Hellooooooooo, I'm standing RIGHT HERE. LOL. I'm choosing to rise above your immature and low-self-esteem driven comments.  ;)

OK, my four:

1. Eggo waffles (I know, I know... but they're my comfort food.)
2. Krusteaz mixes - fat-free buttermilk pancake and low-fat muffin mixes.
3. Tollhouse morsels
4. Coffee from the Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Company

sh*t!  I knew I was forgetting something!!!  I forgot to order coffee for you.  Sorry..  :-\\\\

Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…

I can get Baxters, but haven't seen the Bean & Bacon, even at the "big" Sainsburys we shop at.  I buy Sainsbury's Lentil & Bacon and that's okay.  But it's not condensed soup, so I can't "cook" with it.

I can only get it at the Baxter's shop up the road, so it may be a Scotland only thing.  :(

4. American and/or Italian Sausage

Sainsburys makes a 'Sicilian' variety sausage that tastes just like Italian sausage "back home".

I've tried that one and wasn't really impressed.   :(

I like their Tolouse Sausages ...

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.

Oh please don't, it's much more fun with others ;)

That's OK. We're learning to make do with Taylor's of Harrogate until I have a job and can afford to import my precious Blues Breaker. Besides, Briana forgot my tollhouse morsels - it's easy to do!!!!

Chocolate chips. I prefer using blocks of chocolate and hacking off great hunks of it, myself! Anything called a "morsel" is bound to be too small!  ;)

LOL! I quite agree- can you imagine "Green & Blacks MORSELS", I don't think so!

Thanks B- I was sure it was chocolate chips, but thought they would be Tollhouse Chocolate Chips ::)

Maybe I'm the lunatic (actually, that seems quite right seeing it in writing!) IS that what they're called or am I living in some weird alternate universe?  ;)

I'm not sure myself now. Are morsels different from chocolate chips?

I am presuming morsels covers a spectrum of chocolate chips/peanut butter chips/marshmallows that kind of thing

But I know the feeling you describe when you suddenly question the name of something you have known forever!

Ok so I don't feel so bad.  Your suitcase is sitting here full of my school stuff so as soon as I get up to Essex, I'll bring it back.  I don't want to unpack it now and just have to move everything twice.   ;)
