GLUTTONY : Chocolate fountains...
A dear friend of mine, who shall remain nameless to protect the guilty, asked me to accompany her to a "Wedding Show" at the LA Convention Center. We are SOOO not the type of girls to bust out into squeals at the mention of weddings, so we approached it with a mix of dread and fascination. Much like watching Ashlee Simpson sing, or looking at a traffic accident. Actually...those 2 are one and the same...but nevermind.
I had previously been to a Wedding Show, so I kinda knew what to expect. I was mostly looking forward to the free cake samples, and making snarky comments about the tacky dresses. The ominous references to the "cake dive" at the Registration table didn't make the prospect of wading through miles of persistant and creeky wedding photographers any more appealing.
Oh wait...the "cake dive"? Yes...apparently 5 brides are chosen to paw through a huge cake in search of a $5,000 piece of diamond jewelery. We very politely declined. Actually...I made some remark about how humiliating that is and that we're not the sort of people to appear on reality shows, either. Didn't go over well with the "Wedding Show" staff. Oh well...
The day was not in vain, though. I got a great recipe for pasta salad after trying some from a caterer. Yum. Note to all caterers at future wedding shows: Bring food. Why else would I talk to you? I can make an appt to do that, I don't need to trudge through a convention center...
AND I found out about the chocolate fountain. No, no...that's not a new video from one of the many fine video production companies in the San Fernando Valley. Picture a large fountain filled with flowing melted chocolate. Now picture a bowl of madeleine cookies beside it. It might actually be worth getting married to get access to one of these...

How about a 27 foot tall glass-enclosed chocalate fountain pumping a ton of confection?
