Famine's latest purchase...

Which for some reason reminds me of....

...weird (anyway plain chocy is better than milk).

I agree, Scaff. I prefer dark chocolate as well.

I suppose we'll just have to keep in mind that we have superior tastes ;)

Best chocolate ever....

👍

And this thread has now just made me go and make an Espresso to go with some of the above.
 
I'm more of a fan of 70% and 74%, 85% is just a little too bitter although I don't mind it grated onto things :)

Yup, that’s the best (too bad it’s never on sale at the grocery store).

BTW, I’ve heard that Cadburry chocolate in the UK is way better than the US version – it’s dry and crumbly and seems icky but is really good…?
 
MC - The 85% stuff is most certainly an acquired taste and you certainly can't eat a lot of it in one go. For everyday munching the 70 - 75% range is easier.

TM - I agree - out with the ban stick for you.

Sage - While the US produces many fine things to eat (among them stunning peanut butter, tortilla chips that actually taste of corn and the unobtainable in the UK - Filé powder, a must for real gumbo), the one thing it doesn't get right is chocolate. Every type of American chocolate I have tried has been horrible, just far, far too sweet.

NICE! 34 bucks for nike 6.0's shipped:dopey:

Desgined by Oreca? :)

I've been on a bit of a spending spree - mostly through necessity though...

Most recently was the near-death of the family's desktop PC - now in its 8th year of being - and I'd thought about getting a laptop at some point. With the help of the good people of the Computers subforum of GTP, I bought this, a Samsung R60 with Norton 360, one of the basic Microsoft Office packages (I forget which), and a bag to put it all in:

Another necessary purchase, due to the Volvo needing a new alternator and the Mini being off the road (don't ask; it's not major, but it is time consuming) was this 1989 Merc 260E (automatic :yuck:, but I'm not complaining for £600):

And lastly, these two:

And now I can't allow myself to spend anymore.

We share the same lack of acquired taste for 85% cacao chocolate... my favorite for a quick chocolate fix:

As for new purchases, I just got this puppy in the mail:

However, the largest purchase I have had lately was 1,000 sqft of Mohawk Antiquity Handscrapped Mocha Maple hardwood floors:

That chocolate is great! Tried it at the Sea Otter Classic, a well known MTB event in Kaliforniya. Gonna get me a box sometime.

Is that an ih9? if so, how is it? Been thinking of getting one only because you can set playlists to your alarms.​
 
I bought 250 pounds of SiO2 last night, but I'm guessing I'll need more. I'll be putting it in sometime this morning after breakfast and a treatment.
 
*snip* I thought about waiting for the new speculated wireless G25 GT, but who knows if it's real or how long it will before it's release.
I talk to Logitech the day before yesterday (my Geeee 25 is partially broken) and they said that there are no plans for a new G25 wheel.

Maybe they are not allowed to.

What are you using the Silicon Dioxide for?

That's too bad.
