Aero Bars!
2/05/2006 03:22:00 PM I don't know if anyone remembers these, but I do know they don't make 'em in the states anymore (but I hear they do in Canada). Anyways, one of the things I've discovered (or rediscovered if you will) are these little chocolate (or chocolate and mint, or chocolate and caramel, or chocolate and irish creme filled) bars, called "Aero". I remember them from when I was living in Broken Bow, probably around 2nd or 3rd grade because 1) it was rare that my brother and I ever got to get a candy bar from the grocery store and 2) the distinct design of them. The insides look like little honey combs, or the inside of a bee hive. They're insane. But a while ago, we had stopped in a little store in the tube station while we waited, and I saw them and freaked out. Of course I got one then. And then a whole package later in a Tesco (like a mini grocery market you find all over in London) last week sometime. But now my stock pile has run out (since then, now my roomate and others have discovered their deliciousness, and helped me devour them) and it makes me a bit sad. I think at the end of the semester I may have to send a box of them home. So what has happened with me all of this past week since my last update. Well, considering I'm living in another country, I find that some of my defense mechanisms have either been damaged, or deemed invalid. I'm talking about my excuses to not try new foods or to not do some activity because I'd suck or look retarded. None of it matters, because somehow being in another country cancels that all out. How do I cope with this? Well, Tuesday I went to an Indian Market to look at lots of bohemian dresses and really girly clothes with some friends, played Tennis even though mom and Tina can rarely get me to go (don't worry, everyone else sucked more than I did, but it was fun, and we decided to make it a weekly thing), and yes...even ate Tai food. I know, I know....but hey, I've let a couple people get me to eat Chinese before (again, not mom--though she begs, haha) so it wasn't that much of a stretch. It wasn't that bad either (after I picked the giant peppers and onions off of it). Maybe by the time I get home, I'll actually let Maggie's mom feed me some eggplant...that's a maybe. The week flew by fast though, and although I managed to upload some more photos to my photobucket, and squeeze a new post in, I do have a test (first one!) tommorrow to study for. You Stay Classy....World -Steph As promised, the pictures of me in a tree, on the 'circle' in the middle of the road, and a few extras. Don't worry, fully size version are at the photobucket, link on the right ;) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
