(Adult) Hello Kitty Fans, Look Here!

Costantly buying Hello Kitty toys and clothes for your children (daughters?) but never anything for yourself? Now you can buy Hello Kitty wine!

Choose between red, white, bubbly rosé and bubbly dessert wine. (Apparently not sold in Sweden yet but it's probably just a question of time.)

Food Tasting

Today after work I attended a food tasting at a market survey institute. I signed up ages ago after a friend of mine told me about it but haven't been able to actually taste anything until now. I thought I'd find myself among hords of students trying to make that extra buck (yes, it is paid) but it was actually a mix of ages. Tonight's menu consisted of caramel and chocolate toppings and sour cream. Not at the same time though. I was actually a bit disappointed that the point of the study wasn't to come up with new recipes with as few ingredients as possible, but to say the least, I enjoyed it. Between tasting you were encouraged to sip some water or nibble on some crackers, just like wine tasting at Oxford. It was not the kind of social gathering I had hoped for though (there goes my thinking that this could be a way to meet guys) as you're seated in a little booth by yourself with just the tasting items and a computer as company. Depending on how quickly you "eat" and answer questions about taste, texture, etc. you're free to leave whenever you want to. On my way out I saw the remnants of a wine tasting so expect to hear more about future tastings!
