Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mmm, just made some of the TJs sipping chocolate.

Hey, if anyone sees that for sale, not peppermint, can you buy it for me? I'll pay. My store said it was seasonal, but who knows. I bet I can get my grandmother to drink it as a replacement for the Williams-Sonoma stuff that is also no longer for sale.

That garden is beautiful.

I spent most of the day (well, once I got up) out in my own, less stained-glassy, garden. It was a lovely day for it, and my landlady even gave me free mulch to put around all my plants.

After a few days of sitting in conference seminars it felt good to spend time moving about outside.

Oh wait, that's me.

Burrito?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Mmm, I love a well roasted duck. Yum. Miss my mother's duck, it was always superb.

My store said it was seasonal, but who knows.

Sadly true, I'm afraid. I bought a tin as soon as I saw it in the stores in Dec. Wish I had had the foresight to buy two. Although it really is too dark and thick for me to drink in 80 degree weather, but on a cold rainy day like today? Perfection.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was reading something recently - a novel, probably - that kept referring to one of the characters taking his morning chocolate, and made me want to sip chocolate all the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Flash flood warnings for LA County, for those who may not be watching TV.

What is this sipping chocolate? What makes it different from other chocolates? Why do I suddenly sound Jewish High Holiday?

Just lost power again. I wonder if it's just our building.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

What is this sipping chocolate?

It's chocolate that you sip. It's how the Europeans first experienced chocolate!

What makes it different from other chocolates?

It's super-crazy rich.
