Icelandic Chocolate

Walking through an unfamiliar grocery store, actually looking for a health drink that I am finding harder and harder to find . . . I somehow came across the candy aisle (don't know how that happened).

I have never seen chocolate from Iceland before so I needed to buy this.  I have been breaking off pieces of this and just eating it but I now discover that there is a recipe for making hot chocolate on the back of the bar. 

Well, darn . . . I've eaten too much.  Will just have to go back and buy more.  Winter is coming.

After the Detroit Zoo

For our wedding anniversary my husband and I decided to go to the Detroit Zoo.  Do something a little different.  I have not been since I took three of our four children there.  The fourth one wasn't even on the horizon yet and all are grown so -- a big number anniversary. 

Mainly I wanted to check out the new Penguin Exhibit. 


Our son and daughter-in-law wanted to join us and we all agreed to pack a lunch and eat there.  While my husband and I packed peanut butter sandwiches and a couple bags of chips they arrived with a basket full of huge sandwiches that they had picked up at the deli around the corner.   I wasn't jealous until dessert time. 


Actually my daughter-in-law had some type of pudding cup with fruit on top so, I wasn't jealous about that.  But they did talk about the fabulous chocolate desserts that were there that I might like.  Where is this place?

Yes, they have fabulous desserts.  No, I didn't think to snap any pictures until after we had eaten, however, I had also picked up these candy bars.

                                  Strawberry, champagne, truffle.  What's not to love?

I think it was Sanders that made the really good honey chips that I can't find anymore.  I don't like spicy, hot food but decided to try out the honey pepita caramel anyway.  They are both very tasty but the honey one has a bit of a bite to it due to the chili powder.  Not bad but it's there.

A Little Liqueur . . .

A friend in her travels brought me back a wonderful surprise -- Chocolate!  And not just any chocolate but little tiny shaped bottles of the stuff with various liqueurs inside each.  I am having more fun trying these out.
