Contraband

Take that, HM Revenue & Customs.

Alrighty, we're no latter-day Harriet Tubmans and this ain't the Underground Railroad. But nonetheless we have recently struck a blow for freedom, surreptitiously circumventing the despotic arm of British customs, who has now twice blocked well-intended shipments of Kraft Mac & Cheese from the US (thanks and thanks to those who tried) to our deserving children. We're now in full-tilt visitor season in London and both the Bleichs and Browns have been generous - and courageous! - enough to transport, respectively, KM&C and Cheerios across international airspace and through the Heathrow juggernaut. Indeed, notice the delivery of the latter sans prominent yellow box. (Well played, Lorne and Melanie.) Maria Full of Grace has nothing on these trans-Atlantic mules.

To those so dedicated to our kids having nothing but the best processed cheese food and to saving me well over $5, we salute you.
