    Kettering and Corby? You went to some exciting places in the UK, Justin :shock: . Just make sure you come to Birmingham next time Ricky does, we missed you. If you want to know know how Maltesers are made and you want a laugh, try this website, the further down you read, the more bizarre and hilarious the suggestions: http://www.guardian.co.uk/notesandqu...,-6315,00.html - and darn it Lorchen, I'm now going to have to go and buy some tomorrow :lol: .
    Happy Quilting,

          Life is really tough when you're way over here and can't get Maltesers!!!!! :-) Okay that web site was hilarious - I loved the one that said they're made the same way Yanks & Brits are made

            The Yanks and Brits quip made me laugh out loud too. Life is tough Lorchen, you're quite right :lol: . I wonder if the US ladies will like English chocolate, I think it depends what you've grown up eating, I have to take chocolate with me when I visit the US, but I do like Reese's peanut butter cups, they're yummy .

                Ali, even though - looking at my very ample proportions - I shouldn't, I admit that I love anything that has peanut butter in it.

                As you know, I grew up in Germany, and taste in chocolates is somewhat varied across Europe. Here in the UK, milky chocolate seems to be the favourite. But I come from an area where the very dark, almost bitter, chocolate is much loved.

                I used to have an Auntie in Brazil. She brought some locally made chocolate for me on one of her rare visits. It was just a large slap and must have weighed about two pounds. There was no manufacturers name on it. It was the most delicious stuff I had ever eating. I can still taste it now, and that was about 45 years ago.

                Tante Mathilde also gave me a chunk of locally made and printed cotton fabric. The intention was for my mother to make it into a blouse for me, but she never got around to it. I have treasured that piece of fabric all these years, and I think that one of these days I should add a few fabrics to it and turn it into a quilt.

                  Speaking of chocolates, I used to have a boss who lived in Amsterdam. When he would come to the head office, he would always bring us handmade chocolates that he bought from a little shop there. They were absolutely the best thing I've ever tasted in my entire life!!!

                    Speaking of Chocolate and Amsterdam. My son called Friday evening. He had just returned from a week's business trip to The Netherlands and he said he had some chocolate for us from Amsterdam. Not good when you are on a diet but can't disappoint my son. I'll sacrifice myself.

                          Good health benefits come with chocolate - especially dark chocolate - good for your heart! I am being totally serious!!! Sounds to me like you are just making a healthy choice, Sandy! Mary Kay
