Chocolate

Sometimes in the midst of a stressful work week, a busy schedule, and an upcoming holiday, the only acceptable coping mechanism is chocolate. Good, savory, pure melt in your mouth chocolate. Not a Hershey's kiss, puh-leez. Rather, the delectable For-a-Moment-I'm-in-Paris kind of escape. Truffles filled with curry or star anise or an Oaxacan blend with chili. Marzipan with apricot and fresh ginger or Sicilian pistachio. Burnt caramel chocolates sing on the taste buds. Ahhh, a sweet escape courtesy of artisan chocolate. - l.o.d.
