More important than where we went is this discovery I found at the Lindt store at Kittery: Excellence 99% (sic.) Cocoa "Noirissime" Dark Chocolate!I expect that this will make Waden green with envy as they have been known to wax lyrical about the pathetically weak 85% variety. Wade said that 85% takes some getting used to. In fact, their website gives safety guidlines so that consumers aren't overpowered:
To fully appreciate its flavor and texture, we recommend that you progressively develop your palate through our range of high cocoa content chocolate bars, starting with Excellence 70% Cocoa, then 85% and finally 99% Cocoa.I haven't opened it yet. I might take their advice and make a base camp at 85% before attempting the 99% summit.
Oh and, Baden, they recommend that you take it with coffee, not tea, as you are wont to do.

Coffee?
Phht.
How many bean based products do they expect you to fit into one sitting? Factor in the soy beans of soy milk and you have three varieties of bean in your dessert schedule.
A wise chap once accused all and sundry thus: "What - can't handle it?"
And to your accusation, much like most of his, I can only respond thus: "Nay, nay, I could not handle it at all".
