- The pretty people of DC will come out in furtive hordes for free truffles in a sexily dim back room.
- Surreptitious cell-phone conversations relaying location and urgent pleas for back-up before the truffles run out: many.
- Confessions of a chocolatier: yes the spice bar contains ginger, no I will not tell you the recipe.
- Chocolate-scented candles: better in concept than execution.
- Banana curry truffles: "Wow, these are very...interesting."
- Yuzu-laced dark chocolates: I swear, they were just here.
- Macademia pralines: how many can I fit in one purse? Being a Gedankenexperiment.
- ABSINTHE TRUFFLES. You, Christopher E, are MY kind of pervert.

Even the color of the sbsinthe truffles gave me a little bit of hallucination. They were all kinds of naughty, were they not?
What a grand time!-t
I was surprised at how tasty they were; I feared licorice and was pleased by the herby flavor. (Although I dun see any of the sample flavors listed on the CE website. Were we just a testing ground? Oh I feel so used.)
The next Biagio reception is sposed to be for the guy who made the scotch and butter truffles. Commence the preemptive drooling.
oh i took a scotch-n-butter truffle home with me and had it to break my fast on sunday. a delight.
They should just wave a box of Biagio's best at the finish line in September. Medal time for sure!
