out of town treats

[ash1ee]

there were always goodies i'd want people to bring me back from their travels.

the grandparents would always bring us penguin bars from the uk. (which you can now buy here.) theyd also bring these giant hair pins from england for ballet.


i'm savoring my last box of lemonheads from seattle as i type.

any thing you love from another country and only get once in a blue moon?

A Boone.

It's a sandwich from the Sea Port Deli in Stonybrook New York.

It's 2 breaded chicken cutlets, with bacon and melted mozzarella on a roll with russian dressing.

Pretty much the greatest sandwich ever made.

To go sushi - Only in Sydney do they have small little booths were you can grab smaller sized rolls un-cut and wrap it in wax paper. It was almost like a sushi hot dog.

Pad Thai - In Thailand (the best)
