Chow Chocolate on Main Street Rocks!
Category: food
Last weekend we went with (e:jim) and (e:james) to Chow Chocolate on Main Street between Tupper and Goodell. (e:tinypliny,44289) had written about this place before

First we tried to go to the Chocolate Bar on chippewa. It was beyond crowded and loud to the point of obnoxious. No one greeted us at the door and I ended up having to call them on the phone from within the restaurant to ask if they had any tables. How ridiculous is that. They said not for an hour and we left in search of another source chocolate.

The iphone suggested Chow Chocolate on Main Street and man was that a good choice. They close at 10:00PM and it was like 9:54 but we called and they said they would stay open and had a table. So we went and ate the best chocolate desserts I have ever had. This one was called the chocolate turtle truffle or something like that. (e:jim) had the same thing minus pecans. (e:matthew) had a cheesecake and (e:Terry) and (e:james) had some decadent cherry dessert. At least I am pretty sure.

i just looked at the website and i want all of this now!

That's easy, (e:metalpeter). Start at the Police Station and keep walking north on the same side of the street. Its a half-block up from the Police Station. It has big glass windows and you can see the entire restaurant and vending counter/chocolate bar from outside.

Looks really good, I still Haven't made it there, and still not really sure where it is.
james - 04/25/09 13:20
I thought the deserts were much better than at Chocolate Bar.
paul - 04/25/09 12:52
That dessert was only $8 and it was enough for two people honestly as it was so rich. I think it sounds like a better deal than the shot of hot chocolate. The link in the journal has the menu and all the prices.
tinypliny - 04/25/09 12:06
How much were these desserts?

And spell mistake! occasionally
tinypliny - 04/25/09 12:04
Yes, they are awesome. I occasinally stop there to ogle at those really handsome salespeople and eat these oh-so-richly-decadent chocolate desserts or drink chocolate when I am feeling out-of-sorts. But they are pricey. The tiny shot of hot chocolate is near $4

Windows mobile vs iphone
Category: mobile
Now everyone knows I don't love the iphone but this iphone advertisement made itself. I was going through my old userpics and found these two. One with windows mobile and one with iphone. Totally unintentional and taken a year apart.

Nice day at bidwell
Category: food
I went to sushi lunch with tony at wasabi. It was the first time I ate sushi till I was full. While there I saw (e:mike) and (e:jill) and spent some time with them at the park.

They have this great secret business idea. I am still sick but feeling a little better just in time for allergies, ya!

I agree mike and Jill are cute!
hodown - 04/24/09 15:34
This makes me miss Buffalo. The summer is amazing there. And Jill and Mike. For some reason I always want to pinch their cheeks when I see them.

Linux on the PS3 with Edie Beale

All day long, (e:matthew) has been going crazy trying to watch this Grey
Gardens xvid.avi on the ps3. Transcoding it was not an option because
the quality was already low. The answer ended up being dual boot the
PS3 with Linux. If only the ps3 would allow the Linux install to use
hardware graphics accelareion we could go full screen. At least we
can watch it pretty big.

I salute Matt for his dedication to Grey Gardens.

I hate being sick
Category: health
I have had the worst sore throat/cough thing since saturday. I think what caused it is cleaning the tortoise room after I put him outside on saturday. I didn't release that shop vac didn't have a filter on it and wihtin a few seconds the dried tortoise poop and hay combo turned into a nasty poop dust cloud with myself in the middle.

Since then I have been coughing. I probably have some rare tortoise poop lung disease, yuk!
libertad - 04/20/09 23:00
Yuck. Hope you feel better.
