Oh NO!

I just realised. Newfoundland=not Montreal=no Fairmount bagels.

This is a Bad Thing.

I LIVE on bagels, and these are the best bagels in North America (seriously. They ran a piece on it in the Gazette a while back.)

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Regarding coffee.

My mother insisted that I need to have coffee in Newfoundland, despite the fact that i can't stand the stuff. It's vile.

When I protested, she then pointed out that it was that or allow my friends to drink my hot chocolate. My hot chocolate is sacred. I bring it back from England, because you can't get it over here - Cadbury's low-fat, orange or mint or caramel flavoured, and it is heaven on earth. Nothing comes close. And, while not normally a selfish person at all, NOBODY TOUCHES MY HOT CHOCOLATE OR I SHALL SMITE THEM! MUAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Ahem.

So I shall be purchasing a large quantity of coffee. It shall be the cheap instant sort, but it will do to serve friends, who, if they are real friends, will not protest the nasty sludge I shall attempt to pass off as coffee.

Never mind that it's all nasty sludge anyway, near as I can tell! :p

We have also figured out that despite having the bottom half of THREE rainsuits (ie - green rubber pants from Can Tire), I do not actually have a raincoat. Newfoundland is not known for being a desert island (no matter what Alan Doyle says: 'We're like Canada's version of Hawaii, but warmer. Come in February, and bring your bikinis.'), so a raincoat might be useful :p

It also says to bring semi-formal clothes. This might be a problem, as I honestly am clueless when it comes to clothes. For me, anything that isn't jeans qualifies as 'nice clothes', and then there's the dress I wore to prom, which is 'really really nice clothes'.

I'm thinking a skirt.

I've been looking at my dietary habits when nobody's nagging me to eat 'real meals' (this would be meat, potatoes, and two veg, in the evening. You know, the stuff that takes at least an hour to prepare.), and I think it may be an almost vegetarian diet, because I really hate cooking meat. There will be cheese and eggs for protein, but other than that I'm a bread and vegetables girl. Provided I have access to cucumber, all is well in my world.

Mum just remembered that she brought me back presents from her last trip to England. I have five whole Curly Wurly bars! And I HAVE to eat them in the next four weeks, because I can't take them to Corner Brook with me.

*is in chocolate and caramelly heaven*

Er... to end on topic... Coffee Crisp bars are okay.
