I’m not quite sure how December and most of January passed by so quickly. The cold weather lulled me..or better said, froze my inspiration to write about food, let alone do much cooking at all. I did squeeze in some holiday baking, but I’ll need an EGO if anything from the late-night kitchen is going to be properly photographed. Still, I’ve enjoyed my short winter’s nap, and hope to return from suspended animation refreshed and ready to get back on some kind of schedule.
To that end, I did something a little crazy the other night…I bought 30 pounds of Guittard 63% bittersweet chocolate. 30 pounds! I’ve never had this much chocolate in the house before. I may never have so much again. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure what I intend to do with it all. But here it is, in all its glory, reclining luxuriously on my sofa.

I think it goes without saying that this year will see more than my share of chocolate posts!
