Step up your game in the adidas® F50.8 TUNIT men's soccer cleat. It features a TUNIT boot for exceptional play in any weather conditions, as well as a TRAXION outsole for grip and comfort on firm surfaces. The lace cover ensures optimal fit and a large strike zone, and an agION microbial treatment eliminates odor, bacteria and fungal growth.The older I get the more determined I am to not have to settle. When I was young I always could pick out the most expensive item in a store, at least that is what my mother says. Not much has changed in 50 years. My desire for quality has simply grown more quality conscious.
Although I wasnt born with a silver spoon I never wavered from my standards. Sure, over the years, I have had to settle at times. For example, at one time I owned an older Mercedes Benz, but at least I owned one. I say owned because it didnt take me long to figure out that the repair bills were higher on my Benz just for the name.
My taste in clothes is much the same. I have been happily inducted into the fashion police club. I remember fondly the year I spent working for Chase Manhattan Bank in the executive wing in Tampa, Florida before they merged with J.P. Morgan. There were three of us that hung out together. We would rate the way the other employees were dressed and sometimes it was pretty bad. We werent cruel or rude, we just quietly giggled over lunch.
I also remember well a visit from my baby brother, Steven, down from Atlanta, Georgia. I met him at the Tampa Airport and when he saw me again for the first time in six years he exclaimed, Wow sis, you are gorgeous! That made my millennium for sure!
My taste for fine wine and food is no different than my tastes for anything else. I may not drink $100 bottles of wine every night but I have enjoyed a few. And then there is chocolate; my one true vice.
I have a real love/hate relationship with chocolate. I love it when it is dark, creamy, and rich but as for my hips, well I think you understand. I have eaten all the best chocolates you can name, from Godiva to Ghirardelli, from Swiss to Belgian. However it wasnt until early in 2006 that I discovered the absolutely, unmistakably, most fabulous chocolate you could ever begin to imagine.
The bakery that I discovered that will forever satisfy my chocolate fantasy is located about 12 miles south of Los Angeles in Whittier, California. My Little Taste of Italy is owned by Gloria Mount and her daughter, Liz. From my very first order of Chocolate Chip, Chocolate dipped biscotti I was hooked. Then, late last year Liz came up with a recipe for Cappuccino Brownies that are out-of-this-world! They are so rich and creamy that Jan Verhoeff, another of their loyal customers, has rightly dubbed them, Orgasmic! I have yet to try their Bada Bing-chocolate bundt cake but since it has my favorite ingredient in it you know it will not be long before it too passes over my quivering lips.
I dont know what their secret is, but I, for one, am certainly glad they found it. Gloria has informed me that My Little Taste of Italy uses authentic Italian chocolate in all of their chocolate goodies. I dont know what else they do that makes them sooooo yummy, but whatever it is I hope they never stop doing it. Its no wonder to me that they are gaining a reputation for all of their tasty treats not only across America but in foreign lands as well.
Mama Gloria, as Mrs. Mount is known, is working on several taste sensations for the upcoming holiday. She tells me that they have developed two new flavors of biscotti and a new Florentine cookie she calls Hot Mama. I wonder what that secret ingredient is.
My Little Taste of Italy recently put together Dolce of the Month Club. If you want to experience all they have to offer too this is a very good way to do it. Just look at this list:
- January-Hot buttered Rum Muffins
- February-Chocolate Chili Cookies
- March-Irish Creme Muffins

- July-AgelinasThe Italian Wedding Cookie
- August-Tumbprint Cookies (2 dozen)
- September-Cocolate/Blackberry Muffins
- October-Od World Florentine Cookies

Now I am sure you can see this is the cats meow! A true feast for the prince or princess in you.
