The Hood for The Little Bear Has Arrived!

When I opened the envelope I couldn't help smiling looking at the cuteness of it, small hood for tiny little bear =).

Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

"I don’t want to be married just for the sake of being married. I can’t think of anything lonelier than spending the rest of my life with someone I can’t talk to, or worse, someone I can’t be silent with" (7).

"Come to that, how does he know where Susan and I are staying? What trains we are taking? All his flowers have been awaiting me on my arrival. I don’t know whether to feel flattered or hunted" (13).

"Love aside, Mark is a terrible strain on my wardrobe" (76).

"…he sounds a very fine man – but bossy. It’s a failing common in men" (111).

Mochi with Chestnuts Filling and Chocolate Topping

I was not careful when I bought this (Refer to http://theunwrittendeed.blogspot.com/2009/08/tcc-prices-are-subjected-to-government.html). I thought it was mochi with chocolate filling and was surprised when I opened the packet. The mochi was yellowish and there was a pack of chocolate powder to sprinkle on top of the mochi. It was nice though, both with and without the chocolate topping. I personally prefer it unsprinkled, since the chocolate taste tends to mask the flavor of the chestnut filling.

I'm Loving...

Candace Bushnell, One Fifth Avenue

"Men are the hunters and women are the gatherers. Shopping is a form of gathering" (33).

"You don’t have to take everything I say at face value. Sometimes I say things just to hear how they sound" (100).

"Jealousy, envy, ego – those are the things success is made of" (128).

"It was one thing to lavishly spend someone else’s money but quite another to shell out your own" (393).

Jhumpa Lahiri, The Namesake

"Somehow, bad news, however ridden with static, however filled with echoes, always manages to be conveyed" (63).

"They were things for which it was impossible to prepare but which one spent a lifetime looking back at, trying to accept, interpret, comprehend. Things that should never have happened, that seemed out of place and wrong, these were what prevailed, what endured, in the end" (287).

Market Place at ION

Summeryberry Cake and Hazelnut Royaltine Cake (2 for $3.90, as shown in the picture below). Surprisingly sumptuous; considering the price one might be tempted to think they are of mediocre type. But this is another proof that price doesn't mean quality. I will definitely go back to have them again.

ChocoNana Parfait ($10. Contrary to Orange Flamingo that I previously tried (see http://theunwrittendeed.blogspot.com/2009/07/all-in-one-days-time.html), this one is seriously disappointing. The banana was bland, the cream so-so, and the chocolate sauce too sweet. The chocolate parfait (hidden in the middle) was good though, saving this dessert from being totally disastrous.
