Sweet Surprise

One of the things I like to collect are gadgets

for the kitchen. I usually pick up stuff that are

brand new but my drawers never turn away

pre-owned items like vintage utensils.

Take for example these teaspoons.

Same shape, same size, all silver,

except for the ends.

If you belong to the school of matchy-matchy,

you might consider these blah.

But for every blah is a TADA!

These are personalized hot chocolate

silverplate spoons sold by Ticket Kitchen,

a shop in San Francisco specializing

in hot chocolate.

I particularly like the product pictured

above. They dip a spoon into a block

of chocolate. All one needs to do is add

this to a cup of hot milk. The chocolate

will melt and TADA!, you have yourself a

some delicious hot chocolate!

But here's the surprise.

When the chocolate melts, the spoon

will reveal a message, one that's engraved

right onto the spoon! You can even

personalize it -- "Marry Me", "No.1 Dad",

"Best Friend Forever" or whatever you like.

Isn't that TADA!?
