278th New Thing - Ate Japanese Meiji Chocolate

I didn't have time to post last night, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred a couple days ago (Tues 7/24/12).

I cannot remember where I picked up this bar of chocolate (I know it was a free sample somewhere) but I tried Meiji Milk Chocolate a couple days ago. Meiji is a Japanese company, based on the main themes of food and pharmaceuticals, that provid products, services, and information in the related fields of confectionery, food products, medicine, health, agricultural chemicals and veterinary medicines, and the environment. They make biscuits, candies, and chocolates. I had a chocolate bar. Under the embossed paper sleeve the bar is wrapped in a rather thin foil. There are 15 segments - 5 across and 3 down. The ingredients are sugar, cacao mass, whole milk powder, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, and artificial flavor. The color was darker than ordinary milk chocolates and less milky. The melt was rough and flaky not smooth. The flavor was deep and smoky. I grew up eating Swiss chocolate, therefore I'm not a fan of this chocolate or any other chocolate for that matter.

What did you do today?

When I was there, the doctor did a biopsy of 1 of the moles on my back (which came back as normal, by the way). The area was healing pretty well until about 2 weeks ago. The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u...

364th New Thing - Ate a Mini Lemon Bites

My co-workers birthday was today so to celebrate they bought her a vanilla cake, a chocolate cake, and mini lemon bites from Costco . I had some chocolate cake and a mini lemon bite. These are made by Upper Crust Bakery . They supply Sam's Club, Starbucks, Costco, Kroger, Whole Foods, and BJ’s Wholesale Club. Both desserts that I ate tasted good. According to the Livestrong Calorie Tracker , 1 mini lemon bite is 130 calories, 19 g carbs, and 1 g protein. What did you do today?
