Ironic
December 31, 2005

This - THIS - is why I blog.

Honestly, my life - since being a small child - has consistently gone in a way that makes me shake my head. Or think, perhaps, I was born not with a birthmark, but a target.
As we were leaving the venue tonight The Client stopped us to thank us again for such a fantastic evening (We out-did ourselves *pat pat*) and gave us a little gift bag. It was "Just a little show of gratitude for the barrage of phone calls".

So we hopped in the van and gave it a going through. In the bag was 2 bottles of wine, a wheel of brie, some crackers, gift certificates to Starbuck's, and a big box of...

...chocolate covered cherries.

I threw my head back and laughed so hard I cried.

The Partner was confused.

I was amused.

I love my life.

I really really do.

LMAO. That's awesome.

Hey, send them over my way. :D I loves me some CCC, and I didn't get any in my stocking this year. :)

Good God!! No one should mix chocolate with ANYTHING!!!

Ever since the year I overindulged as a child, I cannot really take CCCs, but my hubby loves them. We even put cherries in the brownies. I believe he would eat a whole jar of cherries in one sitting if I would let him. He is a big fan. I feel this way about mint, tho. I don't do chocolate mint. chocolate, lovely. Mint, ok. together- "yuck ptooey bleh." :)

Ah, yes. Harmonic convergence.

Personally, while I still maintain that dried fruit has no place in a chocolate/chocolate chunk cookie, I love flavored chocolate. I like the Andes Mints and the Chocolate orange. I REALLY love a dense chocolate cake with ganache and raspberry sauce. Yum. I think I'll make one today. :)

Isn't life just a nut that way? It throws the very things you've been ranting about right at you. I think that's why I'm always a little afraid to rant about some things because I just KNOW they'll smack me in the face soon.

You have my address. I can take them off your hands. :-)

What for does the client think a caterer needs wine brie etc? Like you can't pick up better quality wholesale your own self? Ah I suppose the thought it what is counting.

One of the best blogs I have had the pleasure to read to date......Alli...

Hilarious! I can't believe they gave you food! It's like giving the florist a bouquet left over. But then again, some people just aren't creative at all.

Today is Nat'l chocolate covered cherries day. At least Hungry Girl's newsletter said so.

Randomly found your blog through a link someone else had. It's very creative. Chocolate covered cheeries...yum.

Still I don't know if CCC are good or bad for you.
