Crisis averted due to judicious unchecking of a checkbox

I nearly got shipped to Belgium. That was close.

If you're ever in merrie olde Englande, and you're looking for something to bring back for little old me, grab a bag of Claudio Corallo chocolates at Fortnum and Mason.

We can't get those volcanically grown single origin beauties in this here great nation of ours because of the dumb fuck USAPATRIOTIAMADUMBREDNECK Act.

U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

Or not.

(I'm not bitter. The chocolate is. I'm just overtired.)

(Also I just want to say once again that I love the near infinite variety in cheese, wine, and chocolate. That is all.)

You're a couple of months late with the England-pickup request!

I did get some Dr. Who (Tennant) stickers for the geeks back here...

I once had a lemon-esque tasting cheese from the UK that went ambrosia-scale well with a good shiraz. And of course, can't find again in this country. Then I remembered I'd had it on Toronto.

I feel your pain.

I just love how impossible it is to find unpasteurized dairy products in the states. Roche Bros has a "raw cheddar" that is made from Organic Valley.

Seriously, whenever I have time and am not direly exhausted from my job, we should have a foodie day.
