Oh Springtime...

Alright I'm a little behind as per usual.  It always seems like springtime brings more daylight and well, it also brings more stuff to do.
In the next week, I'll have my Prague adventures typed and posted with pictures and some specific restaurant reviews.
Hopefully, I'll also have reviewed two restaurants from this weekend in Rome and typed up a couple of recipes from the last few weeks.
For now, I'll leave you with a laugh.  CAMEL BALLS.

I have no idea who created these, no concept of how they got through a marketing meeting... -.- I
haven't a clue as to who thought these were remotely appropriate but here we are with gumballs that are shaped like camel balls with special packaging: the rear end of a camel, balls plainly visible on his backside. Oh and the gum has a liquid, sour center too.  Sooo there's that.  I tried them, well, all of my coworkers and I did for a laugh.
It was a little hard to get past the brown exterior, but in the end it wasn't that bad. The gum was sour and had a good consistency. Don't focus too much on the interior, because that was a little off putting as well.
It certainly wasn't bad for gum, but I'm thinking that I'll stick to one of the more ordinary chewing gums for future.

Ten reasons Chocolate makes a better boyfriend

Valentine's Day is here yet again... Once a year all of the single people get reminded that they have no significant other, no missing piece, no... well, I think you get the picture (especially if you're single... like me). For those of you with soulmates, your other half, ecc... Congrats!
Hahahaha Ok, I acknowledge, I'm starting to sound bitter. But I'm always single on Valentine's Day.

But I kind of think that's ok.

Chocolate makes a WAYYYY better boyfriend than an actual boyfriend.

1. Chocolate never says No... No mouth. No arguing. You will always win. 
2. It is completely replaceable... When you devour Chocolate, just go to the store and replace. 
3. And you can get any flavor, any time you want. Dark, White, Caramel, Milk, Coffee... 
4. You can totally pick quantity over quality. If you want alot of Chocolate, no problem. You can get hershey kisses for your bite sized treats, or nutella for a rich spread, or twix for a little crunch or m&m's for some color on a rainy day. It's not considered cheating to have multiple pieces of Chocolate lying around waiting for just the right moment. 
5. Watching your figure? You can always go for Quality over quantity. Go for that piece of rich dark Chocolate, that Perugina, that Godiva truffle to die for. Savor the flavor, the sweet complexity of sensations in your mouth. 
6. Chocolate will always melt for you. A little heat and that Chocolate is history. 
7. Chocolate will never tell you that you're getting fat. I repeat, no mouth, no contest. 
8. Chocolate will never leave you. It has no legs. It cannot escape. It will stay with you, until you make it disappear. No one will question you about said missing Chocolate. 
9. Everyone loves Chocolate! Even if it's just a little bit, or secretly, I'm convinced EVERYONE (of importance) loves Chocolate. There will be no parents telling you Chocolate is not good enough for you; No best friends scoffing and wondering what you're doing with said Chocolate. Who can resist a little sweet Chocolate?
10. Chocolate will always make you smile and take away some of your tears. Try to resist its particular charms and you will find you can't. It will always bring at least a small smile to your face. 

So on this Valentine's Day let's toast to Chocolate and all its delicious goodness. 

And now, I think I'll go find some chocolate to savor.
