Once in a while, I get to savor sweet things. I control my intake of sweets because my family has a history of diabetics. Then I found out about a friend, Shamus, working on a commissary business of pastries. His specialty is on short breads. I was never keen nor really knowledgeable on terms in baking until, impressively, I got lectured on pastry. A shortbread is a pastry whose texture is a cross between a cake and a cookie. And when he described his product, I got curious and wanted to try them out, a sinful temptation. Then I asked what is his most recommended shortbread to bring at a friend's party, and he said that "with Chocolate, you can never go wrong". Hmmm, who doesn't like chocolates (unless you are allergic to chocolate). Chocolates are favorite pasalubong when a relative comes home from abroad. Chocolates are the best partner to roses when courting someone. Chocolate is the most popular drink, alternate to coffee and tea.
