It's Love All Over Again

 

"Chocolate introduced me to Heaven."

~Anthony T. Hincks

Recently, I found out that not only am I allergic to pecans, I am allergic to almonds as well. I found out by way of a Hershey's with Almonds bar. UGH, a negative chocolate encounter, who needs that? I should cut back on my chocolate consumption anyway, but seriously, I am on my last nerve about things. But at the end of the day, sigh, chocolate cures a lot of evil. You already know about Trump, but now the car broke down, and who the HELL knows when the part to fix it, will arrive. It's already been 5 days. That means no birding, which is the thing that keeps me sane! And lets not forget the frequent fog of January! One day, not too long ago, I ate a half a bag on the plain Hershey's kisses, but only to balance the anger, sadness, bewilderment, and you get the idea, you probably felt it all too. And then the car took a dump!

I grabbed a bag of Hershey Kisses with Almonds, and ate a few fistfuls. A short time later, I broke out in hives. My body itched to a silly degree, but I survived, and now I know! But there was always the plain kisses, and because I now had an additional reason to bury my feelings in a bag of chocolate, I dug in with both hands. And I'm NOT SORRY! But funny thing, I hadn't had Hershey's plain chocolate in years. Previously when I indulged, it was usually Sees Candies. But unfortunately, Sees has became really expensive in the last few years, and even more expensive since Trump. Hershey's has seen a price hike as well! I can't believe how much a candy bar costs! Anyway, I forgot how amazingly delicious just a bit of their plain chocolate was! And now it's a tiny obsession? Or love rekindled? Who knows?

 I promise to try to cut back on. Seriously, I can stop anytime I want.

I found this recipe for, German Chocolate Cake, on the Hershey's website.
 It looks delicious! I think I'll try it!

Cinnamon Pecans

 
 
 
It's the first day of Autumn! 
 A time of hot chocolatey mornings,
 and toasty marshmallow evenings,
 and, best of all, leaping into leaves!

Well, it's not really the first day of Autumn, it's actually closer to the end of Autumn, but I feel the urge to bake this time of year, so I present to you, Cinnamon Pecans. Other than the Thanksgiving meal I tag-teamed with Hubby on, this is my first trip into the holiday baking realm. If you also don't count the monster cakelets I made for Halloween. I think the next might be, well, you'll just have to stay tuned.
