Put them together like an Oreo cookie with marshmallow filling on the inside. They are certainly NOT an epicurean delight, but they are mementos of by-gone days in America when people could relax with a hunk of calorie-laden goodness and a cold drink in a bottle that came straight from an old-fashion cola tub filled with ice Half the fun was freezing your hands while you selected the coldest bottle in the tub, and then peeling the wrapper off the Moon Pie and feeling yourself gain weight.

In order to get grits and moon pies, be sure to fly into a Southern airport! Boston or New York or Chicago will put you a thousand miles away from the nearest Moon Pie and grits.

As for Hershey chocolate, I guess I must like doggie drops because Hershey bars with almonds are my favorite. I sampled chocolate all over Europe when I was there years ago, and nothing compared to good old Hershey's. Belgian chocolate came close, and Swiss was okay. I guess it's all in what you grow up with,

OK Laurie:

Do I remember correctly that the conference has grits for breakfast? So we just need to have the Moon Pies on either Friday or Saturday night.
