champagne and chocolate (but not these two together!)

2008.05.05
never tried this before, hope it's good!

yes, i know it sounds odd but it is very good. they also have a really good white chocolate and kalamata olive bar and a milk chocolate (?) curry and coconut bar. Very yummy.

One of those days when I almost forgot to take a picture. I couldn't find much around my room that I wanted to take a picture of.

The bottle of champagne I randomly bought because it was on sale at Cost Plus World Market (one of my favorite stores). I love champagne but don't really know much about it. I was lucky enough once to try some Dom Perignon that my brother brought home from a friend's party (his friend had gotten it from work for some reason, talk about a generous company) and it was so wonderful! I forgot what the vintage was on it and sadly my Mom threw out the bottle when I told her I wanted to keep it. Oh well. Anyway, I bought the champagne as part of the incentive of finishing my new diet/exercise program. I won't drink it until I finish and I have the body I want! : )

Ok. I know that chocolate sounds weird. I mean, applewood smoked bacon, alder wood smoked salt and milk chocolate? But it actually is really good! I think so, anyway. It's basically just that salty/sweet combo with a hint of bacon flavor. Maybe I like it because I love it when the maple syrup and bacon mix on my plate - tastes so yummy. I'm glad I liked it because it will be the only chocolate I have in a while. I really like Vosges chocolates. Check out their website, they have some really interesting flavors.

jabichi applewood smoked bacon, alder wood smoked salt and milk chocolate? Are you sure that's a good idea? I think than you do not need diet because you looks great. In Spain we like the clean flavors, near the better land, virgin olive oil, wine, some tomatoes, Iberian ham, ... four ingredients who can take you to the sky. ... I invite you any day of these

oldbabe One glass of champagne and I'm out. Must be the bubbles! And chocolate, I can eat with anything...even bacon or champagne! (I love it when the syrup and bacon mix on my plate too.)

Diet? - I don't believe in them ;-)

LostAspen Hmmm....bacon chocolate... I bet my brothers would like it. And kalamata olive and while chocolate? I dunno, that sounds pretty weird! I like champagne okay, although my first taste will always taint my memory of it--it was a really cheap blush, and smell/tasted like a wet dog! :-P
