Canadian Care Package

I’m almost all packed and ready to head down south of the border to the land of temples, red rocks, and fry sauce.  For my Canadian friends still living in the land of the free, instead of the true north, I’m bringing goodies!  These are a bunch of our favorite items that you can’t seem to get in the States, and I used to stock up on every time I went back to Canada for a visit.  Most of these are for a good friend in Salt Lake, who despite my best efforts to feed her up with chocolate and pastries remains a size 0!  First off we have Sleemans Cream Ale, which is my favorite beer.  Then Reverse Decadent Cookies, which are so good it defies description.  The regular ones are pretty good as well, but I predict squeals of delight and munching when she sees the reverse ones.  Then of course buttertarts!  I love buttertarts so much, and like to make them, but these No Name brand ones are pretty fine as well.  They are a pastry shell filled with raisins, corn syrup, sugar, and caramelize into yummy gooey goodness.  Cadbury chocolate eggs for Easter, and of course Smarties, the real kind not those weird sugar ones.  Cadbury’s chocolate for Mr. R, a Mars bar for Mr. G, a Coffee Crisp, Mr. Big and Oh Henry bar to round out the chocolate selections.  I packed some clothes and knitting as well!  I can’t really bring healthy snacks with me as I hit the border in three hours (hopefully at 6 am) and can’t bring anything perishable with me.  A previous trip I bought carrots and celery in Helena Montana and got a nasty case of food  poisoning for my trouble in Idaho (ick!). 

If you need me for anything, I’ll be here:

Posting shall be irregular for the next week and a half, see you when I can get some WIFI.  Probably at Mondo Cafe “Coffee:Still Legal in Utah”.  (2nd best slogan of all time, 1st is “Polygamy Porter: Why Have Just One”.
