Today I found a new café with free wireless internet close to my new place. It’s an Italian style coffee house; Cafe Vergnano 1882. And it has hot chocolate so good I may never come home. It's not so much hot chocolate as it is hot chocolate pudding in a cup. Super duper creamy. About 4000 calories. You can almost stand a spoon up in it. Don't see how I can live without it. I'm already planning on devoting a great deal of time to this luscious liquid. I'm not kidding.
This is the machine that produces the cup of perfection. Can you tell how rich is? I may be crazy but I think I'm in love with a hot chocolate machine. I’m drinking a cup of it while I’m writing this and my love is overwhelming me. I guess I'm having a chocolate passion moment. Chocolate sex in a cup. Who needs a man? I could just come here every day and drink a cup of heaven.
Whew, ok, I finished it. Feeling more normal now. I can see I’m going to have to ration myself or I'll find myself here every day, indulging in my new love. Then I’ll gain a ton of weight. I must be strong, decide how much is too much. I see now that they also offer a version of this scrumptious hot chocolate with milk. Maybe I can allow myself that on a daily basis and only give in to the decadently rich version once a week? But life is short and you never know what’s around the bend. I would hate to be on my death bed lamenting that I had not allowed myself more of my true love.
Perhaps the only thing that will deter me is the price. It’s $4.68 US for this heavenly concoction. But now that I think of it, nope, that won’t deter me. I can buy a falafel for 52 cents so that’s just over 5 dollars for dinner. Not bad. Doable for a girl on a budget.
I think the thing to do is to give into temptation and see where this torrid affair takes me. Maybe I can buy one of these machines and continue the affair at home. Otherwise I may never come home….

Anyway enjoy once in awhile. Please note I said once in awhile. I want you to fit into the seat on the plane when you come home. Lol. Love you. Mom
HAVE A CUP OF CHOCOLATE FOR ME. Love you. Dad
Okay, listen up Missy. This gives me only two options-- either an Omani embargo of chocolate products, possibly leading to WWIII, OR, I will have to take up a collection to buy you a fancy machine. ALL, so you will come home one day. Miss you! (LOVE the blog)... D
That chocolate looks divine. Please enjoy, (remember to enjoy only enough not to feel guilty, cause guilt is not a tasty treat!)and let yourself indulge once in a while. You are missed, so you would be wise to invest in the machine and bring the chocolate back to your friends and family. Love you! -Dory
S-s-s-usan! Hmmm...doesn't have the same ring to it.
