We've got it about halfway eaten right now. \n\nThe Chocolate Decadence, a slice of which I ate last week, was like a one-night-stand with a vampire. \n\n\"You won't remember, I'll never forget,\" it whispered after leaving me unconscious in the dining room. \n\nWell, I remember now and long for another encounter."^^ .
