DAY 11

Always room for one more

Dark Chocolate Bordeaux (and throw a dark coconut honey in there too)
Every year under the tree my mom and my mother-in-law both have a 2 lb box of See’s chocolates, desperately waiting to be unwrapped. And though there are plenty of sweets in the house at the holidays, I will never say no to a See’s chocolate. Never. It’s the perfect breakfast snack to pass around the room while opening gifts! My husband’s family are milk chocolateirs, while I’m a dark lady. So my sweet mother-in-law Linda always makes sure there’s a few dark bordeauxs in there among the milk chews and creams. It really puts the pressure on to eat my share. Isn’t it great?!
So if you’re out Christmas shopping at the mall today, pick up a chocolate or two or three and a sucker for the kids. Happy Holidays!

    HEY DANA, I LOVED THE SEE’S CANDY ENTRY, AND SINCE I’M AN OLD FRIEND OF YOUR IN-LAWS, AND I KNOW HOW THAT CANDY THING GOES I HAVE A GOOD JOKE FOR YOU TO SHARE WITH LINDA FOR BROWNIE POINTS. ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO I WENT TO TUCSON TO VISIT PARRY AND LINDA AND WE WERE SHOPPING AND DITCHED INTO A LITTLE SEES CANDY SHOP THAT WAS SEPARATE FROM THE MALL. WHEN LINDA LOCKED THE DOOR OF THE CAR, SHE ACCIDENTALLY CAUGHT THE CAR KEY IN THE DOOR AND BROKE IT OFF. WE PANICED AND DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO, WE DIDN’T WANT PARRY TO KNOW WHAT WE HAD BEEN UP TO, AND WE HAD TO CALL HIM TO BRING ANOTHER KEY…AND THERE WE WERE IN THE PARKINGLOT, CAUGHT RED-HANDED! WHILE WE WAITED FOR HIM TO COME WE DECIDED WE MIGHT AS WELL GO INSIDE AND GET A BLACK AND WHITE CHECKED BAG TO MAKE THE ADVENTURE ALL WORTH WHILE…I LOVE THE CLOSE SHOTS OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL KIDS..XOXO, SUSIE Q
