There may be no reason for being a chocoholic, but there is definitely a season.This is why getting the flights schedule is very important before planning such a trip.A few flight tracker firms arrange airlines reservations to pay homage to the chocolate makers anywhere.One such heavenly trip is to the fine Tuscan Chocolate Valley between Pisa and Florence. Stay can be arranged at any of the florence hotel. A discount car rental would give ample time to taste the delights created by maestros like de Bondt, De Castro, Slitti, Cioccolato & C, Corsini, Catinari and Mannori,all having their origins in Tuscany.

The
Real Coffee Man
By Anushka Anastasia Solomon
Long before Starbucks became a global corporation, with a presence in Malaysia
I used to buy my hot sweet coffee in a plastic bag with a straw from a smiling
Indian man in a tee shirt and sarung. He worked from a kiosk under the shade
of a huge tree.

Why Buy Fair Trade Coffee

Caramel Macchiato
There is longing arising
in my throat
Like a song floating on a flat-bottomed boat
Curving along the canals of Vienna
Princess Xanat, reclines
like white orchids
In her lover’s sweet embrace,
melting away in
velvet darkness
To the reddish gold
and caramel
Overtones of sunrise and sunset
Love lift our cups to be filled
We share in the dark
vigor of coffee
Cherries pressed against lips
Somewhere in Asia, Africa, Arabia careful
Hands choose the espresso that marks
More than the barren lands
Where love buried her treasure
And bid it grow, climb
like a vine
Towards the heavenly sky
Where mortals become fine
My tongue with pleasure
In rivulet steams
With molten gold, I become the bee
Mesmerized by the purple
tones of
The jacaranda flower
Flowing inside her.
The basket weave of
caramel
Is full of promise
my thirsting lips
open with desire.
