If Bosnia were home.

I enjoyed a visit with my friend who lives in Bosnia. We went to Walmart for last minute treats to take back home. She is very sad that she can no longer take her genuine Dublin Dr. Pepper on the plane with her. She said it was a good thing she wasn't flying on the day they made everyone dump their liquids. They wouldn't have been able to pry her D.P. out of her hands and would have had to take her to jail. Not the best reference for a missionary.

Interesting thought: what would I take to Bosnia if I had a fifty pound weight limit. She took mint chocolate chips, canned biscuits, powdered Gatorade, cornbread mix and frozen cookie dough. Also Community brand coffee for some Louisiana ex-pats. On some trips she has taken Pace picante sauce, and a tortilla iron(a true act of love since it weighs about 8lbs. all by itself). I'm not sure what I would take but I have a feeling chocolate would top the list. I know people love the chocolate of other countries, but I dance with the one who brung me. Hershey's milk chocolate is the flavor of my youthful Trick or Treating. Also the once-a-year-impulse-purchase of a fourth of a pound of chocolate stars at the Montgomery Ward candy counter. Of course, Nestle when it has to be Crunch. And keep your traitorous raisins away from my chocolate, and my cookies while we're at it.
