gnightgirl: I have moved on from kuaci to sunflower seeds. It keeps me from falling asleep when burning the midnight oil. Better than a coffee-fix. Honest!( Yes kuaci is melon seeds..)
Kuaci these days aren't like what it used to be. I rememeber they were actually EASY to bite open...or is it because my teeth are getting porous? Sigh.... Another tradition to discard!
I have discovered pumpkin seeds (for my cholesterol problem). MUCH nicer.
Goodnight girl - I don't think that food colouring is toxic. It looks like cochineal to me, which is made from squashed beetles. You'd think that would be toxic, but apparently it isn't.
The name of this blog was shamelessly pinched from that wonderful programme starring Joanne Lumley and Jeniffer Saunders. Thank you for dropping by...
Most of the pictures are my own. When I can remember ( which is only lately) I credit the folks whose pictures I blog. Apologies to the owners of earlier pictures used in this blog. Back in the dark ages, I wasn't as tech-savvy as now.

God if you can't make me thin, at least make my friends fat.

I had to look it up, of course. It's melon seeds, yes? I found several different versions. Seems like it's getting a bad rap from toxic food-coloring.

Jimbo: sunflower seeds! sunflower seeds! gentler on the enamel
You eat the salted ones? They curl your lips after awhile, don't they?
