CHOCLAT SIN..# 11

AH, SIMPLICITY! SOMETIMES A LITTLE TENDER MORSEL will do you. Think of this as a something you'd really like to share. Sweet and refined at the same time. A light wine....also, good, strong espresso, with a twist of lemon, perhaps. I think this is good at tea time. Tea served from my Grandmother's samovar, the one she said the Tzarina gave her when she stopped at Rashkov....

Grandmother? In my family we all have vivid imaginations!
