I've tasted heaven...

... and it tastes like Fudge!

No, seriously it does. And the angels that have bought this little slice of the good life to our miserable existence on the mortal plane? The Fudge Kitchen.

And how have I stumbled upon this divine delicacy? Well, Phil and I headed into Oxford today after a long discussion last night about the advantages of buying a mac mini to do iPhone application development on, the conclusion of which was to go ahead and get one and see what we can come up with.

That decision involved us going into town to purchase said mac product, which also involved us walking past this tiny window in Oxford which when glancing through was like Willy Wonka had set up shop. Big copper pans everywhere, bubbling pots and layers of lavish fudge being gently manipulated into very fine fudge rolls ready to slice up and purchase.

So what are you suppose to do? Easy. Spend 600 quid on an apple and then spend another 10 on fudge. It's a food fest I tell you!

Seriously though, I am NOT a fudge fan in the slightest, all the fudge I've ever eaten has been nasty congealed grimness but this stuff is like velvet on your tongue, it melts away in your mouth leaving you more contented that the best Belgium chocolate you can think of, so much so you'll want more and more and more. But you can eat as much as you like because although it's rich it is not at all heavy. I can't recommend it enough, you simply must try it to believe it.

Back home and Phil sets about setting up the mac which is surprisingly painless. He's struggling a bit with the UI but that's to be expected after years of windows usage, just got to download the SDK pack now and I'll be sorted.

Whilst Phil is doing that I play some Fable 2 and download the See the Future pack which is pretty cool, even though it did take 2 hours to download.
