Quelab chocolate and candy hacking night

Quelab had a chocolate-themed hack night tonight, which included a double boiler made from dog dishes, delicious chocolate pearls (I almost typed perl... such a geek), several variations on chocolate mousse, several failed attempts at a chocolate rocket (although the test fuel burned well, the fuse fizzled on the rocket itself). But my favourite part was sitting down with a bunch of fellow geeks and altering conversation hearts to be a little more geeky. We had waaaaaay too much goofing off and geeking out while coming up with things to put on the candy. The best set is probably these themed ones:

Don't blink: Dr. Who themed sweet hearts

I came home craving Doctor Who and devoured a couple of episodes while putting together my crochet Fluttershy. More pictures of the hacklab and the new pony tomorrow, though; I am sleepy now.

	Those are adorable! I was horrified this year by the presence of conversation hearts that take text-speak to new depths. ("U MINE" was the worst example ravenblack and I saw. Ulch.) (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

Last year, I think, I got some that said "FAX ME" so I'd almost rather the updated ones -- at least you know you didn't buy candy that's been sitting around since the 90's. ;)

I didn't look at all of them, but the oddest one we noticed was "DONT TELL" -- It sounded a bit sinister to me, but then one of the other folk suggested we should just inscribe DONT ASK on the other side, which is a different type of sinister.
