I'm 'avin' 'Oops

[charliesmum]

Charlie, as I've mentioned before, likes Hoops.. He says they taste better than 'Spaghetti-Os. I wouldn't necessarily expect him to tell the difference in a blind taste test, but, as a card-carrying Anglophile, who am I to argue when my son prefers a British product, right?

Wegman's used to carry them, but they stopped. There is a British shop in Haddonfield, The English Gardener that carries them, most of the time.

They know me at that shop. Is anyone surprised?

Recently the owner of the shop, when he ordered more Hoops, ordered an extra case for me and Charlie. Seriously. I bought the case, and got a 10% discount for doing so, so as of yesterday afternoon I was the proud owner of 24 cans of Hoops.

Well, 23, as Charlie had some for dinner.

er...22, he had one for breakfast, too.

Make that 21, since he just made himself another bowl.

This is all Gene Hunt's fault.

I still want to try that spaghetti pie recipe from the Heinz website, although I suspect it might be a being of unspeakable horror.

It's actually pretty good. I usually had bread and butter with spaghetti anyway, so it wasn't a stretch to me? But yeah, good.

Oh, me too. I keep forgetting about it. It does sound like it will either be fabulous or really, really horrible. I may give it a go, assuming Charlie doesn't blow through the Hoops before breakfast. :)

Hahaha!!!

Gene Hunt is responsible for quite a lot of things in this house, but I've never been tempted to eat spaghetti hoops since childhood.

Interestingly, we have a US foods store in Milton Keynes where I stock up on Goldfish crackers at every opportunity. I don't know why, but I just love them!

Well, goldfish crackers are very good. Do they have the pretzel kind there? Because if they don't I will totally send you some. And other goldfish if you'd like!
