my love of choc orange continues! this picture reminded me of my blogging brain food tonight... two pieces of thin dark chocolate with orange and almond pieces. ah, heaven! i also had a green tea with jasmine and pear which was lovely. i am house (and cat!) sitting at ash and john's again this weekend and so must not eat all of their chocolate while i'm here! i love their place. it inspires me to own my own home and have the freedom to paint walls, hang art and scatter as many cushions as i like! oh, and of course i could have my very own little kitty! now, back tracking a little bit here but i have a story about one of my favourite forms of choc orange... jaffas! i think i've spoken about them on my blog before and how they always remind me of my childhood. mum would save us some each time she went to the movies and i still think that is so thoughtful and sweet. when we were in new zealand we went into a cute chocolate shop and i learned that dark chocolate orange balls are actually from new zealand! well they were claiming them anyway! naturally i got a little bag of very large choc orange balls, even eating some on the plane home very early in the morning! every year in dunedin lots of jaffas are raced down baldwin street, which is the world's steepest street. i only learned this fun fact tonight and funnily enough... we walked up and down that very street when we were in dunedin for a couple of hours before our flight and i had the chocolates in my bag at the time! it might sound silly but i just love little coincidences like this, even more so when you find out after the fact!
