They're good...but I haven't gotten addicted to them (thankfully before I'll gain more poundage) since I want my fig. Hmm...probably I should scout for them in NYC? <strong>Paola:</strong> Well, that goes to show the world's getting smaller...thanks to <a href="http://roboppy.net/food" rel="nofollow">Robyn</a>! Not entirely all her but the idea of international markets are opening up and travel and tourism, etc. are the venues of making the world "smaller." Okee...too much economic babble, but yes Pan di Stelle are awesome! :) Su-Lin: Yes! They’re good…but I haven’t gotten addicted to them (thankfully before I’ll gain more poundage) since I want my fig.

I might end up buying a pack next time I go grocery shopping....

In regards to the chocolate tasting, um, give me a couple of days so my palate and mind is prepared to try 10 different bars. <strong>Tea:</strong> Like I mentioned to Dana, please wait a couple of days. I tried the La Tavoletta but didn't really pay attention to the characteristics like I would if I were to analyze it. I've already visited Max Brenner in Union Square about last November, I think. It's like eating an expensive version of a Hershey bar: very disappointing and their crepes are horrible. Dana: Thanks!

I actually got from my chef at scholl a 1kg block of LaTavoletta and it was very good. Just so you know, I ALWAYS try new chocolates, yesterday I was at the chocolate fair as you can see on my blog. Now that was exciting. And have you visited Max Brenner already? ( I am sure you did...) Please let me know how the other Amedei chocolates tasted!

I totally forgotten about plant biology since I used to take human anatomy courses back a few years ago... <strong>Kathy:</strong> D'oh! I forgot to mention how those veggies tasted from Maoz. Darn. Thanks for reminding me. I agree with you that their cauliflower rocks. Actually, I think their salad bar is better than their falafels. No. I didn't get to see that cute guy at R&D... :( The only people I got to see were basically a woman working at the confections counter and a sweet, older gentleman at the fish station. Oh well, I want to try their bagel and lox soon so I hope I get to see the guy. Ha ha. ;) I'll see you next week! Weee...! :D Chubbypanda: Oh yeah, it does!
