Chocolate fixes everything

April 25, 2006

We had an interesting experience in Vegas last week. For starters, I must emphasize how utterly horrendous our previous trips to the city were. I swore on the souls of my ancestors that I would never return. So, when Kevin explained that Vegas was the logical depot between San Luis Obispo, CA and Williams, AZ, I had to sacrifice the everloving souls of my family and suck it up.

Now, Kevin is an optimist. He's willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Me? Yeh. No. So, we went to Vegas together, but we might have been running in parallel universes. First thing when we get to the hotel, Mr. Positive Thinking gets handed a $2000 penthouse suite for the evening. (I stick a dollar in a slot machine which turns out to be broken.) He finagles discount after discount, based solely on his charming personality. (I walk into Madame Tussaud's and bring with me the static electricity of the entire city of Las Vegas. This was one of those instances where I touch WAX and get shocked.) And the list goes on. He is utterly charmed. I am utterly doomed.

Until...

...with my two little eyes, I spy...the Vosges store.

Alert, and ready to maim anyone who tries to take my chocolate.

Mulling over the subleties of the exotic blend.

Letting the chocolate seep into my mouth pores. And pseudo-acknowledging a world exists outside the chocolate.

Chocolate is the Universes' way of saying I love you.

Have you been to Jin Patisserie in Venice? I'm not sure that they're on the level of Vosges, but the truffles there are still exquisite. And they have lovely cakes and afternoon tea and other fun things.

Funny, during my quick reading, I saw pictures (I love them :) and the word "Vosges".

Vosges is the name of a french area ... not especially known for their chocolat (even if they have some chocolate specialities) but their milk and the pure air are reputed.

I love chocolate and fruit paste ...
Tssst ... tomorrow, I'll go to purchase some.
You're the devil ... :)
