Merry Christmas 2011



In
this
season
of star light
and candle light
when hope lights up
all our lives, we gather to
decorate
a tree





Each ornament is a shining reminder that happiness comes one thought, one action, one day at a time.




Best wishes for happiness from our house to yours.

Orange Cupcakes with Chocolate Cardamom Ganache


Sometimes you find something that just works. For me, that's chocolate and orange. Chocolate and cardamom. Ok, to be honest, that's chocolate and just about anything (but probably not brussels sprouts).

I've been working at a new part time job. I would dearly love to learn how to make chocolates, and I offered my local chocolatier Christophe Saive my slave labor during his busy season if he'd teach me to make chocolates after the rush. I think I'm going to be way ahead on this deal!
