Marble Green Tea Pocky

Again, it's a type of moose Pocky that has a thicker layer of chocolate. Since I like green tea, this falls completely within expectation. It's good as well as safe (meaning no screw-ups.). The chocolate strips aren't really doing anything to the taste and probably are for decoration only. The box contains 3 bags and each bag has 4 sticks. A total of just 12 sticks at $2.39, I don't think it's good enough for a second box.

Marble Chocolate Pocky

Also part of the moose lineup. Subtitled "Mild and Bitter". Isn't this an oxymoron? I was curious about how sensitive my taste buds are. Looks like the lighter part is regular milk chocolate while the darker strips are dark chocolate. Hmm... to me, it's just chocolate. As expected, I can't really tell there's anything special. There's no point in mixing the two.

Ruby chocolate bar

Another chocolate bar from Syria. Thanks Utaneko and Sora. (^_^) Pretty standard chocolate coated wafer. Ya know those assorted chocolate covered cookies in a can? There's always one like this. It's a lot lighter and nicer than Taco. By north American standard, this would even be too light. (Don't take me wrong, I'm not complaining.) However, the chocolate is still kinda waxy. Perhaps Syrian chocolate bars are all like that. And... why is this called Ruby???

Crunch time

Deadline in less than 2 weeks. My back is definitely feeling the weather. Today was relatively OK (yeah the sun came out). Yesterday was quite bad. Tomorrow... will probably be bad unless it's sunny, thanks to a lot of bad posture today.

Ate too much

Hmm... ate too much last night. Stomach not feeling well.

Some of these hat boxes are in a museum display in the States. Last photo in stock.

Eat eat eat

Third round for dad's birthday. What was my mom thinking by ordering an 8-people set for 10 people, while 2 are kids? Of course lots of food was left and had to be taken home.

Sun

I think I have serious sunlight deficiency. Today was a great day. Got more energy. Finally opened the rotary tool kit I bought over 6 months ago. Worked on the Pinkys a little. It's definitely faster than doing it by hand. Kind of additive too. Unfortunately I've got computer cables running along the back of my desk and can't clamp the tool stand at it's most logical location. Ended up clamping it at where my right elbow is. Will have to take it down after each use. Extremely inconvenient.
Gardening season started. Took my mom to get some supply. Rona is more expensive than Canadian Tire in general. Home Depot beats Canadian Tire on some stuff.
