First Visit With Nikko

I stand at Nikko's door, for I'm now in the Philippines. She greets me. Oh, how young she looks, like someone in her teens! "You're just the way I pictured you," I tell her with a grin. But then, this girl I'm talking to says, "Oh, I'm Nikko's twin!" "Oops!" I blush; then at the door, the "real" Nikko appears, in her hand a wooden spoon and on her face, dark smears! After hugs, she says, "I'm making chocolates. Try them out!" Sweet caffeine with coffee? That's what I'M talkin' about!!! Day turns to night. We sit and eat good food while chatting too about ourselves, like long-lost friends, and plan fun things we'll do!

Andrea, charming visions and a massive truth - the goodness of chocolate with coffee. Just in the past year have I discovered this - a bite of chocolate (no small blessing in itself) and the next taste of coffee is magical. I don't know all of why it works so well - one might think that the sweet chocolate would make coffee taste bitter, but no - it's a sublime experience.

I zoned in on this one, I think I might have a radar on me. Well, okay, I really searched for it. Interesting you mentioned chocolates too. Just proves Nikko's quite a chocoholic then! I'll cross my fingers for you that you'll meet her some day.
