Secret Indugence


Have you ever heard of salted caramels? Well, I guess they are quite the rage in more sophisticated chocoholic circles than mine. I have fairly recently heard of them. (In fact these caramels are supposed to be one Obama's favorites.) Salt and chocolate. Two of my very favorite flavors. The ones that I like are the "grey salt" and "smoked salt" ones by Fran's Chocolates. I only allow myself one per day, and then I sit down somewhere and thoroughly enjoy it. Sometimes I think it is okay to give ourselves little treats. It doesn't have to be candy, or even food. But something that gives us that indulged feeling. Do you have a secret indulgence?

I appreciate a really good cigar or a nice bourbon. We all deserve indulgences have a great Weekend!

A good cup of joe! I have had to give up coffee while pregnant and nursing but I always return. I only alow myself two cups a day in the morning and they have to be fresh and strong or forget it. Chocolate goes really well with coffee. Blogging seems to go pretty well with coffee and chocolate... Hmmm I'm feeling indulgent.

I always crave salt over sugar... and I am one of those freaks that doesn't like chocolate. But a salted caramel sounds delicious!!! (Along with a glass of wine ;) ) When are you coming back to have one of those with us again??
