    Default Is there anything better?

    I stopped at the local german store (http://www.germandeli.com/) on the way to work, and picked up some chocolate with hazelnuts (the Euros do chocolate better than we could dream of). I am taking a bite, then a sip of coffee. Those two taste just do something for me. The warm, rich coffee (we have good stuff in the client lounge) melting the sweet chocolate- it is almost better than bacon.

    Sweet washed down with coffee seems to be a winning combo. But I don't know if euro chocolate is better. It is different though.

    We have a Starbucks machine. That statement may cause an uproar here, but it is 1000% better than the stuff in the employee lounge

    Yeah, we do have good chocolatiers here, but their everyday chocolate bars are better than ours

    The frying pan is also 1000% better than the fire ... we take your point.
    Be there or be square. Only I can do both!
    I've got a cat named Beefeater and a dog named Beefeater, and two goldfish called Beefeater and Beefeater. There's Beefeater my hamster and Beefeater my horse, and my piglet, known as Beefeater of course.

    That bunny stuff is probably cocoa flavored palm oil.
    El Ray makes an excellent milk chocolate. Single origin and 40% cocoa solids.
