You’re a very wonderful mate, you know that?

This makes my whole day, and even week, worthwhile. *glows*

The darkest chocolate I've had up to this point has been an 88% bar that I bought in Detroit this past weekend with my sweetie and Posi. Of course, I had to try that one right away, and it was really good! It was actually sweeter than some slightly less dark chocolate I'd had in the past; it melted really nicely and the sweetness came pleasantly out after it had been in my mouth for a minute or so.

Today, my team lead and I tried the other bar I picked up from Eastern Market in Detroit. It's the brand that echocolates.com carries; single source, rain forest friendly, Ecuadorian beans. And of course, since it was the first time I'd ever seen chocolate that dark for sale, I bought a bar of pure cocoa bean goodness; one-hundred percent dark.

I opened up the box, freed one end of the richly brown bar from it's silver wrapper, broke off one of the little squares and settled on to my tongue to melt. There are some really amazing flavors in this stuff. It's deeply earthy, maybe a little but nutty, and very, very dark. I have to say that it's just a little bit too much for me. I can't quite get past the bitterness of it to enjoy the other flavors. You can't get around the fact that, on top of all the other flavours in it, it's really harsh.

I may try some more some time, probably a little less than I had this time. It might be a little more manageable in smaller doses. However, since there's a lot more here than I'm likely going to get through, I think I'll bring it with to Cap on Saturday in case anyone there would like to try some.

Oh, did I mention that wooisme and I are going to drive by and stop in to Capricon briefly on Saturday night just to say hi to a few people we haven't seen in too long? We're doing a few other things down in the city too (which currently escape the puppy's brain) so that should be a fun trip. I like being on the road with my sweetie, though I wish it was a bit longer trip and to somewhere we haven't been to very often. That always makes driving feel less like a chore and more like an adventure.

*grumps* I want to go home now.

I've had my router forwarding port 80 traffic to an internal IP address of x.x.x.11, yet my Apacher server's virtual hosts have been listening on x.x.x.12. I hadn't noticed because I had the pages cached on my browser. I figured it out in about two minutes once I actually tried to do something silly like update one of the virtual hosts.

*sigh* I wonder how long that's been going on. Probably since my experiment with running IIS on Alphawolf.
