Wonderful to see you! Welcome back! Be sure and tell me how you’ve been

Ewww!  I was studying chocolate after reading a partial interview about it here and I happened across this information about Hershey’s process milk chocolate.  Ewww! No wonder I can’t stand milk chocolate.

Some of my favorite blog posts come during times that are particularly rough for me.  It’s not that I need to suffer to write, but I think maybe by giving you something of what I want, I’m giving it - or something similar - to myself.
All I know is that I can be having a [...]

Gretchen Rubin in her blog had mentioned a drink she makes that is a “nursery treat”.  From what I remember she fills a cup about 1/3 of the way with milk and the rest with hot water, then she adds a little sweetener and about a teaspoon of vanilla.  It’s wonderful and smells heavenly.
