I stopped off at Alma chocolates to get Federico a Valentine's day chocolate - an edible heart that says amor. They make exquisite edible works of art - laughing Buddhas, the Virgen de Guadalupe, etc.---all made out of dark chocolate and coated in gold.
I treated myself to a tiny chocolate - a lavender salted caramel. It was fantastic. They have these amazing combinations...one had chile de arbol. I almost got that one.
I'm not going to deprive myself of a treat now and then....becoming a food Nazi is not my idea of happiness or health.
Here is a link so you can get an idea of the artistry:

What a gorgeous website (almachocolate)... I want chocolate like that. I've not yet experienced the salted caramel phenomenon but I'm sure I'd love it. Glad you're not a food Nazi. It's not worth it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day, Sister!
ReplyDeleteI think the chile de arbol sounds exquisite! I'll be sure to have some today in celebration...
Regarding the whole Food_Nazi thing, Becky has encouraged me to redirect my attention for food toward something else. I picked Yoga breathing and water. Can't have too much of that!
(I'll let you know how it goes).
Loves!
