So Monica dis­cov­ered this new product recently: Sahale snacks. They have a small line of glazed nuts, but their pop­ular product (at least, it’s pop­ular in our apart­ment) are the nut blends. In addi­tion to being all nat­ural (no preser­v­a­tives, no refined sugar, no arti­fi­cial fla­vors) the nut blends have very strange and won­derful flavor com­bi­na­tions. They have six blends, each fea­turing a dif­ferent nut. My per­sonal favorite (at the moment) is the Dauphine blend: wal­nuts mixed with banana chips, coconut, ginger, blue­ber­ries, lavendar, and white pepper. See? Very inter­esting com­bi­na­tion. Monica’s favorite seems to be the Val­dosta: pecans with cran­ber­ries, black pepper, and lemon zest. That might be my second favorite. It is also the most simple com­bi­na­tion. Some of the snacks com­bine quite a few dif­ferent ingre­di­ents and spices.

Found online: The National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan. I am really impressed by the web­site. They have won­derful typog­raphy and beau­tiful graphics, par­tic­u­larly in their exhibit pages. There is also a won­derful Flash-based inter­face for exam­ining some of their cal­lig­raphy. I would love to be a graphic designer for a museum. Great content!
