Meme
I'm playing along here. I was tagged by Jen over at Life Begins @ Thirty. This is a learning experience for me as I know a meme as something else, but that's a different story. What is the total number of music files on your computer? All on an external hard drive, don't be silly. Why is this limited to music?! I have more music on my IPOD than I know how to manage and access. In fact right now I'm in Playlist hell. I think it's because I listen to music based on my mood and at times the groove I want to be in. So that being in addition to music I also have NPR programs (Studio 360, This American Life, The Splendid Table) and several Audiobooks in progress: CandyFreak; The Master and The Julia Child biography (the woman narrating it sounds oddly like a sister to Julia). What is the last CD you bought? Yes. Yes. I have not moved on beyond U2's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. I could write pages on this collection.

Treats
After completing the chocolate series this week I had a few odds and ends remaining that I thought merited sharing. Although a bit late for Valentine's Day these gifts are suitable for any time of the year: Chocolate Smarts Game - a box of 60 question and answer cards such as 'Which cocoa beans are the best?'; 'What's the best way to melt chocolate?' and What country consumes the most chocolate?' Guaranteed to raise your chocolate IQ. ($16.95) ChocoWit - each individually wrapped Belgian chocolate contains a special message. There are over a 100 different messages to collect. (12 pieces; $19.50) Woodhouse Chocolate - is the latest indulgence from Napa of small-batch handmade chocolates. The box reminds me of a bit of the Laduree Bonaparte macaroon box. The couple behind the nearly two year old chocolatier was inspired by the film, 'Chocolat' starring Juliette Binochet. A One pound-box of mixed chocolates will be sure to delight at $48.
