With the weather feeling a little warmer today I got up the courage to ride my bicycle into town. In town I caught up with some friends, done a few odd jobs and swung by the supermarket to pick up a few things.
Today at the Supermarket I felt like spoiling myself a little and bought a nice bar of milk chocolate with almonds in it. I have to admit I love chocolate and I have been feeling a little down in the dumps lately.
The cold weather is really testing me this winter and I have to say I am not enjoying it one little bit! Grrrrrrr! Chocolate to the rescue! Nothing like chocolate I say, to cure the winter blues and get me back into the spirit of things.
Having paid for the groceries I packed the groceries away into the pannier bags and slowly made my way home. It was a nice ride home but the wind had a nasty bite to it. I saw a few cyclists on the way and gave them a friendly waive and a Hola.
I made it back home cold but not frozen and I was really looking forward to that Expresso coffee and chocolate. As I sat down in front of the heater with a tab of chocolate and slowly drank the coffee, it was pure bliss. The chocolate just melted in my mouth and the coffee was divine.
What a great end to the day and I’ll be sure to have chocolate in my pantry to keep those winter blues away.
Gourmet chocolates during the holiday season, with a roaring fire in the room, and perhaps a quiet drink to celebrate Christmas or New Year.
Chocolate is the perfect gift or treat with friends, the box of assorted chocolates are my favourite, personally the milk chocolates suit my taste, but the man like dark chaocolate.
Of course when chocolate was first invented thousands of years ago in the jungles of Mexico is was just a drink, which is nice, I love a hot chocolate drink on a cold winter night, but I am glad the method of making solid chocolate was discovered.
My favourites have always been caramel chocolates that melt in your mouth, but I always chew them before the chocolate is fully melted so that I get the wonderful taste of chocolate and caramel together, yum!
The man likes his chocolate too much to be allowed to have it too often, but when we do have a big box he always likes a glass of sparkling wine with the chocolate. He says they were made to go together. I do agree, sipping champagne while you’re eating a lovely gooey chocolate is heaven.
Guys, don’t forget as well that Valentines day isn’t too far away now, and while every girl loves flowers, a big box of chocolates is also very welcome.

Pixabella02 is my second free HTML template. The inspiration for this template came from watching the movie Chocolat starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp. Since watching Chocolat I’ve finally tried chocolate with chili, OMG, chocolate just got better!
So, enough distraction, back to the template which is valid XHTML transitional, and includes two page types, a regular html page, and a blog template page. Modifying Pixabella02 for your needs shouldn’t be too difficult, a simple text editor will do nicely. See my HTML tutorial for more info.
