Facebook

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

I joined Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/calabresechris.

I have to admit in the past I’ve thumbed my nose at “social networking” sites (my few excursions to MySpace gave me the impression that social networking was a frivolous time-waster), but FaceBook is quite sophisticated. After using it for a few days I can see why books about FaceBook are showing up in the Business sections of bookstores.

Haagen-Dazs Green Tea: Take Two

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

In a previous post I talked about my excitement to discover that Haazen-Dazs had released a green tea ice cream in the USA, and my subsequent disillusionment when I discovered the contents were not the same as the Japanese version.

I have continued to eat—and enjoy—my stash of green tea ice cream. I am disappointed it’s not the same as the Japanese version, but I still maintain that it’s the best mainstream green tea ice cream you can buy in the USA. Apparently I’m not the only one that thinks that way, because Haagen-Dazs has decided to make it a permanent addition to their lineup—no more “Limited Edition” on the package.
