  • mmm

    Just discovered Reese’s White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. They are so good.

    For various reasons, I don’t eat “brown” chocolate. I love Reece’s Pieces, and so these are perfect. But with 910kJ per pack, I won’t be eating too many.

    Typically, these things are a time-limited edition. Sweets I like always get discontinued. I guess that’s why I make my own.

  • is this thing on, eh?

    Since this is my first entry in my first blog, I think I’m supposed to quote something clever:

    For imperial Britain, rapid expansion overseas was a sign not of economic strength but of underlying weaknesses at home. An empire that looked impressive and invincible on the map later proved to be remarkably fragile, shrinking much faster than it had grown. — Eric Schlosser, Fast Food Nation, Afterword.

    I’ve just re-read FFN, this time in the extended edition. It’s better the second time around. And he’s right about Conway’s burgers in Colorado Springs — they’re that good.

    On Monday our family got a colour television. It is a Murphy television and it is white and it has ITA1 and ITA2 and B.B.C.2. And it keeps on going funny. And it is very big.

    Once we got tadpoles and they grew until they were little frogs. And there was lots of little frogs about the house and they all got killed so we made a little crematorium of matches then we lit it and then pooh what a pong! if any frogs get killed please burn them. (Please feed them live plankton.)
