How on earth did it get to be December? OK, so my son's soccer practice was canceled tonight because it's raining pretty hard. Am I working? Not exactly. I get these emails from Leonides Chocolates in New York because they're Belgian chocolates to die for (it's cheaper to order them from NY than from the EU) and sometimes I splurge, usually around this time of year. So, for some reason I'm irritated that the images in the email are blocked "for my privacy." Yes, I know that images often hide all sorts of nastiness, but not images of Belgian chocolate! That can't be! Yes, I also know that I can display them easily. But I'm just annoyed at all the baddies out there wrecking the experience for chocolate lovers like me. I'd rather just have the whole email show up in all it's Belgian chocolate glory. Ooh, pralines. Marzipan. Dark chocolate. What will I order? The little chocolate Santas are kind of hokey, but there's three kinds of chocolate there! White, dark and milk. Will they taste hokey? I think not. Plus, the boxes are totally cool and they come all wrapped with white paper and a ribbon and packed in styrofoam blocks.
