78% cacao

Serendipity find on a shelf with jars of sauerkraut in the discount/grocery variety store, $2, a deal. Tucked away in my pantry and forgotten about, found again with sweet serendipity, just when needed the most. Hadn't read the beautiful description before buying, just that it was reasonably sourced, and contained no milk. It is.. all of that and then some...delicious.

.25¢ Madonna

Delicate flowers

This, bottle of red

Given to me the beginning of April. Opened for a soiree with my sister dear sister D., long time coming, last Friday eve, but not poured. She brought champagne, we drank it. Used a few splashes for cooking through the week, finally poured a glass. It's delightfully rich, and not too sweet, with a berry tart ..easy to drink but sufficiently complex table wine. Thank you, my friend Lisa, for gifting me with a nice way to wind down my night. This night.

Ceylon, fine tea blended in France

One of the two last remaining green glass cups and saucers. Both saucers chipped, but still a treat to drink my tea from.
