Sometimes we are our own worst enemy..

So a lot of good things have happened this week. Got everything started with my paperwork for government assistance.. already got my food stamps card. But I made a small mistake I got my favorite snack to munch on and have been paying for it.. Yep pepperoni cheese and crackers is not okay for me to eat yet... but dang do I love it.

Sometimes we have to learn the hard way what we should not be doing.
 
It was comfort food gone rouge.
I have had an odd craving for Cadbury milk chocolate and I cant find it! In desperation I ordered from Amazon but they messed up and canceled the order.
I cant sleep for craving it.
 
Hi Maymay, can you go to some high-end food store in your area to get it? Although I don't eat Cadbury I have heard of it and I have the impression it isn't found in just any old Publix or Winn-Dixie! Isn't that the company that used to have TV commercials with a rabbit clucking like a chicken???
 
That Billie is the amazing and much beloved Cadbury egg!!
I used to be literally addicted to chocolate but somehow it just stopped. So I dont know how readily Cadbury bars are available. But- im -in -big-trouble- now!
Pepperoni and cheese sounds appealing.....
 
Hi, MayMay: our version of Kroger still has Cadbury, albeit not all versions at same time, in these days of Covid. Do you get Lindt?

Kroger owns about 12 brand-name stores. I'm lookimg at today's Pharmacy bag and it says: King Soopers, Ralphs, City Market, Dillons, Fred Meyers (ours), Food4Less, Smiths, Fry's, Bakers, JayC, Gerbes, and QFC.
The trouble with getting via mail is if it freezes or melts!
I think it's David's Chocolates that packs it in a Cold Pac in summer. but it ain't Cadbury (it's better, but that's my opinion. When you crave, you crave!). It also takes too big an order to make shipping worth while. Still, it made a great gift for a friend for her 60th B-Day.

I can stop eating chocolate any time, but I'm no quitter!

Is there a Emoticon with a wink? Consider yourself Winked.
 
Laalaauk so very sweet, I am glad to know people take Cadbury seriously!
I'm alright I can get some even locally(must try just one more store) but the the kind thoughts are better than even chocolate
 
It is my favourite apart from posh chocolate like Lindt. I wonder if there is any difference to the recipe for American Cadbury to English Cadbury, even though I know it is an American brand now?
 
American Cadbury, English Cadbury good thinking! Even the milk used in it might be different in flavor, subtle.
Lindt is every ones favorite is that what I am hearing?
 
Hi @AlasSouth, there is an emoticon for a wink and it is right here! ;) It's in the top row (at least on mine) second from the left! Have fun! ;)
 
Happy Thanksgiving! Please stay safe!
Thanks, Billliveshere. My eyesight has a hard time with that tiny stuff.
Hershey is rejected! After Cadbury it tastes/feels like it has wax in it.
I'll take the dark chocolate with truffle and the nut sprinkles, which requires a full-bodied red wine. Yum!
Seriously, the cows eat different in the UK, and get less chemicals.
In Mexico, the village I lived in, the cows ate mustard in the ditches - could you ever taste it.
Are the milk cows in the UK Holstiens? That makes a difference. The wife grew up in a farm with a Jersey for milk. Probably 8% cream! All natural grasses. She had a real hard time adjusting to the 2%. When we get fruit like blueberries, ripe peaches, we get heavy whipping cream. Yum! Sinful. Yum! Then she steals mine because the bowl you steal tastes better!
Happy Thanksgiving!
 
Hey @AlasSouth, I know what yo mean abiout eyesight and ":the tiny stuff!" And I completely get that the bowl you steal always tastes better somehow! That's interesting, your take on cows in various places eating different things. But mustard in the ditches? That's a new one and wouldn't the cows in the U.K.be Jerseys since they originally came from the Jersey islands? So does anyone here from the U.K. know?
Well maybe we shouldn't have a cow over this but happy Thanksgiving! And I was just wondering, in Alaska do you have roast turkeys for Thanksgiving or roast ptarmigan? :D
 
Maymay, I love your new dolly photo! I just ate a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, but now I'm hungry for a Cadbury dark chocolate bar. Despite challenges in our lives, I hope everyone is feeling grateful for someone or somethinh in their lives today.
 
Thank you for enjoying my private joy Boasammy. I think I used her before, a short lived period of a few years when a couple companies made all metal dolls. The dolls are my avatar, they better represent my quirky eccentric self better than anything else
 
Hi, Billliveshere! We did turkey, this time. The Spruce Grouse is what we have here, in this area, and are they making a come-back. Cyclic. SouthEast AK has the Blue Grouse, too.
They are pretty darned dumb. It's a good think they can explode into flight, because they'll let the dog get within a couple of feet. (Our dog is slow.) Otherwise, they just run into the brush. Or stand there. They don't turn color, like the snow-shoe hares or ptarmigan, and that brown pattern actually would make them hard to spot, if they weren't so dumb as to just stand there in plain sight! Poor flyers, so they kind of crash into the tree branches to land. Tasty, but I haven't eaten them in a lot of years. They aren't as big than a pheasant, when all is said and done.
I was hiking on a ridge line when the wind and rain came up, and it "snapped" my rain-poncho. You might say it scared the pee out of me, when that grouse exploded out from practically under my foot, and something more serious out of the Grouse.
 
Alas you and the grouse had me in stitches!
In NC it's copperhead rattlesnakes you dont want to scare from under foot
 
Hi @AlasSouth, I guess that spruce grouse really had something to grouse about when you came along that ridge!!! :D That was a fun to read account about the grouses (is the plural for grouse grice???) up where you are. And down here in the lower 48 we thought turkeys were dumb!!
And Maymay, that is a very eye-catching photo you have! It's really ....red!!!:) Collecting vintage dolls sounds like a really interesting and unique hobby. How did you get into doing that?
And @boasammy, I was thankful and grateful yesterday for good things and for someone in my life. Hope all of you had a wonderful day despite the challenges this year. Here's to better days coming soon!
