Saw this at Sprouts (fancy grocery store)

Saw this shirt at Academy Sports the other day:

They also had a similar design featuring a yellow or tan Bus. I grew up thinking a good price for a t-shirt is about $15 so even though I have a couple Nike shirts and they are all a higher quality than run of the mill t-shirts, it is still hard to swallow a $35 price tag!

The only thing for which I use marshmellows, is as part of the recipe for "Australia Fruit Cake"; a refrigerator cake which does NOT require any cooking or baking.

Although I like marzipan, I am averse to icing-sugar, which is typically applied to Christmas cakes and birthday cakes, my mother used to make an "Australia Fruit Cake" for my birthdays when I was young, which I later started doing for myself a few decades ago.

Other ingredients include digestive-biscuit crumbs, various ground nuts, various chopped dried fruits, chopped glace cherries, cinnamon, evaporated-milk and orange juice. Over the years, I have varied the recipe with regard to the types of nuts, dried fruits and juice, dependent upon availability and cost.

Some ingredients such as walnuts and hazelnuts grow in the garden, which I try to harvest before the pesky immigrant American grey squirrels steal them all! Several years ago, I read that there was a specialist supplier of Grey squirrel meat in the UK, but it's rather expensive! I think I would probably prefer the meat of the pesky immigrant American rabbit, from which my mother used to make some quite tasty stew.

British & European red squirrels are so much cuter! 8)

Instead of chopping up the marshmellows with kitchen scissors and crushing the digestive biscuits with a rolling pin, I use an old-fashioned, circa 1950s vintage, hand-cranked mincer, to reduce everything to a small size, suitable for blending; starting with the gooiest dry ingredients first and culminating with the digestive biscuits. The hardest part, is blending it all together in the mixing bowl with a wooden spoon.

have not read the whole thread so maybe this has already has been said, and if so sorry for the echo. It well may be, as this thread shows, that VW bus owners have a lot of entrepreneurial spirit.
