Chocolate lovers: you owe me for this

Normally I don’t get excited about cooking.  I’m also notoriously poor at following through on anything.    But I wasn’t about to let anything stand in the way of me and something chocolate.

Today’s walk brought into perspective the last two days— still without connection to the internet, television and phones.   While I’ve been whining about being powerless, […]
