Death By Chocolate This entry has been inspired by a mouth-watering dream dessert that I had at dinner tonite! Oh my lord it was good! As the name suggests, it was very very chocolatey! Imagine a pristine white plate with an arrangement of 4 little chocolate mousse-filled, wafer-thin pancakes drizzled with dark chocolate! Actually the dish was even nicer the last time we had, when it had a scoop of vanilla ice-cream in the centre of the arrangement! Ah! it's really a dish to die for! I know that its name is rather common, every second choco confection's named Death By Chocolate these days. But this one really does its name proud. I would willing die in its arms. It's sinful, dangerous and epitomises living life on the edge.

A little dramatic, you may be thinking. But hell - this creation makes you dramatic. Each mouthful is a burst of pure pleasure.It's rich creaminess making you crave more. and more. till you're sucked into a whirpool of delicious lust and you feel yourself drowning in silken chocolate - your teeth sinking into the thin pancake, into the soft creaminess of a light, fluffy chocolate mousse and finally the chocolate silk that is the dark chocolate drizzle, on your lips!

ah. hedonism at its best.

It's put me in a weird mood. makes me want to wax lyrical, to savour its lingering taste through my memory of it.

i think i'll stop now and go to bed. for fear that some of you think i've lost my marbles.

I've really got to get onto the treadmill tomorrow - or the silken beauty that is Death By Chocolate will invariably find its way to my hips and settle there for good. God forbid!

Anyway, I'm leaving in 3 days' time. That's leaving me with mixed feelings - I'm sad coz i'm leaving home and the parents. I can't even put into words how much I'll miss them both, especially my mother's company - her jokes, her laughter, her love with always be with me and yet physically we'll be apart for eight whole months. It seems like a lifetime at this point. On the other hand, I'm eager to re-embark on the journey that started in july last year. I'm looking forward to flatting with friends, doing up my room, re-connecting with my friends back there and the beginning of the new school year.

Oh well - that's life i guess. a masala mix of emotions. As kev just said, Shubh Raatri.
