   You and I seem to be on a similar product track! I have been mourning the loss of chai because I’ve had to give up caffeine, even green tea, and I have not been happy with the herbal versions of chai that I have come across, but just discovered Zhena’s, and it rocks!

   Boy, talk about learning something new every day! I didn’t know about Crocs or dark lavendar chocolate!! I’ll have to try both, especially since there is a store just a few miles from me that sells Crocs – yea! But does this mean I have to kiss my Birkenstocks goodbye? I know they are so 90’s (though I bought my first pair in the 80’s), but still, I love my Birkies…

   I agree…Dagoba’s dark chocolate with lavender is the BOMB! My mother sent me a bar of it when we were in the islands. Imagine my glee when our first trip inside the Davis Co-Op…there it was! Gotta go…I think I still have some in the cupboard… 🙂

    I really enjoyed that poem!
    When it comes to chocolate, I’m hooked on Vosges, which blends high-quality chocolates with unusual spices such as absinthe, paprika, indian spices, and violet! The box they come in is a work of art. http://www.vosgeschocolate.com, although they are wickedly pricey.

    See, this is one of the many reasons I visit here. What a winding, deep journey from your blog to Maya’s to dweezila’s to crying at my desk at work to blowing my nose just in time for a phone call from my husband asking me in his beloved, cheery voice to bring home two stamps.

    speaking of tea…. i am totally into this tea called honest tea. my small yet great whole foods carries their perfectly white tea. it’s got a touch of pure sugar cane and pear juice. it’s just perfect for when you want something sweet but don’t want to eat chocoate or ice cream.

    A dear friend of mine used to date Michael Recchiuti…so I have had the pleasure of enjoying many of his treats. His marshmallows are to die for!! 🙂

    Lovely post as always! It made my day a little brighter.
    Ever since I read this, a line from a song has been going around and around in my head…It goes…’Your love is better than chocolate, better than anything”. I’m not sure who sings it or what it is called though… 🙂

    To Anna…”Ice Cream” by our lovely Sarah McLachlan….that is the song. Crocs…..my very favourite shoes for gardening, walking, anywhere, anytime shoes! They are on sidewalks all over Toronto :>).
