[Sca-cooks] Re: chocolate - OT, OOP

[Sue Clemenger]

My co-worker, Steve, and I sometimes split a tiny little bar of 
super-dark chocolate at work.  His personal recommendation is to take a 
bit of the chocolate, moosh it up in your mouth, take a nice sip of some 
good bourbon, and enjoy.  Especially while listening to YoYo Ma doing 
Bach cello concerti on the CD player...
--maire, thinking of taking some chocolate and bourbon to the Rock this 
weekend.....
