M & M’s Carmel filled are terrible why am I still eating them?

So I was looking forward to these when they were announced a while back.

Found them at my local Walmart Supermarket.

They have no taste and there’s a sickly sweet taste sometimes you get or just left with a wad of the filling. They are definitely bigger, the size of the crunchy filled ones. You can really get sick on eating them all. We don’t like them very much but we’ll keep nibbling on them in the house. Also pictured are Starbursts gummies on the right. Which was a much better choice for new candy to try. These had a actual taste and a bright coloring. Though seemed pink and red had a higher percentage in the bag.

There is a agreement with my mom that the Peanut butter filled and Starbursts Gummies are much better.

Would I buy these again: Uh big fat NO

Non book related post but thought I should share this.

There were some parts where I got really annoyed on where I was suppose to go or get items. Like the chimera heart. It’s in Isolation U 1 via 8 or 9 tunnel down or the drumming pigs. There I spammed Apocalypse a whole lot. There was quite a bit of hand holding in moving through the game which I did not mind as I hate running around trying to get to places/things and having no clue. Nice but pretty short for only 6 arcs. Wish Nintendo actually brought this over in English as I could see others playing it. Maybe as a digital download? I am still waiting for Detective Pikachu to come to the US. Reminds me of Radiant Historica which is a awesome underrated game to play.

Things I’ve found in Cambridge’s H-Mart

Wow! They have a Go Go Curry! (Which I avoid, allergic to a ingredient(s) they use)

Caffe Latte Premium Sri Lanka Tea
Reminds me of the powdered milk tea I convert cause I love it. It has a nice milky taste.

Matcha Love (Matcha in green tea) mini can
Interesting, something as a pick up for work maybe. Loved the small size of it. Great for the morning to wake up.

Canned Thai tea
Think my stomach didn’t like this…. Which is sad.

Sweet potato fries
Really interesting and sweet. Though I did come across a few bits that were uneatable. They were not oily and those I shared with liked them enough to take some to go.

Sadly I had gotten sick the first night I was in Cambridge eating what my friend figures was from eating cut up dragon fruit… [Which you can see next to the Sri Lanka drink] If I did not get sick I would have bought more fries, Sri Lanka and mini matcha.

Soon will be a anime Boston post I hopefully can put together.

Reading in the blood?

As far back as my memory serves me I have always piggybacked read whatever my mom was reading. I remember being on the airplane, bored as heck when I noticed my mom was done with her book. It was a Nora Roberts book, I believe Birthright as it had a deep red cover. Since then I love reading any book she was reading. Now a days it has reversed where something I read is passed to her. Most of the time… She gets into my netgalley books if they contain cowboys or thrillers before I have a chance to read them as our kindle account is connected. I mean what is there to do when waiting at the laundromat? When she came to me about reading more from X-Ops I had to do a double take. She surprised me that she enjoyed the supernatural arc, so what did I do? I introduced her to Mandy M. Roth I-Ops world and now I know if it has lots of thriller/suspense in it she may like it. I scan my free ebook email listings for thrillers to send to her. Have since told her she needs to read Midnight Men/Men of Midnight by  Lisa Marie Rice and anything by Miranda P. Charles. She already came to me for more by Miranda P. Charles. Sometimes she exasperates me to just shake my head at her though. Like last week or two I forgotten I had won a book from the lovely coyer ladies and my book came in the mail. What happens? She jumps right into reading it…. Did not even get a chance to even look inside the book. Was going to bring the book with me to read during my layover coming home from my trip. Did not happen as she was halfway through the book.

I actually saw a guy on the Boston bus with a Debbie Macomber book I just had to tell him that she writes great books, I love her Yarn series.

Right now I’m crazy for Midnight Men/Men of Midnight by Lisa Marie Rice and anything by Miranda P. Charles.
