Candy

I went to Sainsbury's today to stock up on some snacks. Most of the things I got are uninspiring, but their candy selection is worth its own blog. I bought something called Planets, by Mars Co., which is a mixed bag of "milk chocolate with assorted centres," being two kinds of malt filling, I think, and a caramel-filled one. Delicious. They also have dark chocolate Kit-Kat bars (my mom would love these), and a long list of other things I haven't tried yet.
If you're nice to me, maybe I'll send or bring some candy back to the States. Also, on a related note, feel free to email my regular address (lostdog) with comments, questions, or stories of your own, instead of feeling held back by the requirement to register on blogger in order to leave comments. I don't check the address listed for this blog (I made a gmail account in order to have this).
I also bought a St. Catz hat today, to keep my head toasty on these frigid nights and mornings. So don't anybody send me hats.

I'd imagine gratuitous amounts of sugar, based on the stereotypes....

I myself don't really have a "sweet tooth." In fact, if anything, I have a bitter tooth. I eat dark chocolate--and I don't mean everyday dark. Have you ever had a Dagoba chocolate bar? 89% Cocoa, Ninja. It's invigorating. Usually, though, I just have ~72% bars with possible nuts, coffee beans, and dried fruit in there.
