chocolate and blanket
Years ago, I had loved a very rich and strong hot cocoa, which is not sweet. Non-sweet strong cocoa is healthy drink, and I've got a mug of hot cocoa a day at that time. And since some days, well after St. Varentine day, that hit again to me. I prepare a hot milk and put a good spoonful cocoa powder in it and enjoy. It's funny actually I had had absolutely no interest in chocolates until I become adult, and now I like it.
In addition to that, yesterday when I went to get some specific french walnuts bread for DH at a famous french bakery around here, I found they had released a new bread of experiment. Its shape is like cacao, with shiny cocoa color. It is a rich bitter-cocoa bread. How yummy! It jumped into my basket naturally and this morning, I tasted. That's exactly what I imagined by its appearance. Rich, cocoa flavor yet no sweet, chocolate brown to the core. I even smeared chocolate spread and doubled its richness.
It is my days, friends. Looks happy? But I am busy between preparing new job and errands and parenting, get unbelievably little knitting and sob.
And I've just got another kind of "knitting in need" project. One of cousins of DH has got a baby boy recently, and found out he needs some surgeries to survive to be normal baby. Since he has been staying at NICU, and maybe some more months. I decided to make a "prayer baby blanket" for him, and just casted on.
Sorry, so far I have no visible progress for current WIPS, and no photo. I will though show you my blanket in progress next time!
