. My favorite movie snack is Sno-Caps, though Malt Balls were good, too. During COVID19, hubby and I are doing a weekly movie night, complete with Sno-Caps. I never really looked at the box until now. For some reason, they think the standard Sno-Caps box contains three servings. Back in the days of actually going to a movie theater, I'd eat a whole box of Sno-Caps before the previews ended.<div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDncMG7iJjsupxJu-G3uENsbgKpiYlMpy7qfVPFxmccAylNmYdueGNI7puMGWHwXKMGG3euh24CKBLU_q6BBaUwChvv7ZtqZ0e_pBasSog6biuGBaS4fDVoRSr6ywZKNI8kR5vaQ/s2048/IMG_1900.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1936" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDncMG7iJjsupxJu-G3uENsbgKpiYlMpy7qfVPFxmccAylNmYdueGNI7puMGWHwXKMGG3euh24CKBLU_q6BBaUwChvv7ZtqZ0e_pBasSog6biuGBaS4fDVoRSr6ywZKNI8kR5vaQ/s320/IMG_1900.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Box with Sno-Caps</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><br /><p></p><center>~~~o0o~~~</center><p></p></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Thanks for reading and have a chocolicious day.</div>ShellyShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14183404615688013084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001348.post-6143844599676717002020-12-22T14:37:00.003-05:002020-12-22T14:37:43.354-05:00End of a Horrible Year<div><br /><img align="left" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_N_i6pnET6bE/S51B3p1bECI/AAAAAAAAAls/Vt_t6hY-Oyg/ccpost.jpg" /> Yeah, I know. It's been months and months since my last post. I've spent most of the year obsessively reading news about COVID19 and the shameful political situation in the US. I've also watched a lot of TV and movies via streaming services, but didn't keep track, so no movies seen list this year. </div><div><br /></div><div>It used to be so easy to blog, via "Blog This" and other sharing links.

Back when I was growing up, I ate milk chocolate and was content. Then I tried one of these Hershey dark chocolate mini-bars. They're not high percentage cacao the way fancier chocolates are these days, but they're infinitely better than milk chocolate. It's nice to see them with an updated wrapper.<br />

I meant to post this weeks ago, but I've really upped my procrastinator game in recent years.<br />
<br />
I didn't get to a theater much last year, just twice. I saw <b>Avengers: Endgame</b> and <b>Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker </b>and loved them both.<br />
<br />
Seen on TV:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Crazy Rich Asians</b>: I haven't watched rom-coms in years, but this was so well-reviewed, I gave it a try and loved it.</li>
<li><b>One Upon a Deadpool</b>: I ended up watching the PG version, with all the f-bombs bleeped. It was actually funny that way, including interludes/explanations of things they couldn't show.</li>
<li><b>The Wife</b>: Glenn Close is mesmerizing in this.</li>
<li><b>First Man</b>: Fictional account of Neil Armstrong becoming the first man to set foot on the moon. Riveting. </li>
<li><b>Solo: A Star Wars Story</b>: A lot of people didn't like this movie about Han Solo's early years, but I thought it was fun. Plus, Alden Ehrenreich was delightful as Han and Donald Glover was great as Lando.</li>
<li><b>On the Basis of Sex</b>: Felicity Jones is masterful playing Ruth Bader Ginsberg.</li>
<li><b>Fantastic Beasts 2: The Crimes of Gindelwald</b>: A nice follow-up to the first one, a bit more suspenseful, as middle-of-trilogy movies should be.</li>
<li><b>Ugly Dolls</b>: A totally charming, animated movie about the Ugly Doll toys.</li>
<li><b>Can You Ever Forgive Me</b>: Based on a true story, this starred Melissa McCarthy as a writer-turned-forger. She proves she's not just funny, but a talented actress.</li>
</ul>

Somehow, I missed the <a href="https://gothamist.com/food/bye-bye-mast-bros-confectionary-scammers-decamp-mount-kisco">Mast Bros. Chocolate</a>. That seems like a good thing now, given the claims of inferiority. Sounds like the whole thing is just scammers preying on lovers of chocolate.<br />

<span style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Ghirardelli's Moonlight Mystique is far more intense, at 92 per cent cacao, for my taste. It almost doesn't taste like chocolate to me and is kind of dry.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Ghirardelli's Cabernet Matinee is a solid bar of chocolate. I was expecting a liquid center the way they do some of their infused squares, so this was a bit weird tasting to me. It has a very fruity, tangy flavor.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><br /></span>

So I tried this Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert from Haagen-Dazs. I was curious about it and couldn't resist anything called Chocolate Salted Fudge Truffle. It's made from soy and doesn't have the smoothness of ice cream, but the flavor is satisfying for the chocoholic in me. If you can't eat dairy but can eat soy, it's worth a try.<br />

<br />
I did mix a packet of Swiss Miss Dark, Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate, and No Chewing Allowed Hot Chocolate with milk and some boiling water and it was yummy.<br />

I meant to post this sooner: the movies I saw in 2018. Some were seen in the movie theater, others on TV. Here they are in no particular order:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i>Ocean's 8</i>: A delightful, all-female caper movie</li>
<li><i>Black Panther</i>: One of Marvel Studio's best superhero films</li>
<li><i>Blade Runner 2049</i>: I hesitate to admit I never saw "Blade Runner." I did find this enjoyable and easy enough to follow.</li>
<li><i>Dunkirk</i>: A well done fictionalized account of the evacuation of British soldiers from the beach at Dunkirk during WWII.</li>
<li><i>Ant-Man and the Wasp</i>: A fun sequel to Ant-Man</li>
<li><i>Thor: Ragnorak</i>: Nice blend of serious and fun. Perhaps the best of the three Thor movies</li>
<li><i>Avengers: Infinity War</i>: Quite the cliffhanger to end this one. Things are getting dark in the Marvel movie-verse.</li>
<li><i>Jumanji</i>: Welcome to the Jungle: Four teens get sucked into an old video game as their adult avatars. Fun movie.</li>
</ul>
<br />

I love typography, so this <a href="https://www.moo.com/blog/interviews/fonts-reveal-brand-type-tasting">post from MOO</a> caught my attention. The actual site is <a href="https://www.typetasting.com/">Type Tasting</a>. I'm sure no one would be surprised to learn I took the <a href="https://www.typetasting.com/type-tasting-lab">Type Tasting survey</a> for Chocolate product fonts.<br />

I know I don't blog here much, anymore, and I keep thinking about ending this blog, but it's my oldest and dearest blog, started on AOL back in 2004, so I keep it, posting infrequently. I don't even know if anyone is still reading it. But here I am, another year about to end. I thought I'd serve up another batch of links.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The <a href="https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/12/21/18151903/history-jews-chinese-food-christmas-kosher-american">Jewish Tradition of Eating Chinese Food on Christmas</a> goes back longer than I'd thought.</li>

<li>The Maccabeats really scored with their "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgywrSo4o3c">I Had a Little Dreidel</a>" video.</li>
<li>Much as I hate to, I must give kudos to the Atlanta Braves (enemy of the NY Mets, boo hiss) for scoring a home run with <a href="http://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/braves-celebrate-christmas-with-home-alone-parody">this "Home Alone" spoof</a>.</li>
<li><a href="http://nietzsche%20family%20circus/">"The Nietzsche Family Circus"</a> is the single panel comic we all didn't know we needed.</li>

Came across a questionnaire on Facebook, so figured I'd waste some time and answer it here, just to keep this blog viable. It's been a bad few months.<br />

I've never had any Quaker Oats snacks before, but the chocolate in the name of these Chocolate Rice Crisps caught my eye during a recent visit to the supermarket and, of course, I had to try them.<br />
