Chocolate and Coffee


Two great tastes that taste great together! I think that was originally something to do with peanut butter, possibly a Reece’s ad. But chocolate and coffee are the bomb. You’ve got the sweet and the bitter, both cleansing the palate for the next taste of the other. You’ve got caffeine to boost your system, and phenylethylamine to put a smile on your face. Chocolate will make you live longer and love better. Coffee has its health benefits, too. You’ve got a pot brewing right now, and a stash of Special Dark in the bottom desk drawer that the kids haven’t found yet. Life is good.

Instant Laser Coffee. I don’t know how safe this is, but it looks cool!

More good news: Coffee contains a good amount of dietary fiber! (Thanks, Ed!)

Even vegans can enjoy the benefits of chocolate!

The Java Wand filters your coffee while you sip! Handy if you just want to make one cup of coffee in a hurry, but still, sipping hot drinks through a straw is not the safest way to go, especially if you are in a hurry! (via the AV Club)

Hale McKay has a conversation with his coffee.

Mister Slippy wrote a coffee poem.

I was surprised my score was so low. But then again, I don't grind my own beans, and I'm not too picky about brand names, so that may explain it.

Starbucking. This guy wants to visit every Starbucks in the world, and made a movie about it. They build them faster than he can visit!

A Starbucks Barista really really hates her job. Or maybe just hates people. Anyway, this post sparked a lot of comments. And I certainly didn’t know there was a Starbucks Gossip blog! (via On the Other Foot)

THE NEW JOB

A man joined a big Multi National Company as a trainee.....

On his first day, he dialed the kitchen and shouted into the phone "Get me a cup of coffee, quickly!"

The voice from the other side responded "You fool, you've dialed the wrong extension! Do you know whom you're talking to?"

"No" replied the trainee..

"It's the Managing Director of the company, you idiot!"

The trainee shouted back "And do you know whom YOU are talking to, you IDIOT?"

"No!" replied the Managing Director angrily.

"Thank God....!!" replied the trainee and put down the phone.

Chocolate Ice Cream

A man approaches an ice cream van and asks, "I'd like two scoops of chocolate ice cream, please."

The girl behind the counter replied, "I'm very sorry, sir, but our delivery didn't come this morning. We're out of chocolate."

"In that case," the man continued, "I'll have two scoops of chocolate ice cream."

"You don't understand, sir," the girl says. "We have no chocolate."

"Then just give me some chocolate," he insists.

Getting angrier by the second, the girl asked, "Sir, will you spell 'van,' as in 'vanilla?'"

The man spells, "V A N."

"Now spell 'straw,' as in 'strawberry.'"

"OK. S-T-R-A-W."

"Now," the girl asked, "spell 'stink,' as in chocolate."

The man hesitates, then confused, replied, "There is no stink in chocolate."

"That's what I've been trying to tell you!" she screams.

SEX AND COFFEE

A women visited her doctor to ask his help in reviving her husband’s sex drive. "What about Viagra?" asks the Dr.

"Oh, I couldn't do that!" she said. "He won't even take aspirin!"

"Not a problem," said the doctor, "Drop it into his coffee. He won't even taste it. Give it a try and call me in a week!”

It wasn't even a week later that she called the doctor. The poor lady exclaimed, "Oh my, Doc! It was just terrible!"

"Really? What happened?"

"Well, I did like you said and slipped it into his coffee. The effect was almost immediate. He jumped straight up, with a twinkle in his eye and his pants bulging something fierce! With one swoop of his arm, he sent the coffee cups flying, ripped my clothes to tatters and then, he took me right then and there! Making wild mad passionate love to me on the table! It was terrible!"

"Why so terrible?” asked the doctor, “Do you mean it was not good?"

“No, no, Doc! It was great! But oh my, I'll never be able to show my face in Starbucks again!”

Yum.

Coffee! One of my favorite things, and chocolate too, yum. It's good to know there's something healthy in all this. "Chocolat" is one of my favorite films, I get to drool over all the scrumptious delights, including Johnny Depp! Well, I think I'll just toddle off to the kitchen for another cup of coffee, and let's see if we've got any chocolate lying around...

Chocolate Cappuccino. There's nothing else like it. Except maybe chai latte.

Coffee and chocolate.

I'm not seeing it. Sounds sucky, like mixing sex with watching a ball game. Each is fun in its own way, but together they just seem to grate.

Maybe that's because for me, coffee is fuel, and fuck Starbucks for ruining coffee for the world. That bland-yet-bitter, overpriced vente sucks the root, and so its no wonder folks need to mix more ingredients in it.

Hi Miss C, some good coffee stuff there, I missed Hales conversation with his "joe" somehow when he posted it.

As I mentioned in one or my own posts, girl scout thin mint cookies and a cappuccino is a religious experience!

Wonderful stuff coffee, it makes the world go round.

I like the poem too, I wish I'd written it.

I do my chocolate a little different now than I used to do. Now I put about half a cup of water in the microwave for a minute. Then I add two tsp of sugar and two heaping tsp of cocoa, stir, mix, and drink.

I still don't drink coffee much anymore, but two cups of green tea per day give me some caffeine.

Theresa:

The movie "Chocolat" is THE BEST!!!!! Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp are both awesome in it.

Coffee has fiber in it??!! Shit, that's what's going on. Gotta run...

Thanks for the link and mention to my "Conversation" with my cup of coffee. I had to click on it and read it again.

Shame on Peter for missing a post.

I agree - chocolate and coffee ARE made for each other. I love mocha coffee - especially the frozen ones in the summer.

By the way - coffee and Bailey's Irish Creme are made for each other too!!

Yeah, you're right, Juliette Binoche was brilliant too, but the chocolate and Johnny Depp are especially yummy!
