Best wait till Sunday this time hun :-) Too much temptation isn't good for the waistline, though it may help on the suitcase weigh-in

Re: POE What treats can we bring into the US?
A rather nice Beagle found my wife's Apple on Monday.
Dog got a treat, we got to put all or bags throuh the machine. I think they thought they had discovered a major apple smuggling operation.
Still trying to work out how it was all my fault.

Ha! Sounds like you're having a good time missy! DH just had 4 bags of Ariel smuggled up from Mexico. It was meant to be 5 but the mule decided if it was good enough for DH, she must need a bag of it too.

Caley's? I'm also from Norwich and the thing I miss most from home is the chocolate. Seriously hoping that 7 weeks home (May 1st to June 20th) is going to be long enough for me to get my next 2 year's worth fix! 
I also miss lamb. The one meat you really struggle to find in Hawaii and, of course, it would happen to be my favourite.
I'll be heading to Wittards for my tea fix, then Tesco for my Bird's custard powder and my Yorkshire tea bags. Customs here are pretty good, they look twice, laugh, shake their heads and mutter about the "English" being eccentric and wave me through.

Hubby smuggled through 2 humungous bars of Galaxy, 1 huge bar of Fruit & Nut, 2 huge bars Mint Aero, 5 pack Boosts, Double Deckers, Milky Way, Fry's Turkish Delight, 2 huge tubs Bisto Gravy Granuals, 2 pkts beef OXO cubes, 2 jars Coleman's Mint Sauce, 2 tubs Korma Curry Powder, 2 pkts ea Colemans Beef Bourguinon Mix, Beef Stroganoff Mix, 3 pkts ea Caramel Wafers, Caramel Logs, Jaffa Cakes, 2 large jars Marmite, 1 large jar Branston Pickle, 1 jar Mary Berry's Lemon & Thyme Sauce, 3 pkts Easi-Yo Yoghurt Mix with no probs in April. Followed closely by in-laws in March with more chocolate, bisto and biscuits.
The secret is to get someone else to do the smuggling that way you will never be caught.
PS. In laws brought Dairy Milk with Apricot Crunch - WTH !! - I suppose I can suck the chocolate off and leave the apricot - bleuch !!

I did read that they had gone into receivership, so maybe they aren't open anymore.
