As most of you know, I am in love with the Cadbury Creme egg. It does not exist here and I crave it every Easter. Well, my friend, Michelle, from college, who lives in Australia, was so kind to ship me some eggs that she found ALL the way to me here in Peru. Australia to Peru! That is a long trek. I was so happy and suprised to receive them. I was generous and shared the "little" eggs with my kids. There were three "big" eggs in the package. I ate two, but not at the same time, mind you. I had one left and wouldn't you know, some little thief cute kid stole it and gobbled it up as quick as they could. I was more sad that I wouldn't get the third egg than I was about the actual thievery itself. I must say that every single bit of the two eggs were pure heaven. I loved them and they were worth every fattening calorie.
My other good friend, Amy, has promised to send some eggs to a team that is coming next week, so hopefully this blog will serve as a reminder of how heartbroken I will be if she forgets!
Anyway, the reason that Michelle knew I loved Cadbury Eggs is because a few months ago she went back and started reading my blog from the very beginning. She read every single post and remembered my favorite chocolate Easter passion. How cool is that?
Anyway, do you know how everyone has a "happy" place they should go to when they are sad or in pain? Well, my happy place is the chocolate river in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. It is my favorite place to go when I need to just check out. And in my happy place, it is also filled with Cadbury Eggs.
What's your favorite chocolate treat and where is your happy place?

The chocolate river is my happy place too:) Although, chocolate has become a trigger for migraines for me BUT if I take a migraine pill and then eat the chocolate sometimes it works out....lol
What precious friends and you deserve them ALL!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my first blog shout out! I will never forget the day my American friend walked up to my desk in Canberra with a bag of peanut butter M&Ms. It was one of the most joyous moments in my life - I'm not exaggerating. He had ordered them online and had them shipped to Australia JUST FOR ME! I was so touched and now I'm so happy to be able to pay it forward. When you are Stateside, maybe you can send a sweet treat to a friend overseas and keep the chain going. I think it's just as much fun to send them as it is to receive them. I recently brought an American friend dryer sheets (I found them at the one and only Costco in Australia on a recent trip to Melbourne) and she still thanks me profusely! I love giving small presents - it's the best.
I LOVE cadbury eggs, but I just keep them in the pantry and wait weeks to eat them in anticipation- then my cute little munchkins get them before me!
We'll go to Rock springs and have cadbury eggs for lunch :)
I didn't forget the eggs....and you can keep them all to yourself this time:-) I PRAY they aren't melted by the time that they get to you!!!
