For @Cesar R M , I think your buddies in Mexico made this 11 ounce bag of Hershey Miniatures, that I bought at the supermarket last Saturday. I asked hubby to take a picture of the back of the bag for me, and it says (Mfg.) Manufactured in Mexico. (Look about 4-5 lines above the bar code from the bottom.) I found it interesting that some bags of chocolate were made here in the U.S. and some came from Mexico. O.k. Let's see if uploaded his picture correctly--fingers crossed! I think if you click on the jpeg thing, it should show the picture.

Hmm, I wonder if the whole "USA PRODUCT, MANUFACTURED IN MEXICO" is the same I've seen on other products.

Sometimes the labels dont say the whole truth.
For example, there is a factory of SEAGATE hard disks in Mexico.
they are then shipped to the US assembled but not boxed, and then stamped "MADE IN THE USA" (the box says made in the US, but the inner labels codes shows Mexico, same with the serial numbers.)

The question is, the chocolate is done in Mexico? or just the packaging and plastics?

cue the amazing world of Globalization!

Good Grief! That's a lotta milk. My SO drinks milk with every meal. I'm allergic to it; gives me awful hives and "gastric distress". So I drink wine instead

so, you end looking "classier" while your SO looks more Farmer type?

 

[Cesar R M]

I think @JenniferS should invest in a milk cow for the back yard...but I'm not sure just one could keep up with demand in her household

careful, her sons might end drying the cow up completely..

As usual, my eyes were bigger than my belly.
I ate all the potatoes (duh!), but gave more than half of the chicken to Hubby.

I really envy your hubby.. he gets all the best parts of the food.. then you give him a huge chunk of your part

So back in February I posted this screen up in Disneyland as the prepared the castle for the 60th Birthday of Disneyland.......

So I saw this photo this evening on Touring Plans.

I found it depressing so far...

Looks like the bunting that is hung to honor people that have recently passed on.

I'm pretty sure they are going to install more stuff.. some turrets are still blocked.
plus you dont install the 60th anniversary stuff that early.

 

[Cesar R M]

CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!!

but its not my cat.. plus they dont sell gold fish, plus she never naps when I'm around.. she just mews, walks around me and demands petting.

 

[Gabe1]

Oh goodie! I love it when somebody else is willing to take the plunge, and then report back to the fan base!

I read the review on the Disney Food Blog from Monday. The one he liked most I wouldn't like. The entire blog seemed more forced than usual. Then came the food calculator. I tended to agree if you were on the dining plan but an $80 family of 4 breakfast without characters kinda hit home. Much better offerings out there for the $$$$ unless it is a Dining Plan credit...and even then Sunshine seems to offer up more.

Yeah but at present, it looks depressing. I'm not sure if you guys bunt for death but that is what this reminds me of in the moment.

Love Laverne and Shirley. Why don't any of the good shows come on TV anymore?

My Grandfather likes milk and Pepsi or Coke. I like milk and I like Pepsi (way better than Coke) but I don't even want to try them together.

I grew up drinking milk with my Pizza, an awful combo. My Dad was firm on me drinking milk and eating eggs. Both many years later doctors said I should avoid as my body revolted against them. Explains why on weekend I tended to be sick always.

My best friends live an hour north of us so add that for them. The money they saved flying out of PIT was worth the drive.

I'd drive that and more for the adventure you two are going to have. Blessed to have friends like that.

 

[Gabe1]

I have 2 sisters that are 11 and 10 years older, then there's one more sister 3 years younger than myself.

Wow! That is like two sets of 2 children for your folks!

so, you end looking "classier" while your SO looks more Farmer type?

Hey, what are you saying?
I don't drink wine. I do drink milk.
Did you just call me an unclassy farmer type?
