DID YOU SAY CHOCOLATE!

First, I'm sorry not to have bounced up and down with enthusiasm for a new 'loves' last week.  With impeccable timing (ie week one of my new book shoot) my back went.  And when I say went, it really went.  I was hobbling around in a corset and four heat pads, without the strength even to open the fridge (see how serious it was) and unable to type.  Solace was found in one of my absolute all-time fave chocolate bars, the Vosges  Haut-Chocolat Barcelona Bar.  Think deep, rich milk chocolate, smokey-roasted almonds and sea salt.  It is a combination made in heaven - or rather, devised in Chicago by the chocolatier of genius, Katrina Markoff.  Although I have found them in Selfridge's in London, what I normally do is order ten bars on line and then make someone in my house hide them so I don't eat them in all in one go.  Obviously, last week I had to draw quite a few out of the Barcelona Bar Bank.  I'm not saying this is a low cost indulgence, but a Barcelona Bar is a chic treat , not an exercise in cheap confectionery.  And once you go Vosges, there's no turning back.  You have been warned.

Visit VOSGES HAUT CHOCOLATE, and you can buy it online for $7.50.
