Lemon cake part two (Or: Marks and Spencer)

Posted on August 31, 2014 by Niki

A while back I had taken a picture of the lemon cake at Marks and Spencer (which opened this year in The Hague). However the lighting wasn’t that great. So here it is again, as Marco and I went back last weekend…

The lemon cake is actually quite sour, especially the top layer. The trick is the slightly wet-looking area just below the icing and dark brown layer. Quite sour! Definitely recommend trying it out if you enjoy sour items.

And now I want lemonheads…

Movie theater candy (Or: Thor time!)

Posted on November 11, 2013 by Niki

Last Sunday morning Marco, Roger and I went to the movie theater in town to see the new Thor movie, Thor: The Dark World. As sometimes happens, this movie was released in the Netherlands a full week before it was released in America.

The movie was pretty good – the pacing was pretty nice and I didn’t feel that the middle or the end of the movies dragged too much. It was nice to see more character development with the side characters (including Darcy) and of course Thor as eye candy is always good. They have a shirtless scene near the beginning for Thor-approving fans!

Before the movie I took a quick moment to take a picture of the candy options, although it’s not really something I would ever purchase (even ignoring the insane movie theater prices):

As you can see it is not that much different from the setup of a typical American movie theater – similar candy is offered there as well. The one thing I was tempted by were the sour bears on the left side of the 2nd picture, near the bottom. Yum, sour candy!

Candy (Or: Halloween after a hurricane)

Posted on November 8, 2012 by Niki

I figured that the students and staff would need a little pick-me-up after the craziness of Hurricane Sandy, as classes only resumed yesterday. And then yesterday’s evening classes were canceled due to the Nor’easter! (winter storm)

Here is the candy that I purchased and passed out today (along with a cute orange pumpkin pail!):

So, there is:

1) Starburst chewy fruit candy

2) Skittles Riddles – (more chewy fruit candy) the flavor doesn’t match the color 😉

3) various chocolates – Hershey’s, Reese’s peanut butter cups, Whoppers malted milk balls, and Kit Kat bars; Nestle crunch (not shown in the picture)

So far I have managed not to eat anything myself. Go me.
