Horlicks is more like Carnation Malted. I'm not sure what's in Ovaltine, except it tastes like crap. I do hate it.

Happy Birthday, kat p!

How can you hate the Ovaltine? Nestle Quick. Now that stuff is heinous. But Ovaltine is the bomb-diggity.

I grew up with Ovaltine as the alternative to Milo. That's so no contest.

We went out for Indian. I had not had any for awhile. I think it was intense food taste day. but my lemon bar reciepe is a bit too sweet for me. Almond chocolate truffles - intense. eggnog ice cream - nice. Now I want to try horlicks.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
My friend's dad calls it "hostitchky" (sp?). Online, it's variously called "hoska" "houska" or "vanocka". It's a braided fruit bread. I've never found raised breads easy to make but this one is even harder for me since I've never tasted it as made by a Czech or Czech-American. So I'm not sure exactly what I'm going for. I was told by my friend's dad that the last batch I made was spot on, but I'm thinking he might have been salving my ego.
Here's a Radio Prague report (presumably by a non-Czech) on his experience making vanocka:

Oooh. That vanocka looks delicious. Good with some Ovaltine.
So ita, are you saying that you'd choose Milo over Ovaltine? Cause that there's just crazy talk.

Tonight's Mile High was definitely Stab The Woobie In The Heart Night on BBC America. Though I think, from the trailer for next week, that at least one woobie may see some relief. Not possible for the other one, I fear.

But Milo is so grainy and wrong. And green. Oh lord, the green package. . .with the weird athletes and the brown lettering.
I just remember taking a bus trip from Santiago to Vina del Mar and it was freezing. We got off at the bus station in Vina del Mar and there was this guy selling "cafe" and cheese sandwiches. And we bought two. And then when we got the two steaming cups, I took a long, deep drink. . .and it was Milo. And the guy's like "Well, no one would buy anything from me if I was selling sandwiches and Milo." Too true. Too true.
