I am the luckiest girl in the world.
When Susan said that she thought some chocolate would help me to feel better about all my recent Sad, I expected a chocolate bar or two. I certainly did not expect enormous Box of Thoughtfulness that arrived yesterday! I would list for you everything in it but it would take a while so I’ll just hit the highlights.
CHOCOLATE. I started with the Raspberry, it matched my socks.
One sock is finished! WOOT!
And moved on to cherry almond (M had most of that one) and mint. We have barely scratched the surface. All the ginger candy is gone too – but there will still be stitchmarkers and music long after the treats are gone. The cats were even included – they swiped the catnip off of the table and took it down the hall to play with it. This is the best shot I got of that scene. Pardon the blur, there are five cats in that picture.
But, and I say this in all seriousness, the best thing was the muffin recipe. I even had everything in the house to make them (I took it as a sign and had them in the oven even before I wrote Susan to say the box was here). They are complex, unusual and pretty to look at.
I have had them for supper and breakfast. And I will have them for supper again! Except, they probably don’t go well with lasagna.
Susan might share the recipe if you asked very very nicely. What are you waiting for? Go ask!
PS Susan, I am pretty sure Thisbe and Betty are cousins.
PPS We have had a thunderstorm every day for the past two weeks.
PPPS Ernesto got his name.
Score! The mail fairy certainly blessed you!
The muffins look divine!
What a fantastic box of goodies! After all the Sad lately I say you totally deserve it and in my book you had every reason to eat it all in one sitting. I admire your self-restraint. The muffins look divine…must bug Susan for the recipe since my wee ones can live off muffins, muffins and soy milk.
Sounds like a wonderful package. And the muffins do look wonderful!
Did you block your FBS yet? Just curious. Waiting to see it’s loveliness.
what a great gift box – and you know, I’m in agreement with Amanda…. I think that if I had been in your shoes, all the chocolate would have been gone in one fell swoop.
yummy lookin’ muffins.
What a great package and those muffins look so good! Let’s keep our fingers crossed that Ernesto doesn’t head our way!
Those muffins look yummy. And I am intrigued by the chocolate. With raspberries? It sounds delicious!

Oh man, those muffins look AMAZING. Speaking of amazing, that’s how I feel about the generosity of some of the folks out there in the cybervoid. People’s kindness never ceases to amaze me.
(Perhaps I should try to practice this mail-order kindness a bit more often myself.)
Oh my gosh!! Girl!! The chocolate! You really must feel like you’re in chocolate heaven. hehe I got some of those Chocolate Love bars to give as gifts but I haven’t had one yet. What a thoughtful friend you have. 🙂
Oh, those muffins look SO good, and chocolate, look at the chocolate! What a great package.
