Way, way too weak. La Tablette de Miss Choco had half the store being new stuff for me...
I wasn't alone for this year's expedition; my sweetie Nej came with me, and spending the day even as a short trip with someone does help to bring out small traits that can be looked at later for personal review. But overall we had a fantastic time, and it was so fun to share all my favourite spots with them. :) The weather was absolutely splendid, and only when trying to find a spot to eat on St-Denis before our bus back did we get hit by the rain - and waiting it out, we noticed we were next to Sushi 999, so hey, why not. If we hadn't spent a fair amount of time eating chocolates (and macarons!) with a break for lunch, we could have eaten more, but their tempura was top-notch, and the salmon and whitefish sashimi were succulent (the latter accoridng to Nej, I don't like the taste). The baggage-checker at the bus station had a hard time believing all of my tote bag was chocolate... yet it was. :)
Considering how warm it has been, I am really, really happy I have my wine fridge right now. Which has one small bottle of red, one bottle of good port, and the rest is filled with chocolate kept at 18 C.
Now if dagibbs had an event soon, I could have a tasting there. :)
