More Bits

1) GRILLED garlic scapes are insane! INSANE! It took away the garlic hotness, but left a strong garlicy roasty charcoal smell which permeated everything. We loved it and kept smelling the scapes over and over. The texture softened a good amount. Some parts of the scapes (the lower stalks) were too stringy to bite into so we just gnawed on them, sort of like sugarcane. Highly recommended!

2) Chocolate Tasting Part One went very well! As soon as Part Deux with a whole new crew happens, we'll tabulate all the scores and i'll post the verdicts on these twelve bars. Some of the comments were hilarious!

3) I love Chapterhouse Cafe in Philadelphia! I just finished an annoying questionnaire for work that was taking me weeks, in under 45 minutes. Don't get the Thai style iced tea, though. It's not that great. Stick to the coffee, brewed teas and sodas.

4) OMG i wish someone stocked all the Tofutti Cutie flavors. KEY LIME PIE? COFFEE? STRAWBERRY WAVE? I love the Mint Chocolate Chip ones, but sure wish i could try the others.

5) I finally got into Battlestar Galactica after years of be whining and begging me to watch the series. We're watching 2-3 episodes per night!

6) Pantryness. Since the move, we've been using a white bookshelf and another white cabinet thing -- which weren't cutting it on the attractiveness nor the functionality levels. We did a lot of math and finally chose pieces from the EFFEKTIV system at Ikea. Now we just need to paint the dining room so we can install the pantry! (Oh, and also get rid of crap!)
