What a girl wants

The Husband and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on Sunday with Champagne, cheese, and little gifts. If you’re paying attention, we went to dinner a few weeks ago under the “anniversary” heading but we have two anniversaries and dammit, we celebrate both….it’s complicated.

Anyway, back to the gifts:

Every neighborhood should have a chocolate shop. If you’re lucky, you have Coco Rouge.

I love this place. Owned by an insanely talented couple who crank out some serious chocolate love, they’ve been making confections for years. Sipping a cup of thick, highly flavored hot chocolate in their elegant-met-groovy-on-a-corner-in-Berlin store is my absolute favorite guilty pleasure.

The wonderful Husband knows of my affection and presented me with a box of dark chocolate truffles from the Evolved collection: leatherwood (fruity honey with sea salt), miel a la lavande (lavender honey), Turkish coffee (espresso, pistachio, cardamom), and the deeply delicious cassius (single malt scotch).

I’m trying so hard to share. So…very….hard.
