you can’t get dill pickles, marshmallows and hotdogs there???
yeh… ask Jenn hotdogs come in a can. marshmallows are pink & white and far far far sweeter than the “American” ones, and the dill pickles are tasteless….not the good old home made mennonite ones you can get at the MCC sale!!
Ah, Karen and I made the list! Yes, there is nothing like home, eh? Visiting or living in ‘exotic’ locales is cool for awhile, but there’s nothing like coming home to a good ol’ Junior Bacon Cheeseburger from Wendy’s and a slurpee from the Shell station at the corner of Gladwin and George Ferguson Way. We miss you here.
ohhhh the things I forgot to put on the list! even McDonald’s isn’t the same ….
Yes there is nothing like the comforts of home ….
