Just Bobbing Along

A night out, time shared with friends, thoughtful trinkets, and a little chocolate made our Valentine's Day especially sweet. This was dessert at one of our favorite restaurants. The Mister and I always order just one and share it. The straws are rolled edible white and dark chocolate-- I can't tell you how amazing this mousse is. Besides all that goodness, we did manage to get some work done and successfully swapped out computers over the weekend. Mine desperately needed a make-over and was complaining loudly. (Think it had totally assumed my personality!) I'm still getting used to the new keyboard along with my new glasses; hitting the backspace button more than usual and feeling tipsy, like being on a small boat that's about to heave you overboard. But, please, pay no attention. It's a work in progress. Oh, and do you like my new blog banner? I'm finding that, like shoes, I want new ones for every occasion.

Love your elegant new banner.
Your desert is right up my alley...trouble is it would stay on my hips for a long time.
Congratulations on your new computer...I agree computers take on the personality of their owners...although I have a hard time believing that you ever complain loudly ;)

That dessert looks ever so delicious. Now I'm thinking about seeking a source for edible chocolate straws to buy to make a similar dessert at home.

There seems to be a big computer breakdown thing going on lately with lots of folks. I just got my laptop back from being rebuilt. Amazing how non-acess to the Internet drove me crazy. It made me realize my true dependence on the virtual world of information.

I will check back to see what's "up your sleeve". Can't wait! The chocolate mousse looks incredible! I want some!!!

Posted by: Shannon | February 17, 2009 at 11:52 AM

...singin' a song. On the bottom of the beautiful briney, shimmery shiney...(Is that the song you were quoting? If not, oops!)

That dessert looks delicious!
