enjoy further dainty morsels in triple time Explanation: Yes, I know that there is no connection between "trippeln" and "triple time", but a "minuet" was/is a dance in triple time and the two terms sound fortuitously similar! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2010-08-09 12:35:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "dainty morsels" could arguably apply to both pieces or chocolate and pieces of music. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 36 mins (2010-08-09 12:36:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, "pieces OF chocolate"! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 37 mins (2010-08-09 12:37:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Minuet your way through further dainty morsels" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2010-08-09 16:26:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "whirl your way through further dainty morsels" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2010-08-09 16:52:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "munch your way through a minuet of dainty morsels" |
