I just ate two pieces of chocolate delivered directly from Switzerland by my boss. Did you know hazelnut chocolate is called Gianduja? I don’t care what it’s called. It’s delicious in any language. I am attempting to resist sneaking a third sample; not sure how long that will last.
Even more than another taste of Swiss chocolate, I am craving sunshine – warm, decadent, golden sunshine. After a weekend of gray rain and temperatures 30 degrees cooler than that summer-tease day we had on Friday, I’m ready for the sun. As is the landscape outside! Thanks to the rain, the trees are laden with buds and the grass is bright green. Everything looks to be on the verge, packaged for opening but still unopened.
