Japanese Snacks: Pocky

Oh man, I still have a soft spot for Pocky. My favorites so far are the winter chocolate ones, milk, and coconut. Do they still make Chocolate Mousse Pocky? I think they also had grape and cherry blossom flavored ones at some point.

I remember when I visited Japan in high school, stopped at a gas station there and bought a suitcase worth of Pocky to bring back to the states. Now I live near a Mitsuwa so I can get my Pocky fix more easily.

Poll: Panettone, Way or No Way?

I enjoy a little bit of panettone once a year. Unfortunately, my family thinks it's a great idea to send me about three giant loaves of the stuff every Christmas. I can barely eat half a loaf before it goes stale.

That said, I do need to try making panettone french toast this year...

What's the Deal with Marzipan?

I'm definitely a marzipan fan! I've got a pair of marzipan pigs waiting to be devoured for New Year's.

I do remember as a kid wondering why they make marzipan in the shape of fruit when it isn't fruit flavored. It still makes no sense. But I do love the little pigs.

Cook the Book: 'Baked Explorations'

Unfortunately, I haven't had the pleasure of finding a really good bakery (they've all been pretty lackluster so far). Would my mother's kitchen around Christmas count?

Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'

I cook something with olive oil every day. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for buttermilk that I get for a couple odd recipes and never seems to all get used up.
