HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  
 
 

THINGS I ATE:

6.  Best of Soup Appetizer at The Chart House Restaurant. The perfect appetizer for this soup lover who wanted to try ALL the soups on the menu. Three perfect tasting size portions, in a beautiful formation of ramekins, included a New England style Clam Chowder, a sherry kissed Lobster Bisque and a chilled Gazpacho.

5.  Jersey Devil Chocolates.  I have tried a lot of spicy sweet chocolate bars and products from all over the world but this brand knocked out the competition.  Dark chocolate, chipotle chili and cranberries are combined in a delicate balance of exquisite goodness.  I found Jersey Devil Chocolates to be the ultimate chocolate bar / candy treat this year.  Continue reading →
