My husband and I often laugh about some of the crazy things we did when we were dating.
We were talking about the time we drove three hours to go to the World’s Largest General Store. When we got there, there were four tents with wooden planks between them. It was raining like crazy and the boards were sinking into the mud. We both laughed like lunatics because it wasn’t much more than a flea market. The best thing that came from the General Store was our discovery of Lindt Chocolate truffles. It had to be one hundred degrees that day and they didn’t have any air conditioning inside the tents. When I saw the chocolates, I asked the man at the cash register how much they were. He handed me two bags and told me to take them. He couldn’t keep them from melting. We couldn’t wait to get back to the car and turn on the air conditioning. Once the air conditioning was cold, I took one of the chocolates out of the bag. It was so liquidy that I had to hold it up to the AC air vent to keep it from pouring from the foil. Once it was solid, I opened it up and popped it into my husband’s mouth. I didn’t realize the AC had only solidified the outer layer, until the chocolate dripped down his chin. Even now, whenever we see Lindt chocolates, we laugh. We remember how the air conditioning worked as much to make the chocolate edible as it did to keep us comfortable.
