You know, i'm heart broken, it's Sunday, and I want to binge on some mouth-watering, high quality chocolate. And want to watch the oh so sexy Johnny Depp movie "Chocolat" while I binge too.

So I've decided that I'm going to go to the Godiva store a few miles from my house to get some high priced chocolate and then i'm going to on demand the movie on my cable television and have a chocolate fun filled day to keep myself from crying.

Sorry you're having such a crappy day, hon. It will get better. Watch something that will make you laugh.

it's no La Maison, but Godiva is good!!!

You just can't go wrong with a Binoche film... Johnny who?

It's all about Juliette...





As for Godiva, I'm a big fan of their "coffee feather."

I used to work at Godiva part time. The best part about it was that as part of your training you had to try all of pieces. God, I loved that job.

Had to?

ThreadBare said:

And they have like 60 or 70 different pieces. Yeah, "had to." It's the only way to describe what everything tastes like. People always ask you, "What does that taste like?" You can't be like It was heavenly

There used to be one near where I worked in Baltimore... I used to love that joint!!!

well just got back from my field trip to Godiva. I ended up spending like $63 dollars. Some of you may say just for some dang old chocolate you paid that much to binge on? Well $63 dollars on chocolates is better than $63 dollars on alcohol or $400 on a designer handbag. I almost bought a coach totebag...but settled on the chooclate instead.

breakups are the worst.

SCNDLS said:

yeah the two workers in there seemed quite happy while I was looking around. I ended up buying a truffle assortment and a classic assortment.

or should I watch Forensic Files instead?

At least you didn't go to Whole Foods...

oh my GOODNESS!!! The Raspberry Star piece is just delicious!!!

missfee said:

Which one, the milk or white chocolate??? Doesn't really matter, they're both delish!

SCNDLS said:

I had the white chocolate one.

ThreadBare said:

what's "Whole Foods"? Is this a grocery store?

missfee said:

Awwwww, poor baby. . . You're allowed to indulge. Let me give you a tip though. The best time to buy Godiva is the day(s) after a major holiday like Xmas, Easter, Mother's day, or any other holiday for which they have specially packaged assortments. All special assortments go on sale 50% off and usually contain the same pieces as the regular assortments. So I usually stock up on assortments the day after Xmas.

If you like nuts, the pecan caramel turtle is the best, but most expensive cuz it weighs so much. They don't usually have this in assortment though.

SCNDLS said:

thanks for the tip!!!

Godiva Chocolates are the best. Sorry to hear you're going thru a rough time.

If you like the raspberry starfish, you'll love the crowns, the raspberry turtle in white chocolate (if they still have it), and the truffles.... OMGOSH! The truffles.... especially the dark chocolate ones in any flavor....


You can also call ahead and custom order dipped fresh fruit. That is my indulgence when I do get to Godiva. And the icecream is yummy too, OK I am done now

Hope it gets better very soon for you Missfee

and yes Thready, I love the feather piece as well.... speaking of that, did you ever get your fix on?

paintedlady said:
