Tasty Choices... [Open Letter to Odd]
* 5:25PM * Arrive home. Immediately note that caramels and Dairy Milk chocolate bar have mysteriously vanished from candy pile this morning. I think Eric's responsible for the disappearance - it's totally his m.o. and kitty likes liver more than chocolate! Must interrogate DH at next opportunity. Need his tasters choice review for blog... Soup for dinner, followed by Smarties (mmmm, delicious!) and a Mr. Chew. Add those two to the 'keepers list.'

Odd, thanks again! I can't believe there's another box on the way. That's so incredibly generous... Wow! I'm going to have to change my blog name to S W E L L Forth Chameleon. lol!
Oh my, I can't even believe how expensive it is to ship things overseas. Yikes!!! And those Tunnock Wafers look good - I think that will make a nice dessert for tomorrow evening. :)
Smarties are the only of these sweets that I've definitely seen in U.S. shops...And I'm interested do you find any of these sweets in your shops? Although, I'm pretty sure that we get a variety of Matlows hard candies at various stores (butterscotch, etc.).
If you ever get to the U.S. you have to visit Hershey, Pennsylvania. You can visit the Hershey World of Chocolate, museum, zoo or amusement park. And the streets outside the Hershey factory smell like chocolate. (Much better than the smell of the James River paper mill, like we get this way.)
P.S. I think our cultural exchange was a hit!!! (Although I can think of a ton of other candies I'd like to send...wow, the list is endless.) ¶ 11/02/2005 06:49:00 PM

Terribly envious.
Growing up, I would have had a pen pal if they would have enticed me with a candy exchange.
It is just a good thing no one ever pulled the, "You want some candy, Little Girl" trick on me. I wouldn't have given Carrot Juice nor dried pineapples even a backward glance before getting in the car.

Karen,
I love your blog; I've been out lately but it's so good to be back. Ghost shrimp, candy from around the world, tom cruise fighting oprah with the force, I can hear your wonderful voice as I read the posts.
I hope someday I get a chance to hang with you and your hubby again. It's been like, what, six years?
your friend,

It's my pleasure, I really enjoyed doing this, and yes I admit I did get carried away. :)
Shame if you didn't get to even try our Cadbury's milk chocolate at least Eric can tell you just how good it was.:)
Because I split your package it was not so expensive.
And is amazing just how quickly the packages zoom across all that water to get too you guys.
A quick word on Marmite, Marmite is NOT sweet, don't spread it like chocolate spread, you will either love it or hate it no in between's.
You will understand when the next package arrives:) In one piece I hope.
