Candy ranks high among my staple food. Tonight, after a tiring ordeal involving the capture, torture and eventual murder of three "jumbo" flies which had harassed me and my food after managing entry into my apartment, I went out and got myself some candy along with a Red Bull and some chilli.

Eating chilli with "minicable" candy (and a bit of dried fish) reminds me of times long gone when I heartily ate scraped "kaashi" mixed with sugar and "valhoa mas". The mixture was made and eaten inside the "kaashi falhi". It was just so yummy! It's a taste I loved and miss. (Anyone ate it? It's supposed to be a traditional snack!)
