...and it's not difficult to make out that I am suffering from the pre-stages of candy withdrawal symptoms... X-)

Found more JellyBelly hotspots

• Fest i stan (funny name for a shop, then again it seemed like a fairly odd shop) at Bondegatan 5a, Stockholm.

• "Daglivs Vi" (regular grocery shop) at Fridhemsplan, Stockholm.

• Gray's American Stores, which unfortunately shut shop and moved away from Gamla Stan (Stockholm), so I don't quite know where to find them any more. Their webpage states somewhere by the water quite far outside the city center.

Success!

There is one listed distributor of JellyBellys in Sweden:
Thingamajig AB at Regeringsgatan 88 in Stockholm. Guess where I'm going shopping on the first of January?? :-D

JellyBellys

I just finished the last of the JellyBelly jelly beans we bought in Edinburgh. :-( BOHOOO!
I have been saving them (actually mostly forgot them in the kitchen cupboard, but hey, it worked), and thought I'd have them as company this fine evening (S is downstairs playing Civilization with the boys).

I just can't believe I haven't stumbled on these beans anywhere in Sweden! They must be the best tasting candy in the world! :-D It's almost impossible to pick a favorite, but the one on the picture above is a candidate "lemon lime". Toasted marshmallow and top banana are also quite delicious. The weirdest thing with these beans is that they taste so much. They taste what they're supposed to and claim to taste, like "buttered popcorn" for instance. Real yucky but still, it tastes exactly that! :-D I get a definite "Harry Potter" feeling when eating JellyBellys, thinking of "Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans" except these ones all taste OK... :-D The only thing I have tasted that comes even remotely close to these beans are the Norwegian "seigmen" S introduced, they too have a very rich and pleasant taste.

I must make that my mission, to find a reseller of JellyBellys in Sweden, preferably in Stockholm. :-)

...and this idea rhymes SO badly with the fact that S and I agreed we'd have no more candy before Christmas! X-)

Oldest blogger? :-)

How cool isn't this blog? :-)


A mis 95 años / 95 years old blogger
(http://amis95.blogspot.com/)

Unfortunately my Spanish isn't good enough to read the Spanish bits (which would include the blog in its entirety, heh). But the whole phenomena of a lady of that generation getting online and starting to blog is just fantastic.

I once exchanged letters with my nan for a short while, I imagine this must be something as cool as that. To get to know the person behind the "grandmother". :-)

Nice description http://www.boingboing.net/2005/10/17/lotrworld-of-warcraf.html

Incredibly funny if you're that way inclined...

Screenshots from the new patch

The patch is due next Wednesday. I can't help it, but I really like the art of Warcraft. It's childish, but oh so fantasy-fantastic. It attracts the fairy tale side of my imagination, like a really well drawn cartoon. :-)
