A taste treat fit for a King (or Queen)

The thawing of US/British relations. . .

As I sit down to write this entry, President Bush is in the midst of his farewell tour to Europe. In a few days he will arrive in Britain to say his final goodbye. Needless to say, the last seven years have caused considerable strain between Britain and 'the colonies.'

When the Williams clan came to visit Maurene and I they brought two 'must have' items with them. Marshmallow Fluff is a staple of the Ron Garner diet and can only be obtained at exorbitant prices in the United Kingdom. Whilst they were here, I introduced them to the joys of addictive McVities Digestives. Upon their departure, I began experimenting by spreading Marshmallow Fluff on the individual biscuits and then topping this all off with a second biscuit. This made for a McVitie/Fluff sandwich. The taste is indescribable but can best be captured by simply calling it a gourmet s'more -that wonderful treat that is often created over the great American campfire.

I have determined that if the makers of Marshmallow Fluff and McVities Digestives would combine their efforts, that the strain of the last seven years would quickly be diminished.

We still haven't found a useful combination for Maurene's Strawberry Twizzlers.
