But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.

I still eat, but by God does that bran taste like cardboard.
Insert wonderfully creative signature here …

Clearly only has good taste in women, not in food :P

Thank you ... I think? ???

If you could have your local grocery carry four American items not currently available to you, what would they be?

There's only one thing I miss and that's water-packed white albacore tuna. I can get it at Sainsbury's, but it's very expensive and there's not one near me. But that's honestly the only thing that I miss. For the most part, I can get everything I need here, or else I've found alternatives that I like even better than the American version.

I can only come up with two:

Campbell's Bean w/Bacon condensed soup
B&M Brown Bread in a tin - with or without raisins.

That's it, really.

1. Waffles (the flour kind)
2. Waffle makers
3. Selection of maple syrups (although this isn't so bad now that rain sent me a bottle of immitation maple)
4. Selection of frozen Mexican entrees

Isn't it funny that after five years I still yearn for a good Mexican dinner? I've even learned to make quite a few Mexican dishes but it's not the same as hitting a restaurant or even - dare I say it? - Taco Bell.
I know I'm late - where's the booze?

I'm pretty well adjusted here so there isn't anything I really miss that much with the exception of drive thru banks!! I hate going to the bank here. Such a hassle trying to find parking!
