I love cinnamon and add it to everything; but prefer the interest value it adds to savory foods, especially stews, curries and chicken dishes. Cinnamon in coffee tastes pretty bitter I've found, and does not dissolve so there is a grainy mouthfeel (unless you are drinking Turkish/Greek coffee that is already grainy). Cocoa powder blends much better. If you try the recipe of prepster's DH let us know what you think
I agree, the packaging is what first drew me to it, it was on the way top shelf at Whole Foods. It almost tastes like hot chocolate...there used to be an Icelandic brand that tasted exactly like hot chocolate but I can't find it anymore.
I'm glad to hear that ^ they said 1-3 days for delivery so hopefully it will be on time (before we move out). They're having a sale right now + free shipping and no tax to the US, I didn't even browse the non-sale section
I was feeling a bit pent-up after trying to not spend any money over the last few weeks, plus this has been the hottest summer I can remember for this area. The summer dress section of my wardrobe was lacking.

I thought I had seen that at Whole Foods!
My husband always teases me because he always wants to go out to eat and I never do. He says, "You only want to go to your favorite restaurant [Whole Foods]".
Hope your dress(es) arrive in time!
Bahaha...that sounds a lot like me and my kids! We have so many food allergies and aversions that the salad bar at WF is our ideal place to eat when we are all together. I mean...it's not really just a "salad" bar, plus they have the ready made food behind the counter. It qualifies as a restaurant IMHO
Thank you! I will post pics here once they arrive.

1000%! I totally agree.
Looking forward to your pics!
Judith Lieber and Nancy Gonzalez make some beautiful belts. They're good with pants but since they're usually on the feminine side, they're perfect for dresses.
This just popped up in my email and I thought the Cafe would be amused by it: https://www.airbnb.com/night-at/paris-catacombs?locale=en
Not for me
Nope.
I did find the Paris Catacombs very interesting when I saw them as a child, I never made a point to go back as an adult, I've grown more sensitive with age.

That's a prettier name than Hibiscus Syriacus. They are so nice in a garden because they often will bloom in late summer when everything else in many places is starting to look tired and bedraggled from the heat. We have one that we forced from bush form to tree form. It looked a little weird for a few years, but it makes a nice small tree.
Have you heard anything about cinnamon having a positive effect on blood sugar? A friend did a whole health assessment at a teaching hospital and the doc that did it recommended they take cinnamon. I thought that was interesting.

My current WF addiction is the Sushi rolls they make with just avocado and cucumber. They roll them with the rice on the outside, and then lightly roll them in sesame seeds. It makes me want to learn to do Sushi. But I'm afraid I couldn't make them look as pretty.
I love ^^
I want to chime in on the chocolate discussion, one of my favorite bars isView attachment 3768850

Today DH brought me this one:View attachment 3768852 which may be a bit too sweet for me, I say "may be" because I ate half of it anyway.
Hands down these are the best I have had as far as a chocolate product that is "good" for you and tastes amazing:

I usually eat a few pieces a day, it helps when the mild blues and is an inexpensive and simple way to reward myself.
Also...has anyone in the cafe shopped at Matches Fashion? I ordered a couple of dresses from them today & I would love to hear how your experience went. I know their packaging is supposed to be impressive & I am a sucker for packaging.
I hope you all are having a lovely week so far!
Thanks SO much for the great recommendations!
Oh yes. I love these rolls. They come with the great peanut sauce. You guys are making me hungry.

If you go to the site, click on the picture that says "House Style" with the picture of Chatsworth. There is a terrific video about a major exhibition sponsored by Gucci, with clothing discovered at Chatsworth. 500 years of fashion. It looks fantastic.

Also, please note that Lady Burlington does not have on one stitch of makeup on. Nothing. Not no-make-up make-up, not a little mascara or lipgloss, nada. I am very impressed with this way of thinking and wish I could do it. It seems to be a very upper-upper English thing to do. Of course I suppose it helps to be, you know, flawless.

She was wearing eye liner, mascara, blush and lipstick. If you go farther into the video and stop it, you can see the make-up.
