We picked up a jar of ginger spread at the store the other day. It's excellent, with just the perfect balance of ginger and sugar (and nothing else).
I found a bag of Chimes Orange Ginger Chews at the grocery store checkout stand today. I decided to try them. Yum!

Some white chocolate is just sweet nothing. That's what a lot of people think when they hear "white chocolate". It's not chocolate, they say. It's just cocoa butter and sugar. But...
The other night at Chili's restaurant, Rich and I were served a garnish of sweet pickled jalapeno peppers with our hamburger. Yum!
A medium-bodied blend of Keemun and Ceylon black teas with full flavour.

It's not Haagen Dazs or Dove, but it's good. And a perfect size. Eskimo Pie Vanilla with Dark Chocolatey Coating. Ice Cream on a Stick.
From Canada Dry - Green Tea Ginger Ale. Tasty!
(Note: this is not a "diet" drink. It's Ginger Ale, after all.)
We find the weirdest things at the Asian grocery stores. This one is from Japan - carbonated "melon cream soda". Tastes of pineapple and banana with a lot of fizz.
I recently found Acerola juice in our grocery store. The Acerola (Barbados Cherry) grows in Brazil. It has 10x the vitamin C of oranges. The bottled juice tastes a bit like peach juice, lightened with apple. Not sour. Not too sweet. Pleasant.
Greenlee's Bakery, in San Jose CA makes the Best Cinnamon Bread (an opinion shared by many people). And, I've learned that Greenlee's Cinnamon bread is available by mail order! Yumm.
Have you tried "Nature Valley roasted nut crunch" bars? Available in peanut or almond. Mostly of nuts. Nibble carefully; they crumble. Yummmmmm.
These taste too yummy to be good for you. Still, with 150 cal, 9g fiber, 3 g protein, and only 9 g sugar, they can't be all bad either, can they?
