Open a good bottle of wine, or just a box-o-whatever.
​Gently peel the foil off of a good bar of chili dark chocolate.
​Start "When Harry Met Sally" on Netflix.
 
Sip, nip, repeat.

Ooooooooo
Perogies look a lot like those fruit pies they used to sell at gas stations. But probably taste much better
 
     Chocolate cheese and cream? Gsssszzh. :drooling: :drooling:  The amount of gumbo I ate for dinner could only be described as "irresponsible", but I would still just destroy a heap of those right now!
