After years of blundering through life and getting it wrong, I decided to go a bit zen and move to Japan. And after 2 years of social mistakes, language errors, over-drinking and karaoke I came home for a break. So now I'm getting it wrong around the UK. This should only be a temporary change, but who knows? Destiny spies a man in high heels and a wig...

Have you tried the new LOOK: Cafe a la Mode? It doesn't seem to be in your package. It's got espresso, caramel latte, cafe latte and almond latte choccies. I just ate a whole packet and am now nicely buzzed up for my kid's eikaiwa. Zzzzzing!
Hey Chris,
Pretty sweet to get a care package with all that. The food you cooked below looked REALLY good too.
Also, very funny pic on the jean-rip show your ass story, and what makes it even funnier is had that been Japan you would have been praised for your sense of "fashion".
Are you employed yet? I'm heading to Ohio to check out the location/area, and depending on that and some other things, I might take it. I give it less than 50% chance though.

So, master, I never really noticed until after I met you: is A La Mode on a yearly cycle or do they do new editions all the time? They WILL bring back Parfait in the springtime, right? Nuts is no fun, Cafe is mediocre. Never liked the Yogurt In. I could go for some Berry, but need my Parfait.
Also, which is better: English or Australian Cadbury?
While the standard "Look A La Mode" is available year round, the varieties undergo regular change. "Nuts a la mode" and "Grapes a la mode" seem to have lasted longer than the others despite "Nuts" being rather dreary. "Cafe A La Mode" is in it's third incarnation since I became aware of the brand, and last year "Berries a la mode" and "Grape a la mode" underwent renewal as yoghurt-in varieties. Also a mystery is the Family Mart connection- the combini chain seems to have a monopoly on some of the best limited editions of the Look family, including a blood orange flavour this summer past. The one in Okayama city (near Cred and Loft) is a regular stockist.
Nothing matched the pre-renewal "Look A La Mode" (almond instead of melon) and "Parfait A La Mode" which had better make a yoghurt-free comeback in spring or Japan will have a new and bitter enemy. Or rather Fujiya will.
Finally, despite what the Aussies may say, British Cadbury's is far superior- smoother and richer than it's southern compatriot.
Gretchen-Maria, I shall be emailing you shortly!
