well, the benefits of the big trip have started and i havent even left yet. or maybe it's not a benefit...i've been trying (trying IS the operative word) to stockpike australian candy to take to sweet toothed friends stateside. i buy two packs, eat one, go to the shops again, buy two more, eat more, decide to buy more, settle and then decide it's nowhere near enough. can anybody ever have enough candy? really?
i was here googling images of sweets so i could put a post together and i saw some creative ways to use musk sticks. who would have thought of cutting them into pieces to decorate cup cakes? even more clever was the picture where they used a musk stick as the holder for a meringue "lollypop"
and the pictures of cherry ripe were surrounded by pictures of cherry ripe slice...if i was feeling creative i could try making that for the gang but then again, if i was feeling creative a pavlova would be the thing to make, wouldnt it? i feel a job coming on......
Wait now I missed the last post. Look you're only going to be three thousand miles away come see (what's left of) Detroit. And you don't have to bring me candy because I shouldn't be eating it anyway. {well maybe just a bit for the wife}
ReplyDeletemark, i'd love to...
ReplyDeletemy sister reckons she's coming with me next time and she's not a woman to argue with so candy in 2013, right?
How come I never noticed Cherry Ripe when I was in Oz? And it's supposed to be Australia's most famous chocolate bar? Cherry and coconut flavoured chocolate, sounds wonderful. I shall track it down on my next visit down under.
ReplyDeletethey're everywhere, you wont have any problems!
ReplyDeleteMemories. Musk sticks, cherry ripes, mint patties, spearmint leaves ... Will you have room in your luggage for anything else? Have a wonderful, wonderful time! And don't forget to pack some Tim-Tams.
ReplyDeleteAll that "candy" stuff sounds too sweet and revolting for my dear old palate. Since I can consume lemons and grapefruit juice neat with no dramas, then dear readers, you'll all understand my reaction to Kylie's musk stick variations. Kylie's parents trust that all who meet her in the USA will understand our brand of English. Kylie will benefit greatly in meeting her friends in the USA.
ReplyDeleteI send food parcels over to Jeff all the time since you can get everything and more in the US, Anzac Biscuits are popular, as are Tim Tams and Caramello Koalas . .oh and the obligatory tube of Vegemite and of all things, Lift soft drink! . . just sayin.
ReplyDeleteI might need some of that sugar so I can get us home from the airport...
