 ML>>> I opened a prize from Australia, Cadbury Dairy Milk with
 ML>>> Vegemite (limited edition). First words that came out of my
 NB>>> it mostly tasted like a meaty caramel in the chocolate...
 RH>> We took the rest home and have been enjoying it for what it is. do
 RH>> they make a dark chocolate version?
 NB>> Cadbury has dark chocolate, so maybe...  But maybe not...

 RH> We probably won't actively seek it out but if one happens to fall into
 RH> our laps, we'll try it and give a review.

You'd probably have to have an Australian (or English) connection for
that to happen... or an enterprising Brit import shop around... ;)  
 
 ML>>> Spicy snack mix from Nancy, peas, sesame sticks, peanuts,
 ML>>> spicy peanuts. This was too spicy for Ruth but okay for the
 ML>>> rest of us.
 RH>> Not that they were too spicy for me but it was 95% carbs, 5% protein.
 RH>> It was too heavy on the carbs for me; I did take a few of the peanuts
 RH>> but none of the other stuff in the mix.
 NB>> You could have had more of the peanuts... Most of the ones Gail took
 NB>> out of the container went to Dale... she might have shared them with
 NB>> you, had you mentioned that was all you were eating out of the
 NB>> mix... :)  Did you have any of the red (spicy) peanuts...?

 RH> I just nibbled once, and don't recall if I had any of the red peanuts
 RH> or not. My blood glucose readings were going up that week so I tried
 RH> not to do a lot of between meal snacking. 

The red peanuts were probably the spiciest part of that mix... the red
was a cayenne coating... 

 RH> Now that we're home, I'm doing much better. I'm balancing the carbs
 RH> and proteins a lot easier and overall, eating on regular hours.
 RH> Then too, we've not had to wait for chicken to be cooked in the rain
 RH> over a recalcitrant charcoal grill either; Steve really put out the
 RH> effort that night.

For sure.  :)  I think the only thing that that grill cooked ok were the
chicken sausages and the white hots... that didn't need much, just
heating...  ;)  The rain certainly didn't help things at all... ;0

We tried not to be too far off-schedule, but sometimes things were just
not in our control... ;)
