Chocolate and Tea I can do at work.
Wine? The boss might not like that too much.
Well, I think YOU win today for BEST POST EVER!
I’ll drink to that!
Those Ferro Rocher candies are mighty tasty. And champagne! And we drink tea by the gallon, all day every day, no sugar.
one of our cats, Siamese, is Champagne and Mink color.
Then WAIT and have a glass of wine after you get home!!!!!

There’s a brand of chocolate called Keiko. It’s a German brand posing as an oriental co. to appear Eastern and wise and all that nonsense, sort of like when Biden had his eyelids surgically pulled sideways to appear sage. One of their lines is called the Green Kiss. They have many products in that brand, including little squares, mignonettes, that are made with chocolate and green tea. They are so good, so different. They might be an ideal combination with some dessert wine - maybe a Moscato or a Riesling? I don’t know, I haven’t tried.
Here’s a good combination - Choxie truffles (Target’s brand) with a tawny port. So nice after dinner.

Yes! Another vote for my Chocolate addiction :)
My recipe for brain power....Lindt 85% dark chocolate, a decent bottle of red and a some nice soothing tea the following morning. Ahh, I feel smarter already.
I’m still experimenting with steak, beer and coffee. I’ll let you know the results in a few more years.
Wine and tea? Can't say. Chocolate? Clearly, not.
Neat! Interestingly enough, this year I wound up with a habit of going to the library and getting a hot chocolate to do some last-minute review just before my exams, and now I feel like it might have been worth it!
However, I don’t do tea, and I’m still just a bit too young to be able to test out the wine part =P
Well, when you are, always remember: in moderation.
No matter how smart a person is, they will act like a dummy when drunk. ;)
Depends on whether you're married to an intelligent woman.
Mine speaks three languages.
Sometimes I don't know if whe's telling me she loves me or is cursing the day I was born. ;^)
