While I was rolling through the cooking alley of a bookstore, I discovered these gems.
Party Nuts! Balls! Buy me this – buy me that!
And I will fill the balls with party nuts. Yummy.

Happy New Year
Happy New Year, dear readers.
I hope you celebrated in style with upside down champagne by Viktor & Rolf.
Watch the ad.
I’m still a bit thirsty as the limited edition bubbly is apparently not available in Ontario. Maybe even Canada?!
Need an upside down party soon.

Half Cheese, Half Bunny
We’re continuing with animal week at produzentin.com, here are Oliver’s most cherished creatures:
My favourite animals are cheddar bunnies. And my favourite bunny is Bernie, the Rabbit of Approval. Do I love cheddar bunnies because of Bernie, the Rabbit of Approval, or do I love Bernie because of the Cheddar Bunnies he approves? Yes and Yes! Plus I secretly identify with Bernie.
p.s.: My other favourite animal is the Giant Peccary, a new forest pig discovered in Brazil in 2004.
Orange Coke
As you may have noticed, once in a while, I like to bring you news from the amazing world of fizzy drinks. So, one of the first things I discovered in London is Coca-Cola with Orange. The limited edition fizzy in the orange bottle just caught my attention. So yummy.
Now, I can’t wait for Fanta with caffeine in a brown bottle.
Somehow, I can’t stop thinking about Mezzo Mix. Anyhow, I’d rather have Coca Cola with Orange. It isn’t limited for no reason, right?
While I’m at it, I’m still wondering why Pepsi Cucumber was launched in Japan only. I think it would go perfectly with British Cucumber Sandwiches.
All Buzzed Up
In anticipation of the upcoming Simpsons movie a couple of 7-Eleven stores in the US and one in Canada have been transformed into Kwik-E-Marts. The Canadian store is near Vancouver, in Coquitlam. Luckily, all the Simpsons products are available at most of the 7-11 stores.
So today, I went up the street and got myself a six-pack of Buzz Cola and the tasty Krusty O’s cereal. Now, all I have to do is create my own Simpsons character.

Sometimes It Sno Balls in June
After a wonderful night out with the best friends one could possibly have, I woke up this morning and treated myself with very very delicious Sno Balls. It’s the perfect breakfast: The balls are pink and sweet from the outside but are dark and lovely from the inside. Layers and layers of fun. Amazing.
Nobody nose me

Mucho Nucho
Yesterday I spent a wonderful afternoon with my dear friend Margot. She just came back to Toronto from visiting her family in Nova Scotia. Margot had lots of amazing stories to tell and a delicious recipe to share. She knows I love all things east coast.
This cookie recipe is apparently a tradition of her family. They are called Mucho Nuchos. They don’t require baking and are a tasty treat.
So, if you want to surprise your guests, here is the run down:
3 bags of peanut butter chips
3 bags of chocolate chips
3 cups of peanuts (give or take)
1 bag of salted potato chips (Ruffles are suggested)

This is all you need
Mix the chocolate and peanut butter chips in a big pot
Put them on medium heat
Especially in the beginning, you have to stir hard
We obviously couldn’t wait
Melted dreams
Margot adds the peanuts
Potato chips, now!
More hard stirring required
Almost done: just put the cookies on a tray…
…and into the freezer for a couple of minutes.
Freezers are the new ovens.
Done!
Mucho Nuchos: A heavenly feast.
Just a little suggestion: wash them down with some Diet Coke plus
(that’s Diet Coke with added vitamins and minerals)
Margot and I love to have a balanced diet.
