Japanese Snacks from 7-Eleven

On kamado-pickup day, me and CQ dropped into the 7-Eleven Store on Nuuanu by Kawananakoa School to pick up some refreshments. Right inside the door was a stand full of these Japanese snacks. I was like, "Oh oh oh . . . look . . . look!" I grabbed a bunch of stuff. Excited as I was to buy the snacks, I didn't get to bust it out until today.

This is the Crunch Chocolate. I thought it was gonna be like a mini brownie.
But it was more like an oversized Coco Puff . . . small-kine disappointing.
This is the Dried Cuttlefish.
It was pretty fishy tasting, just a little spicy, a little bit too dry.
This is the Crispy Double Cheese snack.
It turned out to be Marvin's favorite.
This Sesame Cookie Stick was probably the most boring of all the snacks.
It was not bad, just okay, a little on the sweet side.
This Chocolate Puff Stick was my favorite.
Individually wrapped . . .
chocolate on the outside . . .
hollow, light and crispy on the inside.

Daikon Update: Good News: The daikon is still radishy-bitter, but is beginning to absorb the flavor of my pickling liquid. Bad News: The room where I have the daikon pickling is smelling like fart . . . and the daikon is in the 'fridge!

OMG Kat. We have an enclosed garage, and that's where the fridge with the daikon is, so it's not in the main house area. As soon as I walked into that room tonight, I was like *sniff* *sniff* "Sheeze, is that the daikon?" My son goes, "Yup".

Les . . . don't say that bad word . . . and yes, beautiful hands!

Rand, did you check out Erick's? I'm soooo jealous. Maybe next time you can come with us.

Betty, I hope the smell goes away soon . . . or does it get worse?
