from denmark with love

sometimes food is good enough to talk about. 

who am i kidding, most of the time i'm talking about food...

but it's rare that i talk about junk food.  this, however, is one of those fine occasions. 

my lovely coworker lillian just got back from a trip to denmark and has subsequently treated the office with little goodies since her return. first she shared with 'daim' candies... little chocolate-covered toffee bites.  every time we picked a nibble out of the HUGE bag she brought home, a loud "daaaammmmmnnnn!" exploded from the candy-eater.  they were delicious.

but then yesterday, lil supplied us with the treat of all treats.  SOMBA cookies.  you see, i am a girl who grew up on mallomars, the greatest cookie of all time.  this is an item that somehow says 'new york' to me.  (who knows why... maybe because they were referenced in 'when harry met sally'?  i'm not totally sure.)  anyway, though i thought mallomars were the greatest cookie item on earth, i was proven incorrect yesterday when i met SOMBA!  the ultimate mallomar:

a marshmallow fluff tower
(not a regular marshmallow like that found within a mallomar)

set atop a wafer
(i do prefer the graham bottom of the classic instead)

topped with a thin chocolate shell. 

(a bit more sugary than that which encases mallomars)

HOLY MOLY THESE WERE OUTSTANDING! 

i wish i could have one for breakfast right now...

look at the height on this guy!

and that inner mound of fluffy, whipped goodness...

em, if you can find these in fr, DO! 

THE ARE HEAVEN!!

"and he will enjoy that breath
more than any he has taken
in his entire life.
and her life's work is more than a flash drive.

'my life's work,' she says, 'is the impact that this has.
this is not about what i produce.  it is all about what others receive.'"

**i suggest listening to all at once***
