Sleep & chocolate

What is it about sleeping with the windows open that makes it soooo good? Yesterday was uncharacteristically warm for this time of year, 20 degrees above normal, and we threw open the dusty windows. Cool, fresh air makes a home feel like an oasis. I like the idea of reviving the home after being locked up for winter. Sleep was fabulous, due to the contrast of the cool air and our warm down comforter. Ahhhhh.

Speaking of chocolate, like my soul sisata, I have a lovely chocolate bar right in front of me. The husband laughs at me because I take tiny nibbles of my chocolate to savour it longer. Most people wouldn't think that's odd, but I can make one truffle last for a week. The most recent bar is Cocoa de Maracaibo, the label says it's made from Venezuelian cocoa (55.5%) by a German chocolatier Hachez. It is wonderfully smooth, with a slight bitter undertone for a milk chocolate. Next up one of these days, is an Endangered Species chocolate bar, Dark Chocolate with Deep Forrest Mint. This company donates 10% of their net profits to organizations involved in the conservation of species, habitat and humanity. Chocolate and benefitting the environment, what could be better?
