If the do sell Turkish Delights in Canada, I have no idea.
Then again, they could sell them at every single corner store I have ever been in, but after the Turkish Delight incident of 1983, I believe I have a mental block that actual cuts off the optic signal indicating “Turkish Delight” from ever reaching my brain.
Thank you, Brain.

Um…so, I was obsessed with The Bachelor all season. I’m not sure why, but I am sure that I’m thankful my flatmate was also obsessed.
By the way — what was with Moana crying for two hours?! I seriously wondered if they were going to start force-feeding her some Prozac.

brando: OMG! It’s official: you truly can find anything you want on the Internet. Robo-Journey is HOT!
egan: I’m not saying he’s not attractive. I’m just saying watch your skull. Sometimes he doesn’t mean to bite, but his gigantic jaw just can’t control itself.

I thought Travis was hot. I guess you and I will have to disagree.

jenny, you are so right about the next robo-bachelor. I found this sneak preview of the next candidate.

sween: it’s okay, but please tell me that they don’t sell them in my beloved Canada.
nina: you say “pohn-chkee,” i say “paht-chkee.” you’re from Poland, i’m from Wisconsin. is either one of us really right?
shari: wha- who- cosmos? where?
jen: i distinctly remember you telling me how much you loved them. “My husband made a special trip to London to get them for me,” she said. [okay fine, so you warned me, as did about 10 other commentators. i don’t know you people – how can you be trusted?]

Um… excuse me? Why did no one tell you how disgusting Turkish Delight would be? Who am I, chopped liver? You were warned, mightily, and you did it anyway. You signed up for every mouthful of snot-textured badness, and you’re not getting any sympathy here, Missy.

Anything with shredded coconut = *bleh*. And if it also includes random green nuts = **BLECH**.
You are not the only adult who had never heard of paczki — I hadn’t either until this year. Still have not tasted one, but somehow I feel worldlier and more cosmopolitan just by knowing they exist.
Oooh, did I just offer myself more cosmopolitans?? I love me!

In defense of paczki (pronounced: pohn-chkee, not anything near tchochke, any gypsy could tell you that), in Warsaw, the coolest bakery sells them filled with rose-petal jelly and glazes them with candied orange peel. DeGaulle loved them so much on his visit to Poland that, upon his return to Paris, he wrote to the bakers and asked for a shipment to his home. True story.

Did I forget to warn you about Turkish Delights?
Oops. Sorry.
They’re HIDEOUS.
