She Who Waits

I've been craving chocolate all day. I finally found some chocolate hiding in the pantry that was left over from the triple chocolate pie I made last week. It was a semi-sweet baking square, but it did the trick, especially since I had to nibble slowly.

Tonight I needed a cup of tea. Tea is a favorite of mine, which my husband took note of early in our relationship. We shared some tea the evening of our first date and he noticed my collection. He then took the opportunity to completely seal the deal with the most thoughtful gift I've ever received. He showed up at my door for our first official weekend visit with bags of loose tea, a metal (heart shaped, might I add!) tea infuser, and brownies to make it even more perfect. What's more, he'd asked a friend in New York City to send these to him from a little tea shop in her neighborhood. I was officially a goner that weekend (though I was probably already gone by that point).

Tea and chocolate. Short of my wonderful husband, you just can't get much better. Especially when the tea I'm drinking this moment is Belgian Chocolate Rooibos.
