Cuttie Cuppies Shoppe and the Wondrous Delights Beyond B.C., PI

Christmas is in the air!  … and we feel it in the temperature drop. \m/ (Jack Frost’s nipping at my fingers, my back … c-c-c-Cold.)

(I’ll put the verdict on my taste test for yum-yums that Cuttie Cuppies sent me in the photo captions.  It was a tough choice to pick a favorite since each had their own merits.  I’m thinking too that they’re not really in the same category to be compared to each other, so anyway, here we go. =) )

See’s Candies toffee-ettes. While I’m not really a nut person (nutty, maybe, yes *harhar), with See’s Candies Toffee-ettes and Almond Royal, I didn’t mind the nuts. Toffee around the almonds was a delightful way to eat almonds. (to be continued on Almond Royal photo)

If you’re anything like my sister, you’d like goodies galore (ready) for the holidays; those that were unheard of before, new and special.  You’ll be glad to hear that we have a ‘supplier’ for these in Baguio City now. =D Read More…

Mother Earth (a.k.a Corinthians Store) Knows Best

I’ve always been a sucker for PX goods.  Ever since I could go out on my own, I remember spending a few minutes at the imported goods section of Victoria’s Supermart, ogling the six packs of Hershey’s choco (Oh the simple desires of childhood.  I’ve since moved on from Hershey’s cookies and mint to Cadbury Turkish delight to Lindt truffles – although, this one, you can get mostly from airport shops  – an elusiveness which makes me want it more ^^,) and the jars of cherries (where my strange habit of snacking on ingredients, as my brother refers to it, was probably born).  If I wasn’t at Victoria’s, I was at Benguet Supermart and yes, I’m a statue in front of the PX rack again.
