my name is diane and i’m a…

…chocoholic.

Chocoholic was the fantastically delicious event I was at last night.

From cupcakes, to cookies, to chocolate cocktails and chocolate fountains, (white, milk, dark, champagne, mint, chili, cinnamon flavored and even caramel and peanut butter ones!)- we were one happy crew of indulging friends. Of all the treats, my favorite of the night was the sea salt caramels covered in dark chocolate. Here’s a recipe to make them. The perfection is in the combo of salty and sweet. Mmmm…

Naturally during the course of hundreds of ravenous sugar lovers roaming and noshing, there were bound to be drips and drops flying everywhere. This poor sign didn’t see it coming:

Gee, I wonder why I was wide awake until 2am this morning.

I’m still smiling from my chocolate high.

*Getting the car and starting the drive for a very long road trip
*Watching (my kids) N and G learn and love the excitement of accomplishing and conquering something new

Notice all these things that are awesome readers have shared are free or really cheap? Isn’t that great?
