Thanks Jade!

My friend Jade (click on her name to check out her blog), read my post lamenting that I miss chocolate bars from my homeland. Because she is so uber-fantastic, she bought me a Coffee Crisp when she saw one at a snack bar at a musical (how random and weird is that?). Here I am posing with my chocolate bar, mere seconds before diving into its coffee-infused crispity chocolate goodness.

Thanks Jade, you are the coolest!

On a completely unrelated note, I like to say homeland. It makes me sound like I'm from a really exotic place.

all done!

Smarties and Coffee Crisp and Aero... Oh my!

So I've totally been craving chocolate lately. The kind of craving that if I don't get it, I'm going to sucker punch the next person that walks by. I'm hungry and I want chocolate. Unfortunately, the kind of chocolate I want is not readily available here. It's the chocolate of my younger days, when I lived in Canada. Where mountain streams have boxes of Smarties floating in their waters. It rains Aero bars, and snows Coffee Crisp. And you can get the good Kit Kat. I'm sorry, but the Kit Kat here just doesn't taste as good. Did I forget to mention that our roads are also paved with Kraft Dinner and Shreddies?

In truth, I could get my hands on these chocolate bars, but I'd have to pay out the nose for it. I'm sorry, $2.00 for one chocolate bar? Is it a magic chocolate bar that will replicate itself into many more chocolate bars? No? Then take your $2.00 chocolate bar and suck on it.

I'm talking to you World Market.
