Autumn Mix - Oh no, Mr. Bill!

Any time Maurene or I return to the states for a visit, we usually try to bring back those items that we can't get in the UK. Sadly, I haven't been able to figure out how to transport White Castles, Skyline Chilli, or Cassanos Pizza. But, we usually bring back Red Twizzlers or Butterfingers for Maurene. My list is more extensive and actually quite seasonal -Black Jelly Beans and Marshmallow Peeps at Easter, those soft peppermint thingys with the trees in the middle at Christmas, for Halloween and Thanksgiving I prefer Autumn Mix.

So it was with great joy that Maurene arrived in Bristol from her trip to see Jessica with two giant sized Butterfingers (for me!!) a bag of orange slices (which were Dad's favourite) and two bags of Autumn Mix -that terribly sugary confectionery treat that I simply can't resist. So, less than 48 hours later the bag of orange slices has disappeared, one butterfinger has been reduced to a few small slivers of chocolate with some yellow/orange middle attached and one bag of Autumn Mix has bitten the dust.

Who needs caffeine when you can get high on sugar? Anyway, just a little over a month till I travel home. Can't wait to sink my teeth into some of those peppermint tree thingys.
