😀 It’s Canada! Canadians are a proud, hockey playing people who will mock you senseless if you call them Brits. Although, I don’t want to be felt up by TSA agents, so there you go.Īlix Bekins: Well, you’re close to Vancouver/British Columbia – that’s sort of like the UK! A little bit? Maybe if you squint?Īndrea Speed: If you squint, tilt your head, and… not really. But sadly money and circumstances have left me stranded here for the moment. But look at it this way – if things keep going the way they are, twenty years from now, this won’t be an issue at all.Īlix Bekins: So have you been to the UK and had cocoa there?Īndrea Speed: I have not! I really want to go, too.

Not enough energy/preaching to the choir.Īndrea Speed: Yeah. But again, I won’t go off on a rant about Prop 8. Northern CA wants to be there with you on both issues.Īlix Bekins: I hope so. 🙂 You are the first Naugh-tea person in the same time zone as me – you’re in Washington?Īndrea Speed: Well, with our legal pot and gay marriage, it seems like we’re in a slightly different universe too. But it’ s the little things that can make you so happy sometimes.Īlix Bekins: That’s what splurging is all about. Every now and again, I splurge on something I shouldn’t. Just because it is super fancy, and wasn’t something I could pick up at the store. 😉 So what’s the best cocoa you’ve ever had? Most fancy, exotic setting, special in some way?Īndrea Speed: Hmm… Probably that British drinking chocolate I mentioned. They understand everything is better with milk and real sugar, not corn syrup and wax.Īndrea Speed: We’re just going to wax rhapsodic about foreign sweets, aren’t we? I’m good with that… Corn syrup really doesn’t need to be everywhere.Īlix Bekins: I’ll stay away from my rants about GMOs and corn subsidies and other hippie liberal stuff. 😉 IMO.Īndrea Speed: Ha! They do know their way around a dark chocolate – I have to give them that.Īlix Bekins: And candy. There’s a British drinking chocolate with peppermint which is just awesome.Īlix Bekins: Ooooohhhhh! Anyhting British is immediately better. Have you had the Ghirardelli peppermint cocoa?Īndrea Speed: The smell is nice. I love how it smells, hate how it tastes. (Not a coffee drinker, though.)Īlix Bekins: I’m not a coffee fan either. Read on, if you dare….Īlix Bekins: What kind of coffee/tea/cocoa do you like?Īndrea Speed: A nice white tea with peppermint would be great. ZOMG, Andrea and I had so much fun and we talked about *everything* during our chat before xmas! Seriously, *everything* – Canadians, superheros, mad scientists, “The Tick”, and pretty much everything geeky/nerdy in the scifi/comic book world.
