Oh, I am horrible I think From 'over here' (!!!) I got them in Waitrose supermarket - the chocolate's very bitter and the minty bit is really soft and creamy....... Sorry! Sally x

They do sound good! Maybe I can shop around and find a version sold in America. I love chocolate with mint flavor!

Just had frosted shredded miniwheats or whatever they are called with Vanilla Silk and coffee with French Vanilla creamer.

Was there a separate brand name for these chocolates or were they made by that store you got them at?

To tell the truth, I don't really know. I would think that someone makes them for them - Waitrose is kind of the 'top end supermarket' over here with loads of 'own brand' goods plus all the normals.

I would think they're probably re-branded. It's getting quite late here (for me!!) but I'll email them tomorrow to see if I can find out where they're originally from. I know a Company called 'Clarnico' make the original mint creams, not sure about the chocolate ones though. I'll let you know, as soon as I do!! Night night!! Sally x

making london broil and carrots, and re-hydrating some vegis...

[concretegurl]

Okay this is a big deal for me I'm not much of a meat cooker and I've always found meat to be rather difficult to cook, perhaps due to lack of experience.
Ignore the funky steamer I'm cooking some broccoli too.


Anywho I had to like brag about my little accomplishment here!
That's the meat done and then I plated it and took a picture,-oh there's rainbow carrots, and then penne and rotinni with butter, salt and pepper, and of course Larrupin Dill Mustard sauce!

[capt_noonie]

That looks really delicious and the meat looks perfectly done! I like those carrots, they look like they were actually from a farm and not the artificially perfect ones that are at the supermarkets.

What kind of lettuce is that? It's gorgeous. And what is in that box to the right in the 1st pic?

[concretegurl]

Thanks! I was super excited to do it!
It's Sunday night so I'm checking out the state of the refrigerator for trash night.

LOL that's (rainbow) swiss chard-it was getting dried out so I put it on a baking tray and sprayed water on it to rehydrate it.

That's romanesco broccoli I was getting ready to steam in the steamer.

Yeah the carrots are rainbow carrots from a local farm-I shop at our (north coast) co-op, so the majority of it is all local organic produce. Totally no GMO.

I LOVE RAINBOW food no it's the only way we can get the miniature people here to eat some stuff like they eat pasta okay but if it's rainbow rotini they'll clear their plates!

It really looks pretty
