Have you tried any of the Montezuma’s chocolate too? (Incidentally, since reading your mention of Hotel Chocolat I’m now suffering a MAJOR craving, but the cupboard is bare (of chocolate) and I’m i/c small sleeping children so I can’t go on a Waitrose raid. There’s always tomorrow…)

Sounds like a beautiful day! The Aztec Chili sounds wonderful – I’d love to try some. I picked up some Trader Joe’s Sipping Chocolate yesterday. It’s meant to be drunk in 1/4 cups and sounds thick and intense but I haven’t tried it yet.

Books, yarn, chocolate, body lotion … what a decadent shopping trip!

Saturday was beautiful, I’d already decided my next post was going to be about it, but I had a different day.

I’m currently reading A Winter Book, I’ve recently added it the reading list on my own blog…it’s a book like Saturday full of light, crisp and refreshing!

Ooh, that Aztec Chilli sounds lovely. Back in high school my Spanish teacher taught us how to make “Mexican” hot chocolate, flavoured with strong coffee and cinnamon, and I loved it. Not sure I could drink the Aztec though; I’m a total wimp when it comes to anything with spice in. (

Wendy, the offical word from the most famouse American Ground hog on Candlemas was “Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog who predicts the future of spring every Feb 2, just came out and did NOT see his shadow, which is supposed to mean that spring is right around the corner.

I heard him mumble something about global warming before he was put back inside his quarters.”

We have not had a normal North East Cetral Texas winter, which would normally be 13c durning the day and 0c in the evenings. We have had many days where it’s been 0c during the day and -4c at night. Not typical at all. It’s finally been a normal Texas winter day. One month from today is the North Texas Irish Festival. A three day festival of music, crafts, beer, scotch celebrating The Irish and Scotish. It has anywhere from snow, ice, sleet freezing rain rain or sun shine for the festival, part of it is outside in a City Park.

As far as you package arriving, nothing yet. We always joke about the post arriving via pony express. I am sure it is wonderful.
