An ode to chocolate and life

Hello dears,

Sorry I've been away for so long.  I've been insanely busy trying to get projects and papers done and looking for a new place to live...whaaaat?  yes, this weekend I signed the lease on an adorable little apartment in Auburn, AL with my boyfriend!  It's so perfect for us: cute little kitchen, located downtown, within walking distance to everything, and best of all- it's got a spiral staircase leading up to a loft bedroom.  I'm so in love with the place.  I can't wait to move in and take pictures to show y'all.  (Not until Aug. 12 though...BLAST!)

A couple weeks ago I took a little road trip to Asheville with my lovely friend Penelope.  I've been wanting to do a post about a place we found called the French Broad Chocolate Lounge ever since we got back...and finally...here it is.

This place was so completely perfect.  We went around ten at night and there was live music (accordion and violin....awesome), and great atmosphere, low lighting, mixed tables and chairs...and the smell when you walk in was just delicious.  They have an awesome menu item called the liquid truffle (we tried the lavender and honey one)--IT WAS AMAZING.  Seriously, it's basically just the thickest, most decadent hot chocolate you will ever taste.  I love, love, love it.

           

We also tried the chocolate, peanut butter mousse, also delicious.  I would absolutley recommend checking this place out if you're ever in Asheville.  They also have chocolates available online here.

The truffles look so yummmy!  They're a little pricey, but so worth it.

                     

Anyway, I'm hoping to be back a lot more with posts.  I'm also looking for a job, so I'll keep y'all updated (probably only if it's something cool though). haha.  I'd love to work at EarthFare for the summer and have time to write.  Ahhhh, writing.  

Have a yummy night!
