Turkey Hill Ice Cream - Black Raspberry

M-m-m-m-good!! What more can I say?! It is so creamy and soft and very, very tasty!!! I absolutely love it :-)

Turkey Sandwich

We had sandwiches for dinner. I really love sandwiches!!! Doesn't it just look so tasty? Well, it was... Now it's in my tummy and you can't have any.

Milky Way

Creamy nougat, gooey caramel... The only thing that could make this better would be to have a Milky Way Midnight. I am enjoying this tasty candy bar while Andrew is working on his project with his group. Shhh, don't tell him...

Garlic

Garlic, food of the gods!! Need I say more?

Morinaga Pancake Mix*

This morning we made some tasty pancakes from a mix that we picked up at Mitsuwa last weekend. The brand is Morinaga and they were totally tasty, fluffy yet firm. And, I ask you, in what other country besides Japan would all the ingredients have happy faces? Ok, maybe Korea but these are definitely Japanese...

Birthday Cake*

Today is my birthday. Everyone conspired to make it a great b-day!!! I was very happy!! I had sushi lunch, the tasty cake (pictured above), presents, Outback Steakhouse dinner and a new cubicle. The only thing that would have made it better was no project to work on...

Rich Chocolate Ovaltine*

Andrew and I purchased some rich chocolate Ovaltine at the Acme today. This is my first Ovaltine experience and I have to say it was pretty tasty. In fact, it was rich and chocolaty... Scrumptious!!

Andes Mint*

I really love chocolate; can you tell? This is picture of an Andes mint that I ate tonight. I really love these cookie bars that my aunt makes from Andes mints. They are so good and even tastier than the mints themselves.

Strawberry Chocolate*

As usual, a photograph of some tasty Japanese chocolate. This time it is strawberry chocolate from Meiji. This is some of my favorite from Japan, right behind Meltyblend and Black... I really like the way that the reflection from the chocolates made the plate pinkish.

Ramune*

Yes, you have previously seen a similar photo on my blog. This is ramune, the Japanese soda with the marble that I wrote about before. This time it is the original flavor that I like that to describe as similar to bubble gum flavored penicillin. Sounds tasty, no? I bought a six pack when we were at Mitsuwa this past Saturday.

Andrew's Tasty Dinner*

This is the very wonderful meal that Andrew made for dinner tonight. We bought some cheap tilapia at the local Korean market. Andrew made it very tasty with some lemon, herbs and enoki mushrooms!! He also made this salad that he found the recipe for in one of his cooking magazines. It was so, so tasty!! It was endive, cauliflower, white beans and feta cheese in this really good lemon dressing. This is one of my favorite salads. Just fantastic.

Shio Ramen*

Andrew, his parents and I went on an odyssey to Mitsuwa, a huge Japanese market in Edgewater, New Jersey. After a slight detour to NYC, we made it to Mitsuwa and had some lunch. This is a photo of the tasty, tasty, tasty shio ramen (salt ramen) that I had for lunch. That thing at the bottom of the photo is fish cake; I like them but Andrew hates them... So, the players are, going from the fish cake around the left: pork, bamboo shoots and mushrooms. In the middle are scallions and a sour cherry. My lunch was so, so good. I wish we had a ramen shop around our house... That would be the best...

Orange Slice*

This juicy orange isn't for me unfortunately :-( It is for the piggies!! :-)

Chocolaty Milk*

Chocolaty milk is the bestest. This is a photo of the Hershey's chocolate syrup that has settled at the bottom of the glass before I had a chance to stir it up. Some would say this is a lot of chocolate for the tiny glass of milk I'm having; Andrew would say it is definitely not enough!! His glass would be half chocolate syrup and half milk if I let him...

Hokkaido Cream

This is a new little snack that I found during our shopping trip to the local Korean market. It's from Meiji, the same folks that make Meltyblend. It has a little chocolate cookie on the bottom that is topped with a cream (hence the name...). The entire thing is covered in a semi-hard chocolate shell that is dusted with cocoa powder. It is quite tasty but the cream, as is most often the case in Japan, is not as sweet as it would be in a Western snack. Overall, I would give it an 8 out of 10. :-)

Curry - Japanese Style

This is some tasty Japanese style curry that I made on Sunday night. This is a photo of some of that curry that I had for lunch today. Andrew and I have taken it to work for lunch yesterday and today. I like this curry because it is a little spicy and this time I made it with chicken thighs which turned out very tender and juicy. Yummy!!! :-)

Bribery

This is a photo of some of the salad mix that we use to bribe Bran and Wyn when we are having lap time. They really love the stuff!! They happily munch away while we pet and scratch them...

Guinea Pig Salad

This is the mini salad that my guinea pigs are going to have tonight. Doesn't it just look delicious?! It has romaine lettuce, carrots, carrot tops, parsley, green peppers, tomatoes and grapes. I hope they enjoy it...

Cake

This is some very yummy cake that Andrew made for Heather's party. It is a banana chocolate chip bundt cake. So, so tasty. He used his castle bundt pan but two of the four turrets didn't make it out of the pan all the way so the castle looked like it had been under siege...

*This is my post from Saturday, February 10, 2007. This post is late. Andrew and I went to Heather's fabulous game party last night and had so much fun that we didn't get back until about 1 in the morning. I was too tired to post after tending to and spending some time with the piggies...

Toblerone

I really love Toblerone!! This is the dark chocolate variety, the best kind. I bought it for Andrew's stocking but I think that I have eaten most of it... Oops...

Wonton Soup

I got some wonton soup from one of the Chinese trucks at lunch. It was quite tasty. It also made for some cool photos.

Water

I forgot that I had to take a picture of some food until after I was done eating for the day. So, what better to take a picture of than water? I have it all the time but I never think of it as a food. We all need it, though...

Raspberry Chocolates

So, continuing in the vein of the Meltyblend photo, this is a photo of a raspberry chocolate. Andrew and I bought these at the Naked Chocolate Cafe in Philly that I told you about in my earlier 'Drinking Chocolate' post. They are very tasty and they have nifty little liquid centers. It's too bad there isn't more liquid inside; if there was, it would ooze out and make my photos even cooler!! :-)

Fried Rice

Fried rice!! Yummy!! Andrew made some very tasty fried rice tonight. It was so, so, so tasty!! Doesn't it look tasty?!

Gin and Tonic

Andrew's parents invited us over for an impromptu Super Bowl party. It was fun!! More importantly, there was lots of food!!! I took this picture of the gin and tonic that Andrew's dad made for me. It was very tasty and I love the glass. I took this picture with the 'color accent' feature on my Canon. This feature highlights a color that you chose and makes everything else black and white. In this one I chose to accent the green of the lime rind. Kinda cool looking, huh?!

*This is my post from Sunday, February 4, 2007. This post is late. The impromptu Super Bowl party was just too much fun to post during and it was time to go to sleep when I got home.

Drinking Chocolate

Today, Andrew, his family and I went into Philadelphia for Andrew and his dad to get fitted for tuxes. After the fitting and little bit of shopping at one of my favorite stores, Ten Thousand Villages, we went to this great new place called the Naked Chocolate Cafe. It was so wonderful. They have many different kinds of chocolates and pastries that were very chocolaty and tasty. I had a chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing. It was very good. The best part, though, was the drinking chocolate that they have, called tasting chocolate. It comes in four varieties. The one I got was called 'Spicy'. It had several spices including cumin and a little bit of kick, probably from cayenne. It was so thick that it was like eating some melted chocolate!! You have to eat it with the tiny spoon that they give you because it is almost impossible to actually drink it. So, so, so good!!!! Next time that we go, I want to try some of their chocolate candies and the 'Aztec' tasting chocolate...

Meltyblend - Strawberry variety

I'm so happy that Adina got her Meltyblend so that I can post a picture of one of my favorite Japanese candies without giving away the surprise!!! Only available during the winter months, Meltyblend are basically little square truffles. They are typically really hard to come by here in America. It just so happens that our local Korean market had some this year. When I found them, Andrew and I were so excited!! We bought quite a few boxes... hehe... This is a picture of the strawberry variety of Meltyblend. While tasty, I still think that cacao variety is my favorite. The strawberry ones look cooler in photos, though. :-)

Cherry Coke

I have been staying at the office on the nights that Andrew has class so that I can get some of my own schoolwork done in an environment that has fewer distractions than home. Before Andrew goes to class, we have dinner together. Tonight we had some Chinese food from one of the lunch trucks outside. It was, of course, way to greasy for my stomach's liking. Anyway, I got to have some tasty Cherry Coke!! I really needed the caffeine...
