Having been away for quite a while now (130 days) we have come to miss quite a few things. These things can mostly be found at Sainsburys in Burpham and Godalming, but of course we also miss you and the rest of our families, not forgetting our lovely doggies (and snake). Anyway, it is a given that on our return sometime in the middle of September we will be re-united with family and dogs, but we thought it necessary to make arrangements for the other things as they cant organise themselves so easily.

So, you will find below a list of the things (with brands where relevent) we would be delighted to see in the kitchen cupboards at home on our return:

Heinz Baked Beans
Sainsbury's Bakery Yum Yums
Sainsbury's Bakery Jam Doughnuts
Fox's Jam Creams
Sainsbury's Bakery Caramel Squares
Sainsbury's Bakery Cookies (milk chocolate)
Crumpets (preferably Warburtons, but others acceptble)
Golden Syrup
Peanut Butter
English Breakfast Tea
Milk
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc
Pimms
Strawberries
Kelloggs Coco Pops
Kelloggs Frosties
Sainsbury's Bakery Tiger Bread
Ingredients for the making of Victoria Sponge inc. Bonne Maman Strawberry Jam
Syrup Sponge Puddings
Custard

We figured the best way to showcase these fine products would be in a "WELCOME HOME ED AND LARA!" traditional English tea-party. This can be arranged possibly for the weekend following our return (17th/18th September) or then abouts. All attendees will be required to present a paragraph on what they missed most about us. This will be followed by a quiz about our travels (example question: What is the name of the Caiman we met on the Yacuma River?). So long as you have followed the blog rigorously you are sure to achieve 100%. NO EXCUSES. The person receiving the lowest percentage will be responsible for washing and clearing up after the party.

In addition to these ingredients, to help with your shopping lists we have a few meal suggestions to help you plan the week:

Toad in the hole and beans
Sausage, mash and beans
Fish Pie
Special BBQ chicken, potatoes and beans (n.b. requires chicken thighs and drumsticks, Heinz tomato sauce, BBQ smokey sauce, Reggae Reggae sauce and Season All Spice)
Good old English fried breakfast
Cheese and baked bean toasties
Lemon Meringue Pie

Of course, this is all just to provide you with ideas and inspiration for our return. The food selection here, aside from in Argentina, has been pretty disappointing with the most reliable dish- guaranteed not to result in food poisoning- being Pizza. More than all of the above we look forward to seeing everyone in a mere 54 days time. We hope you enjoy the rest of the English summer and think of us relaxing on the beach in the Carribbean!!!!!

We love you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
