My favourite thing over the past few days has been reading this week's New Yorker (which happens to be the anniversary Valentine's Day issue). I started reading the fascinating, slightly gossipy, slightly jaw-dropping, article on Paul Haggis and scientology a few nights ago. Typically I start reading an article and finish it at the same time. But this time I kept reading and reading and reading and not finishing. The article is long! Joel wanted to read the New Yorker as well and so I had to rip out articles for him (as we often do, alas, to avoid fighting). The next day I finished this article in a rare half-hour on a Saturday afternoon when I was alone (where was everyone? I can't even remember), drinking hot tea, the sun pouring into our bedroom, icicles hanging from the eaves outside the window (which they aren't supposed to do but which were pretty nevertheless). It was blissful. (And it was also close to one of Annie's favourite things: "Reading inside wrapped in a blanket drinking tea on a rainy day.")
As we approach Valentine's Day I thought I'd collect together references to chocolate. Today: favourite chocolate in general. Bethany's is: Godiva dark chocolate truffles - especially the dark chocolate cherries. Marla's is: chocolove with dried cherries and chili. Tomorrow I'll note all the other references to chocolate that came up in the favourite things list.
