That's why Coffee Crisp and Kit Kat "bites" are such a revelation for me. They're balls of candy -- like chocolate-covered peanuts or raisins -- except they're formulated like Coffee Crisp and Kit Kat. The ball versions taste almost like the real thing.

A nice app for assembling grocery lists is available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The app looks nice and is simple to use. Best feature: there's a long list of built-in suggestions, so if you can't quite remember specifics, the app might come up with it for you. It keeps old lists, stores favourites. The cost is $4.99 at Apple's iTunes store.

The can split open in a nice clean line down the side and splattered frozen junks of Diet Coke within, thank goodness, a relatively confined area of the freezer. But it still took a while to clean.
