Wow and thanks for all the posts...it is interesting the things people miss.
While we lived in Australia we longed for "A&W" (Root Beer), "RC Cola" and Jiffy corn bread...all of which are available at the USA Foods Store in Melbourne...there was also a candy store at the Warringah Mall (I don't remember the name) that also had candy from around the world (and A&W)...
Now in the USA it is #1 Tim Tams as well as a whole host of other things like Lamingtons (my wife can make a pretty good one that has already been featured in a local bake sale) and I am almost embarrassed to say a "Kebab"...
I don't mind the cold (I'm self insulating) so much but my kids do...for me it is the darkness at 5:00 pm that is hard....I won't mention the lack of Southern Sky sights and the clouds we have had here, they have been shocking...
Anyway, I sure do miss Australia... your posts have helped make me smile.
