Have you ever tried the Mexican dish, chicken with chili choc sauce? Delish. I did know that the #8 was lucky here in China (am in HK right now as I type this)...but even knowing that, I have only just realised - having seen all the posters round here - that's why they were so keen to get the 2008 Olympics and also why it starts on 08/08/08. Duh. I am right with you on the chili chocolate with red wine. Have you ever tried the Mexican dish, chicken with chili choc sauce? Delish.

Although I really only enjoy it on the high seas, not from the shores which seems to be popular everywhere here. Hahaha for your yoga joke. I can just imagine you trying to do yoga with a Viking helmet. LOL @ Friar: hey, fishing is way cool.

LOL. Chili chocolate is actually chili flavored chocolate. I realize that you'd be hard pushed to find this in your neck of the woods. Perhaps they offer bear-chocolate paws or griz cups. The company that manufactures these is called Lindt & Spruengli a true Swiss favourite. I tell you what, I'll take some with me to Vegas, so you can taste it. How about it? :-) @ Grizzly: I knew somebody would ask. LOL. Chili chocolate is actually chili flavored chocolate.

Geez, that took a long time. Damn you, Brett :-) I am the most anti-Yogic person on the planet. I cant' stretch, I'm totally inflexible. If I took up yoga, I'd break something. But I reach my Zen moments other ways...when I go fishing, for example. @Monika

I hear you. I normally wouldn't do them either, so I appreciate you taking a stab at it this time :) (I only did it last week as I didn't have anything to write that day, and it was different!) I didn't have anything to write today either, but that's because I was busy last night on a new business venture. -Brett @Monika,

You wouldn't believe it though I really had to rack my brains. As for chain letter thingys and blog chain posts, i really don't like them and usually ignore them, but for you my friend and thanks to red wine and chili chocolate it all happened anyway. :-) @ Brett: Hehehe…not sure about the best, but certainly having had fun whilst typing this.
