I’m surprised she fit under your tree. Was she clothed?

Amazed at your restraint. Mine never would have made it under the tree.

If you haven't already found out, they have their own website, https://www.choczero.com/, and they also sell on Amazon. :)

And on that note (C#), I'm outta here.  No one else is here in the building, so it's time for me to follow their lead and get going.

Be back later!

Trying to watch One Night in Miami - anytime the first thing on the screen is "inspired by real events" I want to shut it off - it's okay so far, nothing special.  A fictional account of a real night - a meeting between Sam Cooke, Cassius Clay, Malcolm X, and Jim Brown.  Based on some play I never heard of.  Listed as an Amazon Original Film, even though Amazon had nothing to do with it other than purchasing it for release.  The play began here in LA at the Rogue Machine Theater, a little 99-seat house in 2013.

I have now seen The Prom on two 10-best lists (WaPo and USA Today). I wouldn't go that far, but it's nice to see some sheer entertainment being recognized for allowing some much-needed escape.

Sometimes You Have to Lie, a biography of Louise Fitzhugh, who wrote Harriet the Spy, is proving to be entertaining, if not terribly deep.

Listening to lots of different music this evening - right now the marvelously entertaining soundtrack to the 1996 Japanese film Shall We Dance - I love the film - I know I have it on DVD, but heaven knows where.

Previously heard - cast album of Ciao Rudy starring Marcello Mastroianni - weird but fun.  A Decca Entartete CD featuring the second symphony of Ernst Krenek - which I liked very much.

I was reading Hell at the Breech and returned it to the library. As much as I enjoy Tom Franklin's writing the story was too depressing.

We received a surprise gift in the mail today, a tin of homemade bourbon bon bons.  A neighbor also dropped off some Christmas cookies :)

Last night I dreamed I was walking barefoot through the snow and carrying a full score for a number from 1776 to a rehearsal on Fifth Avenue.  I have no idea why I was barefoot.


Were you in Central Park?

I stopped at Julie's today and picked up several take-out favorites for the next few days. There's nothing like comfort food! (I have ChocZero here, too.)



Jeanne, just last week, I got me some ChocZero chocolate peppermint syrup and (don't tell Jane!) some chocolate hazelnut spread!  Both are delish! ;D


You lost me at hazelnut.

I know that not everyone likes hazelnuts.

Otherwise, just about everything else that I've gotten of theirs has been pretty darned good.  The only thing that was less than great (for me) is their white chocolate.  That's just not very good...to me.
