About 45 seconds ago, I opened a Extra Special Dark Chocolate Lindt Truffle. I'd been holding it wrapped up in the tin paper in my hand for a few minutes, getting it just a little bit warm so the middle part of the truffle was liquified. Then, a quick unwrap and a pop in the mouth, and Ahhhh, it was delicious!!! I wish each of you were here to partake of my hefty bag of chocolates (don't worry I have some milk chocolate and even a white chocolate one for you, Mom!) (Sorry Dad, I don't have any sugar and fat free ones....can you splurge just for a day?)
Eating my Truffle reminded me of one of Seth's quazi-roommates, Sasha. Sasha was a quazi-roommate because he wasn't really paying rent...he was just staying on the couch for a few weeks. Sasha is from russia, and was dating our friend Natalia at the time (they're now married and have a little baby). Anyway, after Sashas extended stay and entertaining light stick dancing and "home improvement help" (he always told us we needed to fix a table, and that all we needed was "Too SKRoooz. Juz TOO SKRooz." (two screws)) he left a big box of truffles for us as a thank you gift. Before he left, he showed us the perfect way to eat a truffle (as described above....hold in your hand for a few minutes, just until liquified). While we tried many variations in order to speed up the time (i just can't wait that long with a wrapped up chocolate in my hand) this is the tried and true "Russian way". :)
Come to DC and Visit me and I'll share my stash!!!

I have been eating so well lately and now you have me wanting chocolate! since I can't come to DC I am going to have to settle for some frozen chocolate chips!
I desire to partake of this chocolate.
Not fair, Price.
NOT FAIR.
