Something Smells . . . Awesome!

A friend of mine needed some chocolate for a wedding and needed to go pick it up HOURS away from here. . . .so she graciously offered to take other people’s orders and pick it up for ALL of us.

Because I am a chocolate fan and I wanted to encourage her generosity, I offered to help divvy it up. 

Phew!  My friends like love chocolate!  We separated over 1000 lbs. into 5 lb. increments.

She made a lot of people VERY happy and it was just in time for holiday baking.  What a great example of service.

Our Last Hurrah

Before we left the Toronto area, we drove to Mississauga, a suburb of Toronto to visit some people Jennifer wanted to visit.
We saw some interesting architecture there.

That was the only building I had the presence of mind to take a picture of.  Oh well.
We spent the night in London, Ontario.  Before heading to the border, we stocked up on Canadian chocolate which is far superior to United States chocolate. 
The Aero bar is a chocolate bar filled with air bubbles.  I guess that is supposed to be pretty tasty.  Who knew!



This beauty is “It is a hazelnut cream filled wafer with a chocolate covering.”  Bueno bars are pretty tasty!

I have to admit I did not sample the Big Turk.  It just didn’t sound all that appealing to me.  “It contains pink coloured Turkish Delight, which is coated in milk chocolate.”  Would you try it?
It is loved by Canadians for its delicious chewy combination of roasted peanuts, crunchy rice crisps and smooth caramel, all wrapped in Cadbury milk chocolate.  (I didn’t try this either since I am not a fan of peanuts.)

Who knew Smarties were chocolate!  They are in Canada. . .sort of like plain m&m’s.

I am pretty sure KitKats (Canadian-style) were my favorite.  So much better than anything we can get around here.  KitKats are made by Nestle in every country except the USA. . . hmmmm.  I wonder what Hershey’s does that makes it not taste as delicious?
We thought this the best way to spend the last of our Canadian currency.
Problem was that we found ourselves in need of a rest room just before the border.  After a half hour of searching for any place that might have a “washroom” we finally found one at a convenience store. We felt obligated to buy something . . .like

Lucky for us, they accepted US currency!
