Chocolate Birthday
Sunday, May 9th, 2010#26: Do something fun for my 20th birthday.

So, my 20th birthday was actually back in February. I thought my birthday this year was a good one, a girl’s only Chocolate Party! I made chocolate fondue with many different things to dip, from fruit, to pretzels, to crackers and I don’t remember what! That was followed by some different flavored homemade chocolate fudge that was actually a last minute experiment and it might’ve been a bit overcooked, but the orange flavor was actually quite popular! I also had mint, almond, and plain fudge.
By this point, guests were pretty filled with sugar, but I wanted to make them sick, so we nibbled on different types of fine dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is my favorite. Milk chocolate is good. But is bland and tends to make me feel like I’m eating a mouthful of chocolate chips which certainly has it’s time and place, but I much prefer a small morsel of bitter dark chocolate that is cool on your tongue and takes forever to melt, making the pleasure only last longer. Oh, it makes me sigh and smile just thinking about it.
Well, after that, we sat there in chocolate comas feeling slightly ill and chatted while watching 10 Things I Hate About You. Great chick flick. Heath Ledger is a hunk, and someone once told me I look like Julia Stiles. I don’t see it at all. But whatever. In the end, I really enjoyed my birthday. Apparently so much so, that I didn’t even take pictures of my apartment’s dining table filled with chocolate things. But I think this was one of those occasions that I feel didn’t need photos. I have vivid and fond memories of that night. Thank you to my friends who enjoyed the chocolatey blissful belly ache with me.
