Goldberg Peanut Chews are my favorite candy and the originals were dark chocolate only! Now they make milk chocolate as well and they aren’t as good. The originals are still delicious but alas expensive……. Safe travels

Don’t stress, Patti, you have a lot of travel and time zones ahead of you. Breathe deeply, drink lots of clean water and sleep as much as you need. Travel can knock us all off balance so listen to your body!

Thank you for thinking of us, Patti . . . wishing you safe travels! So many things are not what they used to be and, sadly, I guess that list now includes Peanut Chews. At least it brought back a happy memory of Robert.

Hi Patti,

I remember Peanut Chews! It’s crazy that a candy bar costs 5 dollars. It makes me feel happy that you have come out of your winter doldrums. Travel is the best medicine. Stay safe and see you soon.

Absolutely everything has went up in price and down in quality!

Looking forward to hearing from you from Greece, reading from The Coral Sea, an exquisite poem honoring your great friend, Robert Mapplethorpe. I haven’t read my PS autographed(a friend went to see you, and gave it to me as a gift) copy in a while, so you reading The Passenger M, The Throw, and other poems in The Coral Sea will be a moving experience. Hope you can find a snack that tastes satisfying and is well priced. Since you are going to Greece you may find some quality and tasty walnut cake(Karythopita). What remains is future! Thank you for sharing your amazing voyages with us. Safe travels and happy Pi Day*~~*

It had to be said! And I am such a devotee of the old Peanut Chews that I came here to plant my flag in this comment section about 200 posts deep to thank you, kind lady, for raising awareness. They chews once had a lovely molasses-like flavor and much more nuts than the sad Tom Ripley versions they’re fobbing off on us now.

You make me smile, Patti.

Gosh, good to know about Peanut Chews.

When you get to Lisbon, tell the spirit of Amalia hello for me. She will recognize the fadista in you.

Travel safely.

I just love this! Airports can be so stressful and uninspiring these days, but when you sit and remember what a miracle this “teleportation” is… wow, we’re so fortunate, to be able to jet off into what remains of the future. Thank you for generously sharing your journey with us. Safe travels!
