Perfect Holiday Drink: Drinking Chocolate

Drinking Chocolate: My new favorite drink.

This is NOT your normal cup of Hot Coco - Those are made with coco powder whereas Drinking Chocolate is made with real Chocolate Solids.

This is like drinking your favorite candy bar but only much better.

It really is not a sweet as it sounds as it uses a really rich semi sweet chocolate.

I found it online at Amazon after seeing it on the food network on a chocolate special.

Look here to buy some to enjoy and share at Amazon: Schokinag Chocolate

New Wallet Spotted Last Night - The All-Ett Wallet

Posted on August 12th, 2007 by Merlin.
Categories: Gadgets, Life, Money, Shopping, Travel.

I have seen this listed in a few forums I read as a great wallet and that it is the worlds thinnest wallet available - Well Believe all the hype. My friend who bought this all-ett wallet had a ton of credit cards - library cards - drinking club card - grocery club card - Sam’s Club - Costco Membership - Gym Membership Card - I believe he had about 15 total cards and it was smaller then my regular wallet. He did take out all the cards and money to show me how paper thin this wallet really was. I was amazed at the quality that went into making this all-ett wallet beautiful stitching around and re-enforced areas to prevent this from failing. I am pretty sure this wallet will hold up for quite a few years as this is made from sail material and if it can withstand the rigors of sailing I am pretty sure it can withstand the back pocket - They are listed as being able to last 3-5 years.

Here is a photo of the ALL-ETT Billfold — Link to Purchase from Amazon

Moleskine Museum - Photography of Various Historical Moleskine Notebooks

Today, while I finally had a few moments to peruse the web and finally catch up on a few of my favorite websites and blogs. Let me tell you it was really nice to site down with a nice cup of coffee from the aeropress coffee maker (Still using it and loving it more and more each cup of coffee I make from it)

Well, even though I have not used a Moleskine Notebook in quite some time - (Since I switched to Miguelrius Notebooks) I still like to keep up and see if there would be anything I could use or be interested in. Well, today I noticed what I call the Moleskine Museum. It is a collection of journals and notebooks used by famous or semi famous people. You can see photographs from Picassos Notebook cover to James Chapin, Paul Bowles, Guillame Apollinaire, Georges Bataille, and Emily Sowden. Below is a sample from James Chapin.

A few interesting Items at Ebay

Posted on April 1st, 2007 by Merlin.
Categories: Anything Else, Art, Life, Weird Stuff.

While shopping on the old ebay today I found their high lighted products pretty interesting as you can see:

I am placing my bid on the Evaporated Water - But they have some competition as there is the company BuyDehydratedWater.com that is offering FREE Samples. Be sure to sign up and get your free sample today.

I might try and purchase a clue as I really need one. But Maybe I should purchase a Vowel as I don’t know when I could use an extra one. You never know when you might run out of vowels. I sure would love to purchase my face on Mt Rushmore but I just don’t have enough cash to purchase that one. And There is no way I am purchasing a Cow Lick. I have enough problems with my hair now. :-)

I am sure they will be sold out of the Electoral Votes as that I think will be quite popular.

Oh well - Time to get out of the time machine and Wish Everyone Happy April Fools Day.
