Things you desperately miss?

But in your currant situation, you might have to "make do and mend"

I'm just raisin it as possibility

 

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!  I see what you did there 

But no.... for me, I cannot see any situation desperate enough to substitute garibaldi biscuits for graham crackers.  Digestives, yes.  Ginger Nuts, yes.  Rich Tea, maybe.  But....URGH!!... not garibaldi. 

Gah! If only the sister-in-law still lived there. We always hit up the Soho store when we go to the West End. I also made their Pecan and Maple cake for our anniversary today and it was lovely, if I do say so myself.

I do stop in when I'm around Soho as well but I am loving the fact that I can get their stuff without having to go into London! I feel like I usually dread going into London (until I'm there) because it's just so much hassle.

They sell them in the Frito bag at high school football games here in Houston and at NRG and Minute Maid Park whilst watching the Houston Rockets and the Houston Astros.

I'm wondering what food I would eat in my underwear whilst watching Judge Judy Quite possibly strips of deep-fried bacon...
Yes, that's a thing here! It's good to be here

Deep fried bacon 🥓

No beans! No beans in a bowl of Texas Red.

Beans are for filler when you don't have enough meat. 

But the rest, yeah, with a quart of Iced Tea in a glass full of crushed ice to wash it down with.

Absolutely agreed!!! 

Keep your eyes and ears open for when Lupe Pintos do their annual Chilli Cook-off... you might get a decent chilli then, but apart from that and making your own, you won't get a good chilli here... it's always way too tomato-ey, and has all kinds of other weird stuff in it.

Ooooh, chili cook off?  Definitely will watch for that.

We have our own mix, and as soon as I get a crock pot I think I'll do up a batch. Crock pot is on the "to get" list after a stand mixer. We left the daughter's Sunbeam Heritage mixer behind, thinking it wouldn't do well here, but now really regret it as the potential replacements here are "ugly" and all have that planetary beater thing going. (Sigh)  Oh, well.... Yah, a nice big scoop of chili (made with shredded beef) on the top of a handful of Fritos, topped with diced onions and shredded longhorn cheese.

We got our slow cooker from Tesco and it was on offer and SO reasonably price (think it was literally £25 or something) and it's worked perfectly for the last 2+ years!

I can't make myself pay $5 for a tiny bag (Amazon).
However, if I'm ordering $25 worth of stuff from Target anyway....

 

Thanks!
Last time I searched for them online (a few years ago), I could only get these South African ones in weird flavours, when all I wanted was plain, salted ordinary Fritos.
