 NB>>>> it mostly tasted like a meaty caramel in the chocolate...
 RH>>> We took the rest home and have been enjoying it for what it is.
 RH>>> do they make a dark chocolate version?
 NB>>> Cadbury has dark chocolate, so maybe...  But maybe not...
 RH>> We probably won't actively seek it out but if one happens to fall into
 RH>> our laps, we'll try it and give a review.
 NB>> You'd probably have to have an Australian (or English) connection for
 NB>> that to happen... or an enterprising Brit import shop around... ;)

 RH> Alas, no direct connections. Don't know of any Brit import shop in the
 RH> area either. 

There was one in the plaza near where my son had his apartment when we
first visited them in Scottsdale... had LOTS of interesting stuff in
there... There has been one in this area, but I don't know what they'd
carry now, or even if they still exist... they certainly aren't where
they used to be, since that house was condemned for road/intersection
changes some years ago... 

 RH> We did check out a new to us Hispanic market last week; Steve picked
 RH> up another white coconut (like he found last year at H Mart) and a
 RH> coconut water drink that had good sized bits of coconut in it.

Which, I take it, Steve has been enjoying pretty exclusively...  ;)

 NB>>> Did you have any of the red (spicy) peanuts...?
 RH>> I just nibbled once, and don't recall if I had any of the red peanuts
 RH>> or not. My blood glucose readings were going up that week so I tried
 RH>> not to do a lot of between meal snacking.
 NB>> The red peanuts were probably the spiciest part of that mix... the red
 NB>> was a cayenne coating...

 RH> I don't think I had any; I only took a few, top of the heap, nuts.
 RH> They had some tingle but not a lot.

Yeah, even the regular peanuts had a little tingle, from the dust in the
mix from the spicier things... :) 
 
 RH>> Now that we're home, I'm doing much better. I'm balancing the carbs
 RH>> and proteins a lot easier and overall, eating on regular hours.
 RH>> Then too, we've not had to wait for chicken to be cooked in the rain
 RH>> over a recalcitrant charcoal grill either; Steve really put out the
 RH>> effort that night.
 NB>> For sure.  :)  I think the only thing that that grill cooked ok were
 NB>> the chicken sausages and the white hots... that didn't need much, just
 NB>> heating...  ;)  The rain certainly didn't help things at all... ;0

 RH> The rain didn't help but the grill was woefully inadequate for the job
 RH> it was tasked to do. Also, Steve hadn't cooked on charcoal for so
 RH> long, he quite underestimated the time needed to get it going and the
 RH> chicken cooked.

And, quite possibly, also the amount of charcoal he'd need for that
amount of chicken... 

 NB>> We tried not to be too far off-schedule, but sometimes things were
 NB>> just not in our control... ;)

 RH> It happens from time to time. We generally try to eat around 6 but it
 RH> didn't happen tonight as Steve mowed the yard somewhat later than
 RH> planned, thanks to an unplanned rain shower.

Yup, things can happen anywhere... without warning... ;)

 RH> Tomorrow night we'll make up for it by having to eat early as we've got
 RH> nursery duty at church and have to be there by about 6:15. I like to
 RH> have the kitchen clean up done before we leave also.

Balance things out somewhat...  ;)
