No goose eggs on hand, golden or otherwise. But the halva was very good. I gained a taste for it when I received a Universal Yums box of Turkish snacks. One of the snack foods in that box was a log of halva, but it wasn't chocolate.
Here's some chocolate halva I made two months ago. I posted this pic on Facebook and one of my cousins thought it looked like I put gold leaf in it. What you see here is tahini that didn't get mixed in all the way. The light hit it just so.
I have some fresh beans but I don't use them. You have to soak them before cooking, and that takes too long for me. I'm not what you'd call a patient woman.
