Krafting My Return


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.
{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?

  1. 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.

    So glad you made it home alive!!

  2. 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 :)

  12. 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!

  13. Ranch 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!

  14. Flying used to be so glamorous.
    You 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.

  16. i 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.
