Thanks!!

*So* glad I ran to the mailbox before I took off for the day. Yeah, I only get there maybe a couple of times a week and with the job stress going on I hadn't run down there since Wednesday and I should have!

TREATS!!!

*smooches spikesbuffy for the postcard* Look at those guys joust!

*slobbers poohmusings* Little Simpsons dolls! (With floaty heads - are these tiny bobble dolls? HAHAHAHAHA!) And a too cool wienerdog card!!

And a box from josephides. *sniff* You are possibly the sweetest person on the face of the Earth! Okay, not "sweetest." Coolest? Grooviest? I know! KEENEST! But holy crap! Furry mittens, foreign English-type food (including Jaffa Cakes and Kinder Surprise!), a squishy smiley face, Simpsons cards and some sort of unidentified ball thing that has gears inside. *shakes it to see if it's ticking* Mmm. You know, these Jaffa Cakes are pretty dang good. But I like bittersweet chocolate & oranges together.

Dang! I have to go. Wish I could play with my toys some more.

I can't believe you guys have to live without Jaffa Cakes, it's a sad sad world.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I know! Those things are pretty tasty!

[ashism.livejournal.com]

Yup! How do you eat yours? I nibble around the edges until there's only the orange left in the middle ::grins::

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Hee hee! I just ate mine by chomping them in half.

And now they're all gone. :( *sniff*

Jaffa Cakes!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I was surprised how good they were!

[josephides.livejournal.com]

I personally think Jaffa Cakes are revolting but I figured the comedy value was worth more than the, um, taste ;)

That's, um, the inside of another kinder egg. Someone ate the chocolate part. NOT ME! Someone else. So I put that in the box anyway. It builds a car :D

And, dammit, I sent that *ages* ago. It should have turned up before your birthday. *mutters about postal system*

Suuuure you didn't eat the chocolate! I made the car!! VROOOOM!

I, um, didn'tcheckmymail. :D

Whee, presents! :)

So what exactly do Jaffa Cakes taste like?

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

It's this flat little cookie-shaped orange sponge cake. On top of that there's a thin layer of orange-flavored thick jelly and over that is a layer of dark chocolate. :)

[angst-angel.livejournal.com]

*sighs at latte icon* I had a Peppermint Mocha today - yum! *g*

Hmm, sounds interesting. :)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

It's actually pretty tasty!

Yay! The guys arrived safely. ;)

foreign English-type food

I'm very jealous, Michelle. I've never had a Jaffa cake. Nor...um...Tim Tams? Is that right?

Huzaah!

Jaffa Cakes are little orange sponge cakes with a bit of orange jelly-type stuff and have dark chocolate on top. Mmm. I didn't get any Tim Tams but I got Smarties - like M&Ms but the candy coating is a bit thicker. And some Dairy Milk! MMMM!

And some Dairy Milk! MMMM!

Dairy Milk! Hurrah! Actually, I found one at the local Meijer store.

I swear to heaven above, I will never again buy a Hershey bar. I have seen the light and tasted the chocolatey goodness.

Still would like another Cherry Ripe bar though. *sigh*
"I WANT MY CHERRY RIPE BAR!"

*ahem*

I never really cared for Hershey's chocolate. I've had so many better kinds of chocolate I guess.

Don't know that one! :D

Used to love it. Didn't have much selection when I was a kid. :(

Don't know that one! :D

Aussie chocolate! Wheeee! LOVE it!

Cherries and coconut covered with a lovely dark chocolate. Now, I detest dark chocolate. I've loked up a couple sites and they call it "Old Gold chocolate. It's not as bitter as our dark chocolate. I really need to send my pal Nancy some money to get me a few more bars...

Mmmmm! That does sound good!

You know, when I was in Ireland I was amazed and awed by the sheer selection of candy and chocolately goodness.

So many varieties! So much goodness!

It truly puts America to shame, it does.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

It really does. Everything here is mass produced.

[josephides.livejournal.com]

Tim Tams? What are they?

[spikesbuffy.livejournal.com]

Aussie cookies(or biscuits as Claira insists):

Claira says:
they have two chocolate 'cookies' with a creamy chocolate spread in the middle
and then they have a chocolate coating
*smooch*

Little Simpsons dolls! (With floaty heads - are these tiny bobble dolls? HAHAHAHAHA!)

HEEE! Yes, they are! :D Now you see why I had to get them for you, right? :) Glad to got to you in one piece! *slobbers back*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

[diavestra.livejournal.com]

Oooooh! I *love* Jaffa cakes!

Of course, being me, your birthday package should arrive sometime by the 4th of July.....

Happy happy!
