Chocolates to Enjoy

A few days ago, my work friend gave me these chocolates.

• Chocolove Chilies & Cherries in Dark Chocolate (55% Cacao content)
• Green & Black's Organic Dark Chocolate (55% Cacao content)
• Green & Black's Organic Milk Chocolate (34% Cacao content)

I've had Chocolove chocolates in the past and so far not disappointed with its line of dark bars combined with fruits or spices. I can't wait to try them all! Hopefully, I'll have the time to write down my tasting notes so I can share them with chocolate fans out there.

Cold Weekend, Warm Kitchen

As rain, wind and low 50's temperature hit the city this weekend, I cranked up the oven to bake this heartwarming pound cake. Adam started bringing lunch to work again and I thought this would be a good addition to his meal.

Supersize Me

A & I finally watched Supersize Me on Friday night. Twenty minutes later, I felt sick. As the film progressed, so did my stomach sickness. Note - we were having dinner while watching this. Twice we had to pause the film to remark on how eating fast food can do horrible things to a human body. After dinner, we had an apple each for dessert instead of the apple cake I made days earlier. By the end of the film, I felt a twinge, aching feeling on my upper left chest - as if I was about to have a coronary. Seriously, I don't think I can step foot in a fast food restaurant from now on. I can't even recall when the last time I was at In 'N Out. As much as I love this place, I think it will be for a long while before I visit it again and enjoy a Cheeseburger 'animal style'.
