in search of...

I was craving chocolate. Good chocolate, specifically truffles. And I had a problem. I wanted some truffles from La Maison du Chocolat. But since their closest store is approximately 2,600 miles away, on 5 Av in Manhattan, it was out of the question. So then, I thought I'd get Neuhaus, but then I remembered that stupid Neiman-Marcus had shut down the Neuhaus boutique in their Epicure area. And then.... ::: ding! ::: idea!!! I should try Teuscher! Never had it before, and people rave about it. So I got me some of their champagne truffles. BLECH! Phooey! Too sugary sweet! Weird mouthfeel! BLECH! What a waste of money.

And so, after I post this blog entry, I'm ordering some truffles online from La Maison du Chocolat. Mmmmm mmmm mmmm....
