And on and on, but all the madness culiminated in a gorgeous wedding with phenomenal food (this is, after all, My Roommate, culinary student and The Next Food Star) and I couldn't be more happy for her.
Roommate privileges granted us our choice of leftover wedding supplies, and in the melee of cleanup, I saw, claimed, and gleefully secured the following:
Yes, my friends, yes. It is indeed a ginormous white chocolate replica of our United States Capitol. For those of you who know My Roommate, it is only fitting that her place of gainful employment and her childhood dream should be present at her place of nuptials. Such a novelty was a delight to my senses and I rejoiced that I procured such a prize.However, Sunday rolled around and as my roommates (old and new generation, hail!) sat and admired such a creation, we started to wonder, ruminate, pontificate...
What exactly does one DO with a Ginormous White Chocolate Replica of the U.S. Capitol???
Friends, we implore your help. We propose a live vote/proposal session for all of your ideas. Logically, white chocolate is meant to be eaten, but the dilemma is in what way it should be done. A few suggestions:
- miniature wrecking ball
- a laser through the top, a la Independence Day
- set on a platform over low heat, to watch the entire structure slowly melt
*bonus points will be given to the one who can correctly identify the movie quote of the title...

We could have people name unconstitutional laws and programs that have occurred during the Bush administration, as well as disappointing appointments and unsettling statements made by the unfortunate president. For each one that we come up with, we'll hack away at a piece of the foundation of the Capitol until the whole thing collapses.
And the post title is from White Chicks , and I only know that because I googled it.
At my table at said wedding, we decided the best use for the dome would be to cut it off and fill it with ice cream. I actually contemplated this as they brought out those huge bowls of it to go along with the cake.
As far as the base...I'd go with the melting option..provided you have a healthy supply of strawberries and pound cake (like I need to ask...who would consider going without those two things?).
I think it is also important to mention that there were not one of these edible replicas...but two.
We could reenact the War of 1812 and take down the Capitol with little pellets and fire.
Although I think Jared's idea is better. We could combine the two into one, you get to light part of the Capitol on fire after Airing a Grievance. Although why limit it to the current administration?
i think you should name said white chocolate concoction. maybe george or henry. seem like good white chocolate capitol names.
then, you can send george, or henry out into the world as a photo journalist - documenting every fascinating place he goes.
Fascinating ideas guys, keep em coming, keep em coming. This is NOT limited to locals only! West Coast and Midwest Coat and East Coast and South Coast comments are highly encouraged!!!
Yes, there were two of these beauties... by the time I snatched mine up and put it in a huge Maggiano's bag, the other one was already gone... I wonder what they did with theirs...
Why don't you freeze it and then do a Daniel LaRusso-like karate chop contest?
You know, like in Karate Kid 2, when Daniel-san, Miyagi, Sato, and Sato's psycho newphew roll to that weird Okinawa bar where people hangout -- apparently U.S. military soliders -- such as that dude who's Walker, Texas Ranger's sidekick.
(Like, when Walker's sidekick says "You think you can do better?" to an uncomfortably cocky LaRusso, who is trying to impress Waverly from "The Joy Luck Club" by telling her that karate chopping through sheets of ice is all in the mind and not the hand because Walker's sidekick could only chop through, like, two sheets or something. Um, duh, Waverly; it's all the mind.)
Anyway, you and your peeps could do some very special praying/breathing/maintaing-eyes-closed-as-yall-move-your-hands-perpendicularly exercises, which will enable yall to ultimately cut through sheets of ice. Or, in yall's case, white chocolate in the shape of the U.S. capitol.
i'm a fan of the melting idea. or you could pull a seinfeld-esque option and go at it with a knife and fork. whatever you decide to do i'm sure you'll get plenty of pix and do a post about it. i'm gonna check for tickets tomorrow! wish me luck!
I propose an artistic Salvaodor Dali rendition -- A slow photographed melting by microwave. Adding chocolate easter bunnies and christmas elves for effect. In Bolivia, my sister's favorite candy was chocolate frogs (kinda like the jumping chocolate frogs from Harry Potter .. but with no jumping.) They would be perfect.
A tentative title "Political Persistence."
Do you think the microwave is big enough?
Why not just blend it in a blender with the lid off and see who can catch the most chunks on their body? That way everyone can share the white-chocolate-capitol love in a semi-competitive way.
Did I mention that there is also going to be leftover spinach al forno artichoke dip? To be eaten with something other than white chocolate, of course.
Come join the masses!! We've got Oreos!
