Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

(Never felt well enough to go out. Resting. Trying to get a bit more sleep.)

1. When the antihstamines just aren't doing the trick and I'm getting tired of having to breathe through my mouth, I am all the more grateful for wasabi peas. (Thank you, anniemal.) Despite the "slightly spicy" description on the packaging, these are actually all over the map with regard to intensity. One pea merely sweet, the next ear-popping, and the one after that in between.

2. Immediately after eating a fair number of wasabi peas, malta tastes very different from how it usually does. A much lighter flavour with an almost citrus-y taste. In fact, it tastes nothing at all like malta. I wonder how long it takes for my taste buds to recover from the wasabi.
