The next article in my Dim Sum series will be posted on Thursday or Friday, so that you'll be all set for dim sum this weekend.)
Short post since it was a long day and I'm very very tired. I'll make it up to you all tomorrow night, I promise. Until then, check out this snack that my receptionist, Crazy Girl (formerly Crazy Pregnant Girl), was munching on at work.
No, it's not a joke. Yes, it's a real snack. Can anyone guess why her husband asked her to hide it from me whenever I wandered by her desk? =D
An ass whuppin' would be in the works, except this snack was made by Want Want Foods Ltd., a Taiwanese company based in mainland China partnered with a Japanese company. That's right. It was my people that done made this unfortunately named snack. Isn't engrish grand?
As Cat said, it's "tri-national linguistic incompetence." She has such a way with words.
At least they're not too bad for you. A box will only run you about 168 calories.
Mmmmm... Tastes like chocolaty insensitivity... Someone get John McCain a box.

Hi Chubbypanda: Can I comment? from an amateur? I like the first one -- it is pretty sharp. The best accessory you can buy is to get yourself a nice sturdy tripod. I think you will like the results for such shots. The 2nd and 3rd should be shot a bit closer so people can read the labels (that's your intention right?). For the last one, try different angles and composition (was that Cat's fingernails? Nice! :-)). BTW, if you max the size of the pix to fill right up to the margins, I think they will look much better on the blog. My two cents ...

Of course it's not bad for you...it's a good cookie called gookie!!!
Maybe I can try look out for this gookie in a Jap/Korean supermarket then show my chipmuck ability to store it safely...*lol*
I've tried Honkie before - but never this ;)
168 calories in a box or a serving? Seems low for a formerly pregnant woman to be eating.
du du cha.
lol "gookie"! honestly the name kind of makes me want to try it.
Ben,
Thanks for the advice. I'm going to follow all of it. I really appreciate the constructive comments you gave.
The fingernails are my receptionist, Crazy Girl's.
Tigerfish,
It tasted pretty good...
Doug,
She's trying to get back in shape. =)
Susan,
Sorta a guilty amusement, isn't it. I felt the same way.

Those racist Asians! Well, at least you never drank "CALPIS" like how I used to. Hmm, I wonder why they wanted to name a drink "piss." Thankfully, they renamed that stuff "Calpico."
PE,
I loves me the melon flavored Calpis. It's nummy in my tummy.
