[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yay, Fay! Big cities always seem to be very Americanized to me. When I was in Singapore they had all the usual. In fact, they have taken on so much importance it's funny. I asked at the concierge's desk how to find a particular place and the lady behind the desk, with a totally straight face, told me to go out the doors, turn left and look for a Very Important Landmark--McDonald's! My BF and I nearly ran out of the lobby in tears, we were laughing so hard and we didn't want to offend the nice lady.
ETA: capital letters, her emphasis.
Yay extremely long birthdays! Yay Bangkok!
In conclusion, gronk.
Wow. Thanks to WikiHow, I now know How to Taste Dark Chocolate
Handy tips like:
Mute all kinds of background noise, such as television, music, a crying baby, etc. Being able to concentrate as intently as possible will facilitate flavor detection.
It's nice to know crying babies have mute buttons.
Feel better ND. Doesn't your body understand you don't have time to be sick?
Happy Fay Day again. Your birthday morning in my time zone. Bangkok sounds promising. Yay!
I'm still in bed. Laptops rock.
From Daniel's link:
Make sure that the piece of chocolate is large enough to accommodate full evolution of the flavor profile. A piece too small may not allow you to detect every subtle nuance as the chocolate slowly melts.
Only LARGE pieces of dark chocolate. I thought so.
How did we ever live without the right size piece for our chocolate evolution?
Umm...I have a rash around my neck and under my arms, and am itchy in a few places I haven't checked yet (head, back, etc.). Can't find my benedryl. I've got some benedry anti-itch cream, should I try that first?
What is it? What should I do? It's making me crazy.
Not an expert, but is it heat rash?
What shirt did you wear yesterday, vw? Was it new? Did you switch laundry detergent in the move? Try the cream first to see if it helps.
