Differences

Its always in the evening when the flesh is weak.  I can not resist something sweet to eat with my cup of tea, once the hard work is done and the children are in bed, I can relax and have a treat (without having to answer questions about it, or share it, or give it to someone else) and my husband has brought home from Trader Joes some Joe Joes......  oo they are dangerously morish.

They are just like the custard creams we would have had back home, with a lovely sweet creamy sandwich filling.  All totally bad for you.  And Trader Joes has this sort of aura about it, so you feel anything you buy from TJs is healthy.  Of course it isn't (chocolate covered cherries for eg) but its a lovely store to shop in.  It epitomises the America I have become familiar with, very helpful cheery staff (Vs grumpy unhelpful UK versions), fun environment and lovely food.  They make it fun for the kids (acknowledging that parents have to shop with kids they don't just do it for a laugh) by hiding an animal (monkey in one store, frog in another) for the children to find on each visit, they get a small treat if they spot the toy.  Its just a great shop.  If I could just avoid the Joe Joes.......
