Chocolate Paradise

Whether it's this delicious little chocolate brown hat created by my dear auntie.... or the scrumptious bars that just came out of my oven, chocolate reigns supreme (as they say in Kitchen Stadium).... Allez Cuisine??? Is that the rest of it?? Today was a wild blast of student flurry match the snow pelting outside. We had called off yesterday a bit prematurely since temps never really slid below freezing despite the forecast. So today, come you know what or high water we went. I actually needed a day with my kiddos since I'd been gone. Tomorrow (actually later today) is parent teacher conferences for mid term. Think of me from 1 until 6.... I actually enjoy them... I have taught in this same system since 1975... so most of the parents I had as students.... It makes me feel so grounded (no, not old... just grounded... haha...)
