Lydia is getting so big, but one of her favorite treats from “home” is toddler puffs. They’re really beginner finger foods, but are so very tasty. We especially like Walmart Parent’s Choice Little Puffs (plus calcium) in any of the fruit flavors. Since Lydia can’t have any milk products, I am a big fan of the “plus calcium” part! They come in a pringles-type canister and remind me a lot of cereal :^) Just a thought in case anyone’s looking for ideas for Lydia!!
Chocolate
Maybe I’m weird, since I know you can get excellent chocolate here, but I am such a Hershey’s girl. Even when faced with plenty of fancy “designer” chocolates, I would 99% of the time rather have the plain old American stuff 🙂 I love regular Hershey’s Kisses and plain chocolate bars. On a side note, I also really like mini Reese’s cups, especially around Christmas…maybe because Mom always had them around the house then even though she can’t stand PB! I know Matt mentioned his preference for normal or even big cups, but that just means that if someone feels like sending minis sometime, I’ll have them all to myself…bwaa haa haa!!
Pada Kisa (aka…rain!)
I found out why…
…I can’t spell.
Turns out that I know how to spell too good to spell.
Yeah right…Truth is I can’t spell because I can’t spell.
If this works….
….this is cool. It is a new program called ubiquity. It is a very very alpha pre-alpha piece of software to try to help people make mash-ups.
Books
In Serbia, we couldn’t get many English language books. Â Now that we are in the UK, interestingly enough, we can. Â However, we won’t turn down books if you want to send us any. Â Since we prefer ebooks, you can now gift kindle books.
Before you send books, why not check out some free ebook sites just to make sure we can’t already get them for free. The Gutenberg Project is a good place to start.
[Updated 2012-12-26Â 10:34:23] Our situation has been different since we moved to the UK. Â I hadn’t revisited this since we moved.
Double Stuff Oreos
Oreos are awesome frozen. We’ll take either regular or double-stuff, but prefer the double-stuff kind.
Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
Either the regular old fashioned Reeses Cups or the new Big cups. I’m not a great fan of the mini-cups. In order to help us portion control either two per pack or singles of the smaller size or one per pack of the big cups. Sorry to be so picky, but we need these things to last and if we open a whole package and are presented with 3 or 4 (in a king size) we’ll have to eat them…we don’t have any way to store them once opened.
Wal Mart Thick and Creamy Mac and Cheese
Sorry, I couldn’t find a link for this. It is the Wal Mart Brand Thick and Creamy mac and cheese. If you can’t find it, regular wal mart brand stuff (we think both are far superior to Kraft).
But, we have milk. We have butter. We have pasta. All we need are the sauce packets. Just get the stuff, open the box, and send us the sauce packets. That’s all we need.
Lemon Lime Kool Aid
Lemon Lime Kool-Aid. Sugar is plentiful here, so we don’t need the stuff with sugar already in it. We also don’t need the sugar free kind. They just take up too much space. Just the plain old packets of Lemon-Lime kool aid.
