Have you tried Magnum?

I recently have been preoccupied with indulging in the new Magnum ice-cream bars. A-m-a-z-i--n-g is pretty much all I can say. You've gotta try them if you haven't already. (Trust me on this :)

Glögg: Christmas in Springtime

Glögg: mulled wine

Glögg is the term for mulled wine in the Nordic countries. It's basically a non-alcoholic fruit and spiced wine flavored drink. A little while ago, I purchased this one from Ikea and even forgot I had it until today - it's produced by Herrljunga Cider. Traditionally it's served warm and can be diluted with water, wine or something like vodka. You can also serve it with raisins and almonds although I'm yet to try this style. It may be the cinnamon and cardamom in the drink but it really does taste like Christmas in my mouth!

 

A little skinny

I came across another cute little dessert. This one is a little one by Nestle, part of a line called Skinny Cow. The one I tried is the Chocolate Fudge Brownie. It’s not ice-cream, a frozen dessert is what they call it. It didn’t taste as cute as it looked to me but I guess if you’re counting calories then it’s good. Since I love my desserts rich and wholesome, I’ll stick to a creamier version ;)

General Tao’s Spicy Chicken

I tried Healthy Choice Gourmet Steamers General Tao’s Spicy Chicken and absolutely loved it. My mother initially tried these meals a few weeks ago and sort of hinted that I try them. So today when I was at my local Sobeys I found them there and picked up a couple.

Fast, healthy + delicious! I definitely recommend!

I ♥ Häagen-Daz!

My little strawberry Häagen-Daz is shorter than my little salt shaker. I never knew that they make them this small! One little serving, plus it comes with a little spoon. Delish!

I ♥ Häagen-Daz! What’s your flavor?

Asian Finds

Woke up in bliss this morning.


Last night was a relaxed night in with lots of food from Friendly Thai. Steamed Coconut Rice ($2.99), Gai Yang - which is marinated grilled chiken ($10.99), Gai Pad Krapao -basil chicken ($10.99). Delish!

In the afternoon I took a streetcar ride to Chinatown! I love strolling around in that neighborhood. Picked up a few things from there- my fav items being these satin cushion covers!

Read the Tassimo Manual

My lovely mother got me one of those über fancy Tassimo Brewers for Christmas. I love it!

I finally got around to reading the manual, did the "before you use" procedures (which turned out to be quite a lengthy read and process).

I then brewed my first cup of cocoa (how appropriate eh?)!
