Semi-Homemade Salsa
Corn, green peppers, and black beans in salsa make me happy. Easy adjustment. Look--I'm following Sandra Lee's advice by going semi-homemade. Except I didn't make a cocktail at the end.

Chocolate Crush [almond] Pocky Sticks
I can't believe I haven't done a post on regular Pocky sticks. Well, this link will have to do for now: See pictures here. They have funny/weird Pocky commercials here too.
These almond-covered sticks are good! I still like the original best, and I probably always will, although the green tea , pumpkin, and "Men's Chocolate"/dark chocolate (lol) ones made me very happy.
My co-workers really like the original Pocky sticks and have asked where to get them. You can get them at Japanese or Asian grocery stores (R-N Market...Central Fish Co., Mitsuwa, etc.) UC Berkeley's on-campus food places (haha! Shows how many Asians there are). I got these almond ones at Central Fish, a favorite for local Japanese-Americans (well, Asians in general...and there's a lot of Mexican foods there too. Regular Pocky sticks are usually around $1.99, but I've seen them for more and, occasionally, on sale for cheaper. They don't always have cool flavors, by the way. Big places like Mitsuwa do though!

Julie's Imagawayaki
I can never remember the name of these things. It's like... Imananji desuka Wakabayashi. lol That last word is a real last name, and these things always remind me of it.
Anyway, Julie has an imagawayaki maker now, so she gave us some an-filled ones and some filled with some kind of shrimp paste. It was cool how there were sweet and savory ones.
