Japani Maroonda

So dad comes back from a very major business trip after meeting with
clients from all over the world. As usual, he comes back with a
plethora of gifts- Egyptian leather stuff, baklava (yum!), dried
fruits and nuts from Iran, Belgian chocolate, a pair of nikes :-p a
paperweight, and this very elegant looking box with stuff in Japanese
written on it.
Apparently, its some kind of Japanese sweet- so all three of us with
our khandaani sweettooths became QUITE excited. After ooh-ing and aah-
ing at the very Japanese paper box sns wrapping we very carefully
unwrapped one piece of our prize...

... And it turned out to be maroonda. Maroonda and peanuts. (for the
less desi among us, maroonda is a very typical desi snack made with
molasses and toasted rice. Kinda like rice krispies. Snap, crackle,
pop, baby) yup. We got all excited over maroonda. Me and my mother
fought over- with me spilling the nuts while she locked up the
chocolate in her paise wali almari- maroonda. Maroonda! Yay.
