Hot Chocolate

I went to the Chocolate bar with uki. Lin had mentioned it a week ago. On her way home from the movies she had run across the shop and stopped in for hot chocolate. She called immediately to recommend it. The chocolate was thick, but not quite spicy enough.

K. had us taste her recipe on the way back home. She served us passion fruit hot chocolate. We waited while it was prepared. It was good, but a little too creamy, and in the transition between the immediate chocolate taste and the passion fruit finish, there was the barest hint of sourness. She's reconfiguring the recipe.

Early spring 1998, with a week between jobs, I went to Paris. Just before leaving New York, a friend told me to go to Café Angelina. Order the mont-blanc, he told me. And the hot chocolate. The chocolate was thick, served in a porcelain cup. A pot held the excess chocolate. You could stand a spoon in it.

One of my favorite songs is "You Sexy Thing." I believe in miracles. Posted by eku at February 8, 2004 9:31 PM
