Mushroom Pate

Mushroom Pate, originally uploaded by TWiNKiE CHAN.

Soooo, tonight we are making our own wontons, but my snacky-organz got antsy while Hairy was at the store, so I busted out some of our booty from a trip to Cost Plus:

MUSHROOM PATE'.

I have never had this before. It was a fungus-fueled adventure.

I left the sound as-is (no editing or music) because some of the crunchy noises are fun in the end. Plus you can hear me watching Nat'l Geographic in the background!

(I'm a little sad that Photobucket is warping my preview image on videos. Oh well! Sorry for the Zoolander mouth!)

Ultimately, it tastes and smells like slightly-more-seasoned Cream of Mushroom Soup. Not bad. Not great!

Hot Chocolate and Seaweed

Sometimes you just need salty and sweet at the same time....and sometimes you need to IMPROVISE!!!!

Check out a mouthful of Carnation hot cocoa and SEAWEED!!!!!! Cruncha muncha!

N.B.: Korean snacking seaweed has really great, toasty flavor, and is light and delicate (but a little oily). I prefer the flavor over the Japanese snacking seaweed. We tried to make sushi with Korean seaweed once and it just fell apart because it was so thin. SADZ!!!
