Better than a confection, nature's own magnificent apricots are transformed into an uncommonly delicious treat.  I haven't a clue to how apricots are glaceed, but the wonderful fresh flavor of apricot is enhanced by whatever they do.  To call them apricot candy simply does not do them justice.  These are magnificent glaceed apricots.  I have enjoyed glaceed apricots from many producers and these are spectacular.  Juicy and sweet and fresh and bursting with "apricotiness" .... Packed and delivered expertly.  I make these a favorite to give as gifts for the holidays and for other special occasions.  YUMMY!!!!!!

Can't talk about the show; haven't seen it, but I sure want to, now that I've heard this heartwarming, clever, melodic, intelligent score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Before this show, I'd never heard of these two writers, but on the strength of this score, I think we'll be hearing a lot of them in the decades to come. I hope so, because their infectious score (as catchy as pinkeye)is one of the best I've heard this century.

Imagine: catchy melodies with intelligent, occasionally wise, and often funny lyrics sitting comfortably on the notes, not squished in regardless of where the music is going, and with actual rhymes, not the kind of near-rhymes that seem to be good enough for some writers these days. Not these guys. Lyric structure means something to them, with lines held together with alliteration ("When you're a wimp you get wise to the ways of the wood"), clever and appropriate lyric changes from verse to verse ("The hawks swoop and scoop you up as their prey" becomes "We swoop and scoop them up as they pray"), and some lines that just bring joy to the ear--what kid hasn't at some point wished it was "almost nearly getting close to counting down to Christmas"?

If there are musical antecedents to the score, they're in echoes of "Falsettos," and "Grey Gardens," and "Avenue Q," and I never realized how much Liz Callaway (Mother on the recording, but not in the show this year) sounds like Stephanie D'Abruzzo. And of course, there are musical echoes of Sondheim. None of this is bad, and none of it detracts one iota from this score, which, supported by Larry Blank's terrific orchestrations, keeps the time period in mind, and if it veers from a 1939 or 1940 vibe, it's only to nod to 1960's Broadway.

Oh--and the kid, Clarke Hallum, is just amazing. Whoever else plays Ralphie will have a really hard act to follow.

I triple dog dare you to not love this score.

These cookies are delicious. I first tasted them when a box came in a Mother's Day gift basket.  When the last crumb had vanished, I searched for more on Amazon and, sure enough, my favorite shopping spot came through.  This crunchy, buttery waffle cookie is a terrific addition to a bowl of Blue Bell (yes, I'm a loyal Texan) ice cream or a good cup of tea or coffee. We even eat them with a cup of yogurt or kefir as a light evening meal.  You'll find your own favorite situations for this tasty treat.  The only thing I would change is the packaging.  Each thin box holds only 8 cookies, although each cookie is about 1 1/2 x 3 inches, so one cookie is plenty to eat in most cases.  Also on the positive side, the small packaging ensures that the crispiness lasts after the box is opened. I should add, the cookies are in two plastic nests of four cookies inside a foil package inside the cardboard box, so a good clamp keeps the opened cookies crisp and whole. Bon apetit!

This wonderful chocolate lost its quality in transit.  Seems it really has to be purchased in shop.  Freshness and rich texture and superb flavor make this chocolate a special treat.

I first had these in Japan fifteen years ago.  I always looked forward to a package of Pocky when I traveled to Japan.  Seriously, these were a whole lot better than a typical Japanese treat of a roll filled with red bean paste.  There just weren't many chocolate treats in Japan at that time.  And then, they started appearing in Asian grocery stores in this country.  Only the small boxes.  It was nice to buy a box now and then to remind me of Japan.  But now, they are showing up in Walmart and Costco.  Even though they are delicious they are not the treat they used to be--for me.

These seem a little different from the ones in Japan.  The chocolate is the same and the size is the same, but I think the stick is more pretzel-like in Japan.  They are still very good and I think I could eat them all day If I let myself buy one of the giant packages like the one above.

These were fun to look forward to in Japan or to buy in Asian supermarkets in this country to remind me of Japan.  They are good, but we have so many different treat choices in the U.S. that these don't seem that special now that they are everywhere.  Still, they might be different enough from the usual treats to make it big in the U.S.  Definitely worth trying!

Wow, just as good as I expected!  I'm glad I grabbed a couple pieces when it was first opened, because my kids gobbled them up in a day or two. Rich and buttery, like I remember trying years ago at my aunt's place.

Absolutely delicious: old-fashioned treat that is great on its own or used in a recipe to "spruce up" the taste.

Whatever awards this bar may have won, I just like how it tastes. I tried the Askinosie Davao first, but that one was too dark for my preference. This one, at 70%, hit the spot. I had to force myself to stop breaking off squares.

Dark, no offputting bitter notes, sweet, almost on the verge of being too-sweet, but NOT too sweet, so they hit that special spot just right for me. The bar comes in a cool "we're enviro" type of wrapping, including the paper and the ropey/strawish tie.

A very high quality choco bar.

However, I'd recommend you get it from Askinosie (if no place sells it on the ground), cause if you order $40 minimum in winter, you get free 2-3 day shipping, which is cool. And trust me, you'll want more than one bar.

Enjoy.

Just order a few. The expiration dates are off in the future and they freeze well.
Simply delicious and addictive.
Perfect of last minute entertaining with a scoop of ice cream or for that nagging
sweet tooth you can quiet down. Bring the flavor of the islands home and enjoy.

Wonderful dialog, clever situations, spectacular examples of liberal thought and human influences. The humor is always near and your connections to the cast will surprise you.  The sad moments seem real. Jeff Daniel is superb as the news anchor. There are great performances by the entire cast. You will be as delighted as I was.
