They were featured recently on Food TV Networks Food Finds. Looked good.

My current obsession are Yoplait Whips (currently eating some Strawberry Banana Bliss). They're amazing tasting--not yougurty at all.

This Japanese omelette-pancaky thing called 'okonomiyaki'. It's basically just a delicious omelette with whatever you want in it. My favourite has potato and cheese. Fantastic!



You can cook it at your table or have the staff make it. Probably looks terrible in the picture, but its a national favourite, and cheap! Ever seen it in the US? I've never seen it in Australia, but maybe California has some okonomiyaki restaurants.

I have an addiction to crab rangoon and stuffed artichokes. (Not together though) I seriously could eat either one of them right now.

Iced Lattes from Starbucks are my downfall! I get a Venti Iced White Mocha with an extra shot of espresso, skim milk, and no whip. I am crazy for this drink- I drink several of them a week. Right now I am trying to diet so I haven't had one for a long time (five days!) I am fighting the urge to run down the block to Starbucks and get one. It is so hard dieting!

Which one am I not addicted to, is really the question...
Chips and salsa (the chips from a mexi restaurant) are the worst. Also I like to get my salsa from the mexi restaurant, too, but substitue salsa will occasionally be tolerated.
Cheetos are a bad one, too.
Any other chips
Mexican food - I've been eating burritos and chips and salsa since this Fri, interspersed with a few other things.
starwhite mints
atomic fireballs.

I just read about this in a book called "Untangling my Chopsticks: A Culinary Journey Through Kyoto" (or something like that...I'm too lazy to get the book). She's a food writer so she gives you the recepies at the end of each chapter, so I'm planning to try it!

And since I've been doing the Japanese thing my addictions of the moment are homemade miso soup and a panfried chicken dish where you marinate chicken strips in honey, shoyu (a type of soy sauce), oil, scallions, and sesame seeds for 20 minutes, pan fry it, and serve over rice. YUM!

For dark chocolate try Ghirardelli double chocolate chips, they are just heaven. This week the Dove Promises were on sale 2 for $5 at Stop and Shop, score!

I love cheese too. Ice cream, mmmm.

Extremely dark chocolate, those Swiss bars, what is it, 80%?

And curries. That's my comfortfood: a good curry. Love to make indian curry, but simple dutch "kip met kerrie" is what I have when I really need some comfort

Addictions:
- cheese! Any kind really, I love blue cheese just as much as dutch cheese.
- salt liqorice. (sp?!)
- herring in mustard sauce.. I ate so much of it one time it I got sick, and now I can't really eat it anymore. Shame.

Wow I didn't even know that was Japanese. My dad used to make that a lot - my favourite dish of his!

Mmm...miso. Salty goodness.
