Beautiful place, I love it. Mac n cheese - unfortunatley, the boys don't lie it....however, bizarrely I have discoverd that they love teriyaki chicken and rice, which you seem to be able to get in any mall around here. Never would have predicted that.<br /><br />Susanna - must have seemed like home from home.

I was in a...Glad to hear you are settling in well.<br /><br />I was in a petrol station in Cambridge (as in the university) the other day and the shelves were filled with mac and cheese, maple syrup, Oreo cookies, Dunkin Hines cake mixes and cracker jacks. It was really strange. I started pulling things off the shelves (without realising mac and cheese was £2.99 a box!) and had quite a bill. My daughters don't even like mac and cheese (why is it orange mummy?!)A Modern Motherhttp://www.amodernmother.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-55102739642069149512009-06-10T23:54:58.871-04:002009-06-10T23:54:58.871-04:00Were you in the Shenandoah Valley?

Husband once tried to run off and leave me to be eaten by a bear in the woods there.

Last night I was convinced I had one - it turned out to be a mole.....<br /><br />NB - well, we're already driving a Dodge with tinted windows....<br /><br />Mom/Mum - thank you, and any time you fancy a shopping trip to Manhattan, my door is is open.<br /><br />Nicola - agreed, the parking is brilliant - haven't had to parallel park once. And despite the shocking environmental attitude, am shamefully quite enjoying being able to park everywhere after London...<br /><br />Expat Mum - that's a really good idea. I'm going to take you up on it - thanks. Yup, I found Weetabix in Brooklyn and I believe there is a Whole Foods where you can get it fairly near our new house. Doesn't seem to be stocked in the local supermarket, though.nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-39157155691318602832009-06-10T10:24:17.238-04:002009-06-10T10:24:17.238-04:00Don't worry, Weetabix are widely available her...Don't worry, Weetabix are widely available here now.<br />Oh and BTW, the word "homogenous" officially becomes "homogeneous" (sounds like Homo-genius).<br />Blog fodder - I think you ought to post a "Question of the week" for us to come running to the rescue about (grammar?).Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-17013103620473504922009-06-09T12:45:35.070-04:002009-06-09T12:45:35.070-04:00Good luck with the move!

I remember my first few weeks and months in America...and admit that I still find the Interstates (or any highway with lane upon lane upon lane) terrifying, the wide and angled parking spaces a breeze and the instant delivery of iced water anywhere you choose to eat totally brilliant. I fell in love with Brunch and even have developed a taste for pancakes with maple syrup AND bacon and sausage. Thought it was so weird to begin with but now am quite addicted to that sweet/savoury combination. So many things to discover - you're going to have so much fun.Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07017352687163694581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-68938624055471212102009-06-08T22:20:21.833-04:002009-06-08T22:20:21.833-04:00WAHEY!!! she's here! congraulations and alread...WAHEY!!! she's here! congraulations and already am entralld by your adventure over here so far.
