan but the health food guru I know mentioned that if I’m not a stringent vegan than raw honey is the best. So I’ve done it.
While Fallon Cush most likely was writing a sweet, catchy ode to their lover with this track it also applies currently to my life. Double honey, in school and out. In my granola, on my crackers and all over my desks and bookshelves.

honey is magic! :> lots of different tastes right from the nature.. don’t think the bees will bother having people taste their art…. i usually have wildflowers and apricot flowers from my hometown village (lucky)… i’ve heard of acacia and chestnut tree also pine is a common one… supermarket honey, i suspect, is made by industrially fed bees (by sugar beet byproducts). just like the weird grass you mention. one should search a little, just like the olive oil…
i also use plenty of molasses in my desserts for extra sweetening and flavor.. grape, mulberry and even black mulberry :>
reminded me of an old mariah carey tune, describing how to treat “honey” as it deserves X>
(high pitches may come out of the blue X> )

there’s this other tune… it tells about what happens when you lose your honey.. its so hard, i mean i actually pray while listening to this. a little taster of turkish rock. i wont translate it so you don’t cut yourself

First off, thanks for the sweetener suggestions. Second….classic line. Thank you for not translating so I don’t cut myself. I am prone to doing that when cooking to a sad song.

I don’t even need to understand it to hear the sadness.
