'Why We Fight'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. 2011? Room for improvement. Srsly.
My cousin in SF sent me Tcho chocolates for Christmas. I'd never heard of them. Dark chocolate, four flavors -- chocolatey, nutty, fruity, and citrus. They came with instructions, wtf? One is supposed to eat savor them in order. Again, wtf?
I like chocolate. I like dark chocolate even more. I do not like any of the Tcho chocolates.
I'm going to take them in to work tomorrow, see if anyone likes any of them.
They did come in a nice box, though. I'll keep that, anyway.
Oh, I know those! I love the fruity one. But I've never really done the tasting in order thing.
I do not like any of the Tcho chocolates.
I think their chocolates are kind of an acquired taste. OTOH, their hot chocolate (which you can get from their factory tasting room in SF) is amazing.
I don't want instructions with my food! Especially chocolate. It should just be EAT and NOM.
I want to take you to the "blind" eating in LA, Amy.. Something that's too complicated for, you know, food. Or molecular gastronomy. We got lots of it here.
Blind eating? That sounds frightening.
Nah, don't be afraid of the dark.
Eating in the dark (I actually did it blindfolded, because it was a special event) is fascinating.
Really, 2011, you can go. Turns out that one day when I was out they handed out bonus checks - small ones, but still. Mine was left in my office ... but I never saw it. Really. I'm OVER 2011.
Oh, Todd, that is hugely suck!
Giftee, your package will be going out today. I hope it gets there in time for Christmas, but it will surely be before the end of the year.
