Default The $147.25 Caramel

Friday I was munching on a Licorice-flavored caramel when it developed
a "hard spot".

The "hard spot" proved to be a dental crown :-(

Fortunately there was no other damage, and no decay, so the dentist
cleaned up the interface and glued it back on today... total charge
$147.25.

The dentist admitted to recently having a case where he couldn't get a
crown to release.

He solved to problem by softening a Jolly Rancher in warm water,
sticking it to the crown, then hardening it with air spray, then
pulling... came right off ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
