So, I packed 4 large canning jars of lovely limoncello cream in my carry-on bags, wrapped every so carefully, for the soiree. Well, my bags didn't make the plane in Memphis. When they arrived today, ALL THE LIMONCELLO CREAM WAS GONE, and my home-made granola bars, too! So, I called the Transportation authority people and they couldn't explain it because liquids and foods are allowed (they said maybe the liquor was too strong -- they asked me what proof it was -- i don't know, I just bought the pure alcohol at the store) but they couldn't explain the granola bars. So, 6 weeks of soaking lemons in alcohol, about an hour slowly stirring milk right to the boiling point several times, etc., and etc., -- and no limoncello cream for the soiree

. Well, nothing I can do -- the transportation authority people seem to be able to take whatever they want out of your bags if it's food or drink at least. I'll bring some wine and an appetizer to the soiree (but it won't be limoncello cream...
Mango warned me.... (though I have brought it before, but I guess it depends on who is checking the bags and how thirsty and hungry they are?)
I'm so mad! Actually, since I'm at the beach, I'm not that mad because, heck, I'm at the beach...
