Dearest Donna,

Besides reading your post about 'The Discovery of Chocolate' I figured out that you too have silver rose cutlery! Hence the button to Johanna's book. Did you know that you can point to her English page as well? http://www.rosen-bestecke.de/Thebook1.html This will point you to it and maybe you could change your button as well. She might get more buyer interest in English...

Lots of love,

Mariette

Thank you Mariette for the help! I changed the link on Johanna's beautiful book to the English page! AND I added a note for everyone to click on my link to go to "The Discovery of Chocolate"... Hugs to you, Donna

Hi Donna, I'm glad you reposted because I did not see the first post! I LOVE chocolate! And your lily chocolate mold is so special. Wouldn't you like a chocolate made in it? Can you believe I have never seen "Chocolat?" I know it would be just my "cup of tea" but I'm always outvoted on the movie selection here. I'll look for it! And thanks for the link to Johanna's book! Stay warm and dry. Linda

Hi Donna, Thank you so much for your email and I signed up as a follower and it must of been meant as I love your blog and your Valentine post is" to die for" I love it and they are all so beautiful, I'm going to blog thank everyone that helped after the weekend as Networked blogs seems to take awhile to load them, someone else let me know this morning thaat they did and it just now showed up on my blog page under the Networked blogger widget, they are very slow I guess because they are fairly new. Hugs to you my new bloggy friend! xo Marilou

The snow looks even deeper in this fabulous picture!! Love it.

I need some chocolate molds like that! That lily is to die for. I have some antique chocolate bunny molds. An ice cream store here was decorated with them and my friend bought me some. She went back to get herself some and they wouldn't sell them to her. I felt very fortunate.

That chocolate colored cup and saucer are absolutely gorgeous. Anything would taste better in that.

I love this photo and your chocolate molds...they are so unique. All that snow makes for a pretty picture, all our ice does too...but, it certainly makes for a long winter!

I once had a set of cards that said "Save the earth.....eat more chocolate".

Beautiful post today from a lovely lady.

I'm headed out today to buy the ingredients for Chocolate Lava Cakes, posted on http://ciaochowlinda.blogspot.com/2011/02/chocolate-lava-cakes-and-tv-makeover.html

My husband and I enjoyed a similar dessert while in Iceland this fall and I haven't been able to get it off my mind! Chocolate has a way of doing this to a person!!
