Chocolate-cappuccino Choices

Life is always presenting us with choices.

Mrs. L made her traditional batches of holiday truffles
this month. Well, making them is the tradition - sometimes
there is variation in the flavour selection.

This year the featured truffles were chocolate-espresso
and white chocolate-toffee.

I forgot all about the pot-luck food event at my crappy
seasonal job, but they let me eat anyway...so I figured
I'd bring in some truffles the next day to make up for
it.

Mrs. L's chocolate-espresso truffles had people swooning.
A guy said, "I can see why you married her". One
woman, who seemed to be having a food/sex
experience, told me, "Tell her I'LL marry her."

I went home and gave Mrs. L the news. I told her,
"Well...you know....it seems like a lot of women in
our age group suddenly decide to change their
'lifestyle'...so you've got this cute Asian-American
woman interested....not a bad start."

She said....."I see where this is going. Forget it!
It ain't gonna happen."

Somehow this got turned around. What did *I*
do?! SHE made the damned truffles.
