Eee and Haw

[browngirl]

One nice thing about being a foodie is that shopping therapy can be inexpensive. It isn't always -- o, for an electric knife! o, for a big shiny Cuisinart (or even another Mini Chopper)! -- but it can be as cheap as a handful of beautifully fresh vegetables and a stomach full of dumplings, and as priceless as the company of a wonderful friend.



So, I was having a not so good day; a couple of people saw my Emo Post about that day. (The line about people making requests feeling like they were "ripping strips off my flesh" was rather dramatic. *laugh at myself*) Then bercilakslady came by my workplace (bringing delicious fruitcake, which I have had for breakfast), and we went out to dinner at Super 88, then trotted around the store finding awesome things and scary ones ("wife cake" eeeek!). I found among other things, "gourmet" haw flakes, galangal, pressed tofu, and chicken zongzi; BL found these bean-filled snacks she's been looking for, and gave me one.

I was going to put a review of that lovely bean snack here, as I'd planned to eat it this morning on my way to work. Then I got to work, and found Parents' Day in full rollicking swing. Whee-ya. So I have yet to eat it, but I still have it, an edible memento of my night out with BL eating dumplings and cheering up. *grin*

Sorry you hadn't been your cheery self. But glad that friends (and those chinese-sounding snacks) brought you some smile. *hugs*

"wife cake" eeeek!

Did you happen to notice if this was made by the Sweeney Todd Bakery?

*laugh* No, and neither was Mrs. Lovett involved.

You forgot to mention that you gave me some of the Haw flakes. They are quite yummy, and I suspect I might have to get more at some point. You do have this tendency to introduce folks to tasty foodstuffs. Must be a talent. :)

*blush* Thank you, sweetie, and you're welcome. Meanwhile, I accidentally gave away the bean stick, but the kid I gave it to seemed to like it!
