So…the gravel pit, the one I used to play in when I wasn’t harassing jellyfish, is no longer. It’s now something safer but much more boring, a gravel parking lot. The change is okay, though, because the gravel pit will live on in my memories, just as fun Japanese candies exist in my present.
Choco Baby! Um, baby.
This candy’s colors and cute font caught my eye, prompting me to pick it up at the Japanese supermarket. While starting this Web site, one of the few things that came easiest was the tagline, “Asian Aisle…where the familiar meets the not-so-familiar.” I knew that I wanted to feature both things, in terms of Asian items, and I feel especially delighted when it’s the latter for many of you. And fortunately, another good thing that has come from this blog is that a lot of you dear readers have introduced items to me, as well…
I’ll return to my above tease later in this post, because I’ve actually previously mentioned these type of mangoes. (Manila Mangoes are from Mexico.)
A box of Sweet Tamarind from Thailand. Look, Kitties (and Toms—male cats), I’m going to be straight with you because we’re all friends here: The way to my food-loving heart is to, um, feed me.
Real-life friends and family know this, bless them, and so a member of the former bought me this Li Hing Powder while he was vacationing in Hawaii.
I like to think that this friend (hey, Jesus!) was passing along this message, too. This post will have the predictable, a wonder, and a miracle. Um, in that order.
The predictable: Chicken Pad Thai.
Altoids got nothin’ on you, Kitty Nothin’ on you, Kitty Will I ever stop not-so-secretly loving Hello Kitty things and singing along to catchingly annoying songs on the radio? Let’s hope not for the former. I’d say for the latter, too, but I think passengers in my car would disagree. |
