The weather dude says that the winds were caused by "bomb cyclones"?! WT?! Anyway, at least the plants are okay...
Today's post is on some things I'm liking at the moment...Baru's Chocolate chai latte & figurines...the tiny figurines are chocolate (alphabet letters, cupcakes, just to name a few)...just add some of this mix to some hot milk.
It is a bit on the sweet side if you follow the directions, so I usually add in some coffee, which makes it just right.
Both are delicious, but my favorite is the cranberry one.
You can eat it with cheese, meats or dips, but we like them just "as is".
These are boiled in some shoyu, the flavor is quite light.
Best part, they are already peeled!
Had to try it with Vietnamese coffee...yummy!
What are you enjoying these days?
It's Friday here, hope you have a great weekend!
Mmm I love raincoast crisps!! And the chai latte with chocolate figurines look so cute ^_^
ReplyDeleteBomb cyclone? That really sounds dangerous.....
ReplyDeleteMmm, speculoos!!
ReplyDeleteooo...all those items look interesting! I'm intrigued by the chocolate condensed milk.
ReplyDeleteI bought both from Dean & Deluca Japan, Kathy, maybe you can find the chai latte at your D&D in NYC :)
ReplyDeleteapparently the US coined that term, Kirk, was pretty scary, lots of people with broken windows and stuff.
mmm indeed, K :)
I hope someone will come up with it in the US for you Genki :)
Take care everyone!

So the figurines are chocolate that you randomly find mixed in the chai latte mix? Love it.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your plants weren't affected by the bomb cyclones!
yes Myra, the figurines are chocolate :) I'm glad my plants didn't get blown away too!
ReplyDeleteTake care.

ReplyDeleteYes it is Friday and I am just grateful that my internet is functioning (the other day they really messed up BIG and MotH's workplace had none for atleast an hour!).

Hi Kat,
ReplyDeleteI'm in Osaka and Kyoto for another few days on my Japan trip, could you let me know where dean & deluca is? I want to check it out.
Is it usually this cold in autumn??

Hi Sarah, there is one in Daimaru Kobe, but I think it may be really small. The D&D I ordered from is in Tokyo.
ReplyDeleteTake care.

Waaaaaait a second. You're saying that speculoos biscuits come with CHOCOLATE too? I have never seen these. I feel like my whole life has been a lie.
ReplyDeleteI love chai. So so much. It would be amazing with chocolate too.
yup there is a chocolate version, Mariko :) hope you can find it where you are, if not, just dip the ones you have in some chocolate!
ReplyDeleteTake care.
