Ah...well, keep me posted. I totally understand about crashing on people's floors and what that does to your guest-having ability. Also, good luck with the place-finding.

Wine gums are not actually gum, nor do they have any wine in them. They are somewhat hard fruit-flavored gummy candies that are more bitter and less overpoweringly sweet than any other candies I've had. I suppose the taste is kind of like wine, but I'm not really a wine person so I don't really know. I used to buy them from a British import store as a special treat when I was little. I didn't have them again after that store went out of business until I went to Canada in December and saw them in a convenience store. Unlike so many things from childhood (like coffee, the smurfs, and having squirt gun fights), these were still as good as I remembered them being. If I still have any of my current stash left when I next see you, I'll bring some.
