will thanks! about the hungry, i have been known, when writing/researching for my food blog, to get up in the middle, go to the store, buy ingredients, make food, eat it, then go back to writing. it's an occupational hazard!

greg -- i'm telling you. it's pretty delicious stuff. it's a little cube, green matcha core, covered in chocolate. soft, not that sweet, truffly consistency. so damn good.

and andrea, you are an amazing woman! sadly jlist had the delightful commercial for the matcha flavor, but not the stuff itself -- such a tease. but way to go finding it on ebay. this is an exciting day. and yes, the mexican spices in the supermarket are a great find -- the little baggies save on packaging too. sometimes they hide them underneath the produce, those sneaky devils.

yeah, myr, you probably won't have the same selection in a smaller city, but you'll still hopefully have one or two close by. just takes some exploring to find them sometimes (which, to me, is a good thing!)

and lynn, matcha kitkat sounds delicious. and they're *green*! so pretty. we had the grape flavor (not purple, fyi) when we were there. as you might expect, kinda gross. did you notice 'winter asse' candy on the same page? nice.
