Since Tamara is back in Canada, now, she was asking everyone if there was anything they wanted her to bring back. So what does America have that Australia doesn't? What do people who have been to the US or Canada miss?
Turns out most of it is food. Ben and I miss bagels, Farina, Breyers ice cream, and Taco Bell (...well, Taco Bell is mostly Ben). Unfortunately, you can't bring any of those things into Australia. Despite reassurances from Christina, we've found that Mexican food/restaurants are surprisingly absent here, which is a bummer. And pierogies - none of those here, which is especially hard coming from Chicago where there were lots of great pierogies. A big thing that other people requested is Reece's Peanut Butter Cups. They don't have any equivalent chocolate/peanut butter candy, here. Also, Tamara decided to bring back stuff for s'mores, because they don't have graham crackers or the right marshmallows, here. The other thing we miss is Trader Joe's, but I don't think Tamara is fitting one of those in her bag! I'm sure other things will emerge as we're here longer. Of course we miss all our family and friends, but I don't think any of you would be happy to have Tamara cram you in her luggage.

OK - it's the Saturday before Easter. Maybe our feast today will be farina for breakfast, Taco Bill for dinner, (hmmm... Breyer's is dairy - I guess it'll be breakfast, too.) Reece's PBCs for dessert. (Did you ever noticed that "desserts" is "stressed" spelled backwards?) Still working on Trader Joe's.
