Hersey's Air Delight. Never before have I eaten a chocolate bar that wonderfully strange.

My cat gave birth to three kittens earlier, and one of them has Vulcan eyebrows.

I just can't see it. If you compare it by weight to a regular Hershey's bar you see that you're getting less chocolate for the same price.

Honey BBQ wings from the deli at work. We don't have them often.

But then one could argue that you should buy cocoa powder and make your own chocolate and get the biggest bang for your buck. She is paying for a certain kind of product with a certain taste and texture.

The World Market here sells some British equivalents: Aero, and something else that's less like little bubbles in the chocolate, and more like chocolate that melted in a hot car and solidified all stringy. If the Hershey bar is like Aero, I think I'd like it. It isn't a quantity thing, it's a quality thing. The texture is vastly different from solid chocolate, or other chocolate products, like the chocolate nougat in Three Musketeers.

giggles, if you can, get ahold of the mint flavored (or flavoured) Aero bar. Heaven.

Made a shake at home with dark chocolate M&Ms and a banana with the ice cream and milk it was quite tasty.

It is. It's full of those little bubbles that give it such an interesting texture. It's easy to chew and just kind of crumbles in your mouth. It was also cheaper than the regular Hersey's bar.

Today's pleasure is getting a lot of house cleaning done, getting our new kitchen island put together, and maple bacon. Also, I'm having far too much fun playing with my son's toys that he got for his birthday yesterday.

Diablo III Stress Test Open Beta.

I maxed out a Monk and a Barbarian, and tried out the co-op setting, too.

Game gets to be a bit harder when you have four people playing and wander off on your own.

I tried the Monk, the Wizard, and the Barbarian. I think I prefer the Monk, personally.

Now we just have to wait...

So far I've tried out wizard and demon hunter, both fun. And I got into the closed beta for the stress test.

I have decided not to buy it because I love being married. Being married is my simple pleasure.
