For the Love of Chocolate on Teapot Tuesday

22 Comments/ 91/ 1

If you know me at all you know that I love dark chocolate. Couple that with a teapot theme and oh my goodness – life doesn’t get much better.

Chris shopped local for Mother’s Day this year and picked up this little beauty at our local chocolate shop in Brevard – Downtown Chocolates.

The chocolate did not disappoint. It was pretty darn yummy and of course I shared with Chris. We haven’t eaten it all yet – I am pacing myself. Don’t you think this was the perfect gift for me?

If I, the boiling water,
And you, the tea;
Then your fragrance
Has to depend solely upon my plainness….
I have to be hot, even boiled
Before we consume each other….
~Dominic Cheung (Chang Ts’o), Drifting

      It is really good chocolate. And I politely shared with Chris since he was so sweet to get it for me.

    The gift really shows Chris pays attention. I must say though that with me, especially with dark chocolate covered ginger, I rarely use the phrase “pace myself”.

      Oh my goodness–I agree. Dark chocolate and ginger is quite a combo! I love everything dark chocolate and this hasn’t stood a chance with me but I have shared it with him. 🙂

    Super cute tea pot. What a clever way to shape chocolate. Apparently we will eat it in any shape.
