Just got back from a quick shopping excursion.  I ran and got a CD set on "learning Italian".     I studied it in high school and college, and I'm hoping this will "awaken" those lessons.

Good for you, Chuck.  It should come back fairly quickly.  Good luck with it.

I think you look a bit like all those guys, Chuck, but Andrew Zimmern and you may have been separated at birth. 

I agree.  Except Chuck wouldn't be eating some of that stuff.

Hiya BetterMost friends.

I hope that everyone is well this evening!

Work today was busy, and doing its best to work my nerves, but I reigned supreme!

*poses in super hero stance*

LOL


Let's just say that things other people were supposed to do but didn't made efforts to hamper my progress at work, but I still got things done.

Oh, very cozy place.  I'll bet Blaze likes to sun himself out there.

Oh, there must more than a hundred different brands of this product in Germany. They're called "Nuß Nougat Creme".
Every middle sized supermarked has at least 7 or 8 different ones. Nutella is just the most well-known.
Come over and have some serious testing sessions!

I took a jar of nutella with me to Wyoming a couple of weeks ago, and all my travel mates ridiculed it. They said there must be all of 7 people in the U.S. who would buy it. I told them it was just like peanut butter except with hazelnuts instead. l told them both my daughter and my son love it. So they said, there were 2 of the 7 people in the U.S.

Chuck:  Thanks for the PM explaining the joke you played on your coworker.  That's funny.

And it's far easier to get real chocolate spread (not chocolate-nougat) in the UK than in Germany. We only have the brands with hazlenuts in the regular supermarket. My daughter is allergic to nuts. I have to go into the next bigger town to a health food shop to get a brand without nuts. Of course the prize is about three times of a regular brand .

So when we were on vacation in the UK last year, we stocked up on Tesco chocolate spread. Lasted us a whole year, we're now on the last jar.

  at you stocking up on the chocolate spread!! But makes sense if its nutella style in germany mostly - we have both types in equal measures.
