One reason I haven't been on top of things this week is that I was sort of blindsided by academic work. I didn't realize I'd have to do work while I was here. Who thought up that crazy idea? Anyway, that's behind me for now.
Today my friend Eduardo arrived from London for the weekend--he is here this weekend, and then I will be in London next weekend visiting him! The reason for this quick post during his visit is that I really needed to share my experience at the little cafe we went to after he arrived. I had heard of this place recently and had done my due diligence in the way of Google research, but I was really unprepared for the wonderful, wonderful culinary experience that is "Chocolate Soup."
Chocolate Soup.
Chocolate. Soup.
Basically rich, thick, creamy hot chocolate in any variation you can imagine. White chocolate, milk chocolate... name your flavor. You want caramel? Done. Maltballs? Done. Anything and everything. I had trouble deciding what I wanted, so I ended up picking the plain pure white chocolate (which my mother would kindly remind me is actually "cocoa butter, not chocolate"). I rationalized this decision by reminding myself that I have 2 more months in which to try every other flavor combination. Twice.
Various family members keep asking me "You are coming home, right?" My answer is always a laughing "yes." But now that Chocolate Soup has entered my life, I may have to reevaluate things.
P.S. A quick plug for my friends Charlie and Andy, who have been documenting their travels throughout Europe with a travel show called "Look Right." Here is the link to their latest production (partially filmed by yours truly)--

I highly recommend it as well as their other episodes!
