Double Cream?? Of course!!



Yan Yan is a tube of crunchy cracker sticks you can dip. The pack comes with creamy frosting, usually strawberry or chocolate. Then they invented Double Cream! I don't think I need to explain what that is.

Crunchy! Sweet! Chocolate-y! Strawberry-y!
Grade: B+

This show opened at Giant Robot New York on Saturday.


We stopped by and it was a good time! All the art was very impressive. My fav were the ones about laundry.

Baron Broad Bean!

I think the broad (fava) bean often gets a bad rap.


These broad beans deep fried with garlic and salt are popular all over China. It's one of our favorite snacks here at Spök-spök HQ.

Crunchy! Salty! Garlic-y!
Grade: A+

We had a problem with them disappearing so we set up a spy camera... guess what it caught?

Happy Moon Day!

It's moon day! The official name is Mid-Autumn Festival, but it's all about the full moon.

Moon day is a special day when the whole family gathers together after dinner, drinks some tea, and "admires the moon." Like every good holiday it revolves around love and pastry.


There is a legend involving 10 suns, archery, gods, love and immortality. But the pastry is what everyone really cares about!




Moon cakes are dense and puck shaped. They are filled with anything from red bean and lotus paste to egg yokes or meat. Usually a whole family shares just one or 2 moon cakes. We've only ever known one person to eat a whole moon cake by himself (We're looking at you Daniel!)

Cheese!

Toofhairy is from Scotland; then she lived in Sweden as an au pair toof.



So it makes perfect sense that her favorite food would be lasagna!

NYC Subway Smiles!

Here's a cute story from earlier today. I (that's me, Daniel) was on the subway on my way to the office, as always it was busy and lots of people. Most people were grumpy, but then a little kid and his mom stepped on the train, and the kid was holding a... Toofhairy!


Believe it or not, but I think the entire subway car started smiling the second that kid walked in. That's the effect Toofhairy have on people (and the kid was adorable)!
