Spring and chocolate



Yeah, you wouldn't think they were related, but you know those Cadbury bunnies, they just keep on producing those chocolate eggs, and darn it, you just have to reward their good behavior by patronizing the little darlings. Then the M&Ms come along with the peanut butter inside their equally yummy chocolate shells done up in pastel spring colors. Well, then see, spring and chocolates DO go together!

So I whipped up some batches of different kinds of chocolate chip cookies, to see which was our favorite. It was a tie, between the oatmeal with cinnamon and two kinds of chocolate (healthy for us--oatmeal!) and chocolate chocolate chip cookies. And started giving them away. The last of the double chocolate cookies went into a big jar for Jeff, our kitchen guy, who promised to consume many for breakfast with his milk. Milk and cookies--what a great way to start the day! I still have two more recipes to try out, thank you very much Midwest Living Magazine! Because that is where I found those new recipes.

While indulging in chocolate, I realized I had a few beading projects to get to, for our church youth mission fundraiser. And found more chocolate! To be precise, chocolate jasper in clever little square beads, drilled on the points; paired with some pink coin pearls, we now have a pretty necklace almost good enough to eat.

Still dreaming of chocolate...
