We actually made it out to Vosges! Yaaay! We got ice cream and Lina and I both bought boxes of truffles. She got the 9 pc. dark chocolate and I got the 16 pc. exotic to take to the office and (sort of) share with my coworkers. I'd tried all of the dark chocolate flavors in my box already but hadn't tried any of their milk chocolate flavors so I told my coworkers that those were off-limits unless there's a duplicate. I'm such a greedy bitch :)

The truffle in the foreground of my photo is the Viola, the first one I tried out of this box. The one in the back is the Gianduja which is what VV had. I'm wary of letting him eat these since the first time I gave him a truffle (Red Fire) he popped the whole thing into his mouth, chewed on it for a second and then ran over to the sink to spit it out I was like wtf that chocolate costs more than you do and didn't let him have any more. Anyway, the Gianduja was "safe" since it was a more user-friendly hazelnut praline (as opposed to cinnamon/chili powder).

I know the bizarre flavors seem like some kind of a gimmick (chili fennel pollen vinegar wha?) but they aren't I swear. The ganache is good stuff and the "weird" flavors are so incredibly subtle and are just "there" enough to keep the chocolate interesting. Chocolate by itself tends to bore me after a while, but not Vosges truffles. I have yet to find a more accessible equivalent here in Southern California; I don't think Vosges truffles are available in-store anywhere around here and the idea of ordering something so perishable online seems kind of...iffy to me? I may give in at some point, though. They need to open a store in LA or Orange County!

Women's restroom smells like squash-scented air freshener. Which I happen to really like. I have no idea what's producing that fragrance but I kind of want to find out so I can get my hands on some?

Every time Rumi wears anything Alexander Wang she gets tons of comments from people complimenting her on her awesome wang and it makes me giggle.

Feel free to tell me to grow up. It's good advice that I should probably follow!

Weather is awesomely hot but I'm stuck in this freezing office building. Makes me angry/sad. Mostly sad.
