last saturday cory and i attended whit and jacob's chocolate tasting party for valentine's day. we got to taste five different kinds of chocolates and then rate them on scorecards. it turns out i love generic milky chocolates and dislike pressed organic chocolates. the pressed ones had this weird grainy texture to them i just couldn't get past. this seemed to be the general consensus amongst everyone at the tasting. anyway, the party was super awesome. in addition to the chocolates, whitney baked dozens of cupcakes and cookies served up with a variety of delicious teas. she even made a raspberry almond tart which i think was my favorite part. i brought along my fancy food for the month to the party: coconut macaroons half-dipped in chocolate.



it was especially fancy for me since it was my first time separating an egg. can you believe that? me neither. it was stupid easy.

cory and i ended up staying at her place until late into the evening with two other couples (peter/hattie and chung/alex). we decided to skip out on our original valentine's day plans (make steaks at home and watch coraline at the charles) to drink lots of wine and play risk with them. i'm trying harder to meet new people these days since i've been feeling like a huge loner lately, so this was an opportunity i couldn't skip out on. before he left with alex on their sushi date together, chung invited cory and i to his wine tasting and board game night happening tomorrow. sweet. i'm so damn excited.
