ghost of miles Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 I drink about 7-10 cups a day as well, including one or two in the early evening... and then in the mid-early-mid evening... but never at dusk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Berger Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Anybody else see the movie "Coffee and Cigarettes"? A couple of the characters discuss how they like to drink coffee before they go to sleep because it makes them dream faster. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Never, EVER past 1:00am-----and that's a firm rule! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 I usually try not to partake after 6pm but sometimes I will depending on the circumstances. I have a tough enough time getting to sleep and I dont want to aggravate the situation anymore than necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainyDay Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 I drink decaf coffee in the morning occasionally. I typically don't have diet coke after 4 PM and I only have one a day unless I get one of those 20 oz. jobbers then I try to leave some in the bottle. I have a heck of a time sleeping so I have to be careful. But I have some diet vanilla coke in the fridge and I'd love to chug a few gulps right now. I LOVE diet vanilla coke. Of course, there's the chocolate situation. I'll eat chocolate in my sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Ghiradelli's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 We could talk about morning too. I'm a slow waker- my wife knows not to ask me any important questions 'til I've had my coffee in the morning. OTOH, she drinks decaf and goes into hyperdrive if she has caffeine. So if we go out for breakfast and the waitron mixes up our coffee orders, you can just imagine the wacky hijinks that ensue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainyDay Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 (edited) Ghiradelli's? Ghirardelli is good but my favorites are: My favorite store bought is from Belgium and I can't ever remember the name. You can buy it at Trader Joes (very cheap) and Cost Plus (not so cheap). Drost? They come in a stack of little round, flat guys and they come in milk, milk extra rich, and semi sweet. The extra rich milk is delish. Then there's See's. I can ID a See's chocolate just eye balling it, don't even need to take a bite. At work during the holidays, people ask me to ID which ones are which. Joseph Schmidt makes wonderful chocolate and their truffles are sublime (they're in SF and you can order online, I believe). This is probably my very favorite chocolate of all. They have a tiny little retail store on 16th between Church and Sanchez. Recently, a co-worker turned me on to Scharffen Berger chocolate. Their factory is in Berkeley and Trader Joes stocks their candy bars. I've not made it to their store but they make a lot of different chocolate delights. Man, they make the most potent milk chocolate I've ever eaten. I swear, it gave me a buzz. The semi sweet should probably require a prescription. One day I will tell you about Cocolat, a chocolatier that made a chocolate pound cake that brought tears to my eyes. Their factory was in Berkeley too and when they went out of business, I almost broke down. RIP Hey, you asked!

chris olivarez Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Yes Rainy I did indeed ask and thanks to you I received a serious education in chocolate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Johnson Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Just had a warm flourless chocolate cake with, get this, balsamic vinegar drizzled over it. It may sound weird, but it was delish. We asked the chef about it, and he said he just happened on it by accident; he was in the kitchen with some fallen chocalte cakes, and knocked over the vinegar. The vinegar spilled on the cake, and voila! He stumbled upon the perfect combination of sweet and...well, not salty, but "not so sweet." Yummmmmmm. Very good with red wine...but that's another thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainyDay Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) Now that's a combination I wouldn't have thought to put together. But I've eaten chocolate with or on any and everything else in the world so why not? Edited July 23, 2004 by RainyDay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
