Scharffen Berger

If you’re ever in the market for a good dark chocolate, you can’t go wrong with Scharffen Berger. Tonight I tried their Semisweet 62%, Bittersweet 70%, and Extra Dark 82% bars. The back of the labels gives you an idea of what the cacao percentage will taste like, and they’re dead on. It’s amazing how a cocoa bean can taste fruity. The Semisweet says it offers hints of citrus with honey overtones.The Bittersweet delivers complexity of flavor, bright fruitiness and a lasting finish.And the Extra Dark suggests the flavors of dried figs with a mild peppery spiciness reminiscent of red wine. That is so true, it has a tang like red wine. Amazing.

iPhone Antics

My iPhone has finally paid for itself.Yesterday at work my coworkers somehow got talking about the song “Muskrat Love” and one of them had never heard it. He thought everyone was trying to pull his leg. Someone found the lyrics online, but I used my trusty iPhone with EDGE and went to Seeqpod to see if I could find an audio sample. Luckily I found a version by Captain and Tennille. I saved the day.
