San Churro

I gravitated towards Borders in Melbourne Central one afternoon and spied this book that was about the Top 5 of anything in the city. The book covered everything from cuisine, recreation (aside from the usual nature tripping that seems like the ONLY thing to do when down under), bars, etc. If I had come across the book before we even left, I would have ear marked the things I wanted to do. Anyway, Chocolateria San Churro is one of the top 5 dessert places to eat in Victoria. For a pre-dinner snack, we had churros and hot chocolate. I loved the churros because it wasn't that oily. The hot chocolate could have been better if it was served hotter and more thick like the ones they have at Dulcinea, which tastes like chocolate icing. Aside from churros, they also have all sorts of decadent sweets like pralines, powdered chocolate, and other chocolate based items.

Special thanks to Speedy G for the exquisite gourmet delights from Belgium! He said the chocolate is home made and is from his brother in law's home town somewhere in Belgium. Pretty neat! I was stupefied at the amount of chocolate inside the box. Layers upon layers of dark chocolate pralines! Some filled with nuts, others with ganache, liquor, and laden with sinful amounts of white chocolate. I swear I'll turn diabetic soon. He also gave a large bottle of Foie Gras (it's soo not pate!) which looks so much better compared to the chunky ones I got in Colette two years ago. I'm waiting for what I had for dinner to melt so I can have some bread toasted and slather Warren Buffet-generous amounts on it and chomp it while I watch the American Idol marathon on Star.

Someone's been dipping their hands into my Frazer stash. Now there are only two pieces left.. errr... make that one.

When you..

- wish someone died of spontaneous human combustion - wish that time would stop so you could catch up on some work (but in reality, you want more time to sleep) - wish the bad man would go away - wish it would make it stop - want to feel good after a long day - when chewing something helluva sweet will take away all the stress in life - when chocolate, caramel, nuts, and nougat makes you forget the everyday-feels-like-a-Monday feeling
