Mutant candidate

Posted by Collene

I just got done voting. And man, what a hard decision in so many ways. But after a month or so of much soul searching and serious thought, Romney it is.

PSYCH!

I’m just joshing, of course. But the past couple days were definitely spent thinking, why the hell can’t Hillary and Obama just combine and become one uber-candidate? I want Hillama. Or Clintama. Which sounds like a sexual organ or heart medication, but that’s neither here or there. Actually, I really do feel fortunate just to have two candidates worth getting excited over, who are not Bush, and that are seemingly willing and able to set some positive change in motion.
Mutant candidate in ‘08!

the real deal

Posted by LD

I drank hot chocolate today for $6….yes, that’s right, you heard me $6. Actually, it was $6.56 with the tax and then I gave the guy a dollar tip. I know, crazy right? And some of you have heard me whine about money. After Pilates class today I decided to treat myself to a hot chocolate from none other than Hot Chocolate in Bucktown, which is a stone’s throw away from the Pilates studio.

I have to say it was some of the best damn hot chocolate I have ever tasted. It’s the real stuff. There’s several different kinds you can order. I chose their most popular, mostly milk chocolate, with some dark chocolate and a hint of caramel.

It was dreamy, it was creamy. It swirled in my head and got to the very core of my endorphins and made them sing throughout my body. And it was topped off with a homemade marshmallow. It reminded me of the hot chocolate you get in Paris….real, drinking chocolate…not for the faint of heart…a sweet-tooth lovers dream come true.

So I didn’t mind paying the $7.56. It was well worth-it. And I know I’m not going to indulge it that everyday. I’ve gotten plenty of $3.50 coffee drinks that totally suck (sorry, but most have been from Starbucks…..I had hopes for the sugar-free mocha, but no dice!)

Hot Chocolate is located at 1747 N. Damen in Chicago.

Go there for breakfast. Go there for lunch. Go there for dinner. Go there and drink hot chocolate.

Plus, the warm donuts are amazing.
