It’s probably because the post is from 2009. . . sorry, but that giveaway is long over. I hope to offer something just as good this week!

The comment box won’t show up for me at the give away entry, try as I might. I would love to have a chance to win it though. I drink regular green tea daily, but this looks absolutely scrumptious and it being a powder it opens up for so many other options!

(I tweeted it too)

I made the ACD-friendly truffles last night -SO DELICIOUS! Wow! Ricki, these are incredible! One thing though – when I melted my chocolate, instead of getting really smooth, it got kind of chunky. I think I should have used a double boiler, to me it seemed like it had gotten too hot (even over very low heat) and the cocoa butter separated from teh cocoa mass. Instead of being velvety, the mixture was kind of chunky and weird; it took a lot of stirring and rolling after it had cooled to get a smooth texture, I even stirred in a little carob powder to help it all stick together a little bit. Did you experience this at all? REgardless, they smoothed out once rolled in to balls, and they taste in-freakin’-credible. You, Ricki Heller, are a goddess.

Oh I loved rotary phones!! I had one when I was younger that I decorated with fabric paint haha. What a wonderful story about your penpal. =) And of course these truffles sounds amazing combining chocolate, coconut milk, and matcha!

what a great story about your penpal – I feel sad sometimes at the lost art of letter writing – when younger there was something very special about an aerogram for overseas mail but I never see these now (although I am old fashioned enough still to use handerchiefs) – and I sent some postcards on my last trip (coming to your mailbox soon I hope) but it is not the same when emails and phone calls and blog posts are giving information about the trip before the mail arrives!

And I have never had this matcha tea but often wanted to try it – now I want to get some more than ever to try the truffles

would you believe that my dad still uses handkerchiefs?! it’s crazy & i love it! tee hee! i had a russian pen-pal in grade school – we exchanged letters once and i never heard back from her after i sent her a second letter. that’s too awesome that you and Mako are still in touch & bonded so well. she sounds like an amazing person – and you had me giggling with her sleepy jet-lag language. tee hee! i saw matcha just the other day and wondered what it was all about. it was a bit expensive, but i think i might have to pick some up and give it a whirl. both the latte AND the truffles sound heavenly!
