Chocolate!

[beige_alert]

I stopped by Mayfair Mall after work. I bought a book at Barnes and Noble and then wandered around a bit. I think the gift-buying season is already started, as far as the retailers are concerned. On a whim I stopped in Godiva Chocolatier. I don’t usually shop in such places, and it is an interesting experience. The woman working there was very helpful and was well-armed with delightful-sounding descriptions of the goods and lots of suggestions. Everything there is just beautiful, of course, and she carefully packed my selections in a fancy box which she tied up with string and placed in a bag with packing paper crumpled just so. I’m more used to buying generic junk in logo-encrusted packages and then trying to get a harried employee to take my money, and this was just a delightful exercise. An expensive one, to be sure, but nice.

I’ve tried one piece thus far. Yum! Wonderful! Sure, each tiny nibble is about fifty cents, but worth it. I bought a selection of fruit-containing chocolates and I’m going to have a very nice few days eating them, I can tell. I suppose they’d go well with some chocolate cherry wine.

Ha! Mention chocolate and Debbie shows up. Would you be interested in trying the chocolate cherry wine? I understand we are both going to be in Ohio in a few weeks....

OH I am so tempted, but I have such a low alcohol tolerance; it makes me fall asleep. And I hope to get as little sleep as possible at OVFF! But thanks so much for offering.

(though if you *already* planning to BRING the wine and were willing to let me try a VERY LITTLE bit, I'd be most grateful...)

One glass is all it takes to leave me both drowsy and unsure exactly which way is up, which isn't the state I want to be in, either. I don't doubt that I can find some other people to share with, though, so I'll bring a bottle. Since it's a Wisconsin product that's not, as far as I know, available outside the USA, I figured I should offer some.

Cherry isn't my favorite fruit flavor, but I'd still like to give this stuff a try.

I'll save some for you
