I have to admit that chocolate is my ultimate passion. My husband is content with that fact because it’s our passion. We love just about anything chocolate and if you offer us a libation that includes chocolate, then we will be happy and all giggles.

My husband came home late yesterday and I thought a little “pick me up” was in order. We have had an extended summer and it had been a scorching hot day.
