I want to believe my chocolate is a genteel pleasure and I do not want to be educated about the unseemly acts required to produce it!<BR/>AND I am as open-minded as the next person, but what can they be thinking when they pair sacred chocolate with foie gras?

I am originally from Venezuela but have lived for many years here in the US. And let me tell you, those chocolates are as good as they sound! I've been a chocoholic all my life and was utterly spoiled with all that fantastic chocolate growing up. My mom is coming to visit next month and I can't wait to get my usual shipment of chocolate! <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I love your blog. I found it while researching Paris. My husband took me to Paris this past March to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary (it was the honeymoon we never had). I had the time of my life. I feel like I relieve it a little when I check you blog. Thank you for that!<BR/><BR/>LibbyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-84816907228304581032007-11-13T14:25:00.000-05:002007-11-13T14:25:00.000-05:00Lovely!
