Romancing Tea and Chocolate |
| Happy Valentine's Month!Knowing me, I doubt you'll be surprised that I have Valentine's Day decorations up.I never miss a chance to celebrate the current holiday.Did you know there's such a thing as valentine garlands?For those of you who aren't addicted to shopping at Michael's, valentine garlands exist, and they're festooning my house.Likewise a wreath in the shape of a heart.This is also the month all our thoughts turn to . . .chocolate!I'll give the same advice I give every year.If you can count on a sweet person to buy you some good chocolate for Valentine's Day, and I'm talking GOOD chocolate, that's wonderful.If not, by all means buy some for yourself!This advice holds true all year, not just in February.Chocolate reminds me of my new obsession.Tea.I used to be pretty much a coffee girl, but that was before I discovered the romance of loose-leaf tea with names like Crme Caramel and Desert Blossom and yes, even Chocolate.Now I'm in love with the tea-making process and tea time is becoming a ritual around here.What more could you ask than a cup of fragrant loose-leaf tea, a piece of Godiva dark chocolate and a terrific book to read?I wish I could invite you all over for tea and chocolate this Valentine's Day.You'd adore the tea and chocolate and you'd absolutely LOVE the decorations.Yours in celebration,Vicki |
