Thankful for Chocolates

 

We have a major new outlets center in Montgomery County, Maryland and it opened just in time for holiday shopping. Dolores have been to the Clarksburg Premium Outlets a couple of times and it will become a regular shopping destination. 

One of my favorite stores is the Lindt Chocolate Shop and we just took advantage of the current sale to purchase some gift chocolates. I love their products and am glad that they are now in this convenient location. If you enjoy chocolates, you should visit one of their stores.

ActiveRain Ambassador Debbie Reynolds is sponsoring one of the November contests for member bloggers and has asked us to write daily blogs about things for which we are thankful. You still have time to enter this contest.

Roy Kelley - good to know about the Lindt store - I stopped by quickly at the outlets and did a piece on their opening - but I was with my husband and clearly the outlets were not a priority for him that day!

Check the Lindt website for the current sale and you will want to register for their incentive program.

Roy Kelley - I definitely will sign up for that with Lindt- in our business having a less expensive source of fine chocolates is a wonderful thing to have!

I have a love-hate relationship with chocolate.  I almost never buy them for myself.  I know a moment on the lips is forever on the hips.  But, if chocolates comes into my existence, I'm powerless against them.

Roy,

We certainly are.  We have made it a mission in life to keep tasting 85%plus chocolate all over the world.  It is part of our daily diet with a high minimum requirement.  A

Hi Roy! Chocolate is wonderful and healthy. Have not seen a Lindt shop here. It is sold in the nearby supermarkets. 75% dark with salted almonds...yummy!

I enjoy a very dark chocolate and it is so good for your health. Giving it makes great gifts, too.

Dolores and I also prefer dark chocolates. It is a good time for you to post some of your dessert recipes.
