Last night I flew home to England.
After electrical problems in the cock-pit,
right engine failure while galloping down the runway,
a passenger having a diabetic seizure that led to
paramedics rushing on board,
and a blind woman having a panic attack and jumping ship
on our grim looking flight...
AA #78 took off 4 hours late.
But alas- I'm now in Oxford now with
Mr. Aspiring Kennedy.
Mr. Aspiring Kennedy.
{and he's still as handsome as always}
Now I'm unpacking my souvenirs
which look a little like this...
What can I say?
I'm a simple girl at heart.
Four months was a long time without some
high-sodium, processed, canned food.
Bring it on.
What comfort companions
would you bring along with you?
In a complete and total panic I might have consumed all those in addition to the 5 bags of Ketchup and Dill Pickle potato chips (i know how much you love chips...hehe), cinnamon spread, and mccain deep and delicious cake. It would be a hot mess.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you made it home alive!!
xo,

That lineup is awesome. I hope there's some Velveeta hiding behind there for queso! Unfortunately that's a staple in my diet. Sounds like a dramatic return back to the UK...glad you make it back in one piece :)
ReplyDeleteI would absolutley bring ketchup, macaroni and cheese, ramen noodles, and potato chips! your choices look great :)
ReplyDeletemac and cheese alllllll day long. oh and your flight sounds horrific. glad you made it back safely.
ReplyDeleteOh awesome! You feel so satisfied and appreciative after you return from a trip! Beautiful blog! <3 your posts!
ReplyDeleteHahaha good idea! Look, you can't blame a girl for needing her comforts, right? :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteMac and cheese and ramen for sure :-)
ReplyDeleteRuffles potato chips and french onion dip would be on my list!
ReplyDeleteoh yum!!! i love lots of candy when i travel - oh and gum. :) i also love my some chex mix...something salty.
ReplyDeletewelcome back!!
Nutella and chocolate chip cookies--breakfast of champions.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Jiffy corn muffin mix! :)
ReplyDeleteI dont' know if I eat much more processed food on a normal basis besides Bread and Cheese and Pasta!

Oh dear - what a dreadful flight - but at least you made it safely back - that's what counts! I'm a salt girl so chips are my weakness - but they don't travel so well. I guess my second choice would be salted nuts!
ReplyDeleteRanch dip mix, rotel and fritos are always top of my list when I come back! Nect time you are in London check out Partridges (there is one in Sloane Sq and one on Gloucester Road) because they have a great variety of American foods!
ReplyDeleteFlying used to be so glamorous.
ReplyDeleteYou should open up a shop there, You cannot be the only one with such an taste for some of those delicacies. Mine would be country ham, grits and black-eye gravy. The eggs are universal.
Glad you made it home with some home goods.

ooh I so feel you, when I go back home I bring a ton of food I miss here!
ReplyDeletei would be that woman having a panick attack asking to get off after all that! this is odd but if i was living abroad, i'd have to bring back a can of Tony's Chachere. when i lived in NYC, you used to not be able to find RoTel there so i brought that back w/ me before...but now you can find it there. my friends up there had never had RoTel/Velvetta, which i loved as a teen but not so much now.
ReplyDeleteHello,
