Our friends' son and daughter-in-law are visiting Fuengirola from England. They brought us a very elegant box of chocolates made by Hotel Chocolat. The selection is called "Exuberantly Fruity."
The description on the label: "17 tangs of real fruit balanced with luscious chocolate." The menu displays luscious-looking chocolates and mouth-watering descriptions.
The box arrived just three days ago, but I can't find any chocolates. How could that have happened?!?
To paraphrase Winston Churchill:
"It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an empty box of chocolates."
El hijo y nuera de nuestros amigos estan visitando Fuengirola de Inglatera. Nos dieron una caja de chocolates muy elegante. La empressa es Hotel Chocolats. La colección en la caja se llama "Exuberantly Fruity" (Exuberantemente Afrutado).
La descripción en la etiqueta: "17 sabores de frutas reales equilibrada con el chocolate delicioso." El menú muestra deliciosos chocolates y descripciones.
La caja llegó hace sólo tres días, pero no puedo encontrar chocolates. ¿¡¿Cómo pudo haber ocurrido eso?!?
Parafraseando a Winston Churchill:
"Es una acertijo envuelto en un misterio dentro de una caja vacía de chocolates."
C'est le grand mystère ;)
ReplyDeleteJudy:
DeleteOui.
"GET INTO MAH BELLEH!" said mitchell to the chocolates. and they complied willingly.
ReplyDeleteDAMN, those looked dee-lish!
anne marie:
DeleteThese are excellent chocolates... I have a vague memory of them; they passed by so quickly.
Good morning Mitchell, well it is afternoon for you! The chocolates look fabulous! They sure would disappear here too.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely afternoon.

Robin:
DeleteI don't usually like fruity chocolates. These are exceptional.
If I had a nickel for every time I've been called Exuberantly Fruity.
ReplyDeleteOh wait ... I do.
Bob:
DeleteI do, too... I'd call you Exuberantly Fruity right now, but then I'd have to send you a nickel.
Chocolates evaporate when after the box is open, you must consume them quickly, or they will be gone before you know it.
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteMystery solved! They evaporated! (I had chocolate mousse tonight to compensate for the loss.)
That's a prescription for how to live life -- exuberantly fruity!
ReplyDeleteDebra:
DeleteI agree. My friend Lidia, a wine lover, says "Fruit Forward." I'll have to change that to "Exuberantly Fruit-ily(?) Forward"!
Nuff said!
ReplyDeleteJim:
DeleteI'm craving chocolate!
Mmm chocolates!!
ReplyDeleteRon:
DeleteAnd since these were all fruit-infused, they counted as 17 servings of fruit!
I am in total agreement!
DeleteGlad folks know how to treat you right! That was great gift. Probably a good thing that it is not automatically refilled, eh?
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteI wonder if I should have given them the empty box.
I guess they assumed you tow needed to be more exuberantly fruity?
ReplyDeletemistress maddie:
DeleteWell, I think we're probably the most exuberantly fruity people they've ever met.
Nothing is as sad or inevitable as an empty box of chocolates.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteThat is very profound.
Once you go exuberantly fruity, you never go back.
ReplyDeleteMichelle:
DeleteTell me about it!
You deserve a second box, Mitch!
ReplyDeleteJan:
DeleteI KNOW!!!
