Not much bandwidth for personal computing these days. Since I've
been back to work and working remote, the computer is not what I want
to interface with after a work day. I'm still here, just haven't
been motivated to transmit.
I went to the Asian market the other day and got me a package of haw
flakes. Haw flakes are kinda like a candy, I guess. They come in
these cylindrical packages that look like fireworks or something.
When you open them up, you have these disks, about 10 of them, and
they kinda remind me of Necco wafers, but much thinner. They
have an interesting tangy, sweet and sour berry flavor. They are
made from the Chinese hawthorne fruit and I guess they're mashed
with sugar and made into these disks.
My wife saw these and said, "Katawan ni Kristo!" This means "Body
of Christ" in Tagalog. This is what she said with her friends when
she ate these growing up. I guess they do remind me of communion
wafers. Sacrilege!
I haven't had these things since I was a child and was really happy
to see them in the candy section, so I bought a package, which
contained 12 cylinders. As soon as I ate my first disk, instant
nostalgia of eating these with my uncle in the Philippines! Now I
can't stop eating them! I'm almost out and should get m0ar!
