Chocolate + Sea Salt

My hubs is away on business and now I am remembering why I was so much fatter as a single person. BOREDOM will make you eat a shitload of chocolate.

Not just any old chocolate but, Lindt’s A Touch of Sea Salt dark chocolate. If you like chocolate covered pretzels, you will love this. Within a few seconds the salty flakes hit your tongue and WOW! You are hooked.

It’s actually incredibly satisfying, normally I dont eat more than one square. But with no one around watching….yummy yummy yummy.

Mad props to anyone whose husband travels for work. It sucks. Oh and even bigger props if you aren’t a heffer.

I feel for you, Nicole, and I totally agree…boredom—> snacking in not a good way. My husband is out of town most weekdays and if it wasn’t for the boys – the 3yo and the 8mo – I would be grazing at 8pm instead of nodding off. Yummy Lindt combo…Fran’s also makes a dark chocolate and salt thin that is so good. Somehow eating a “thin” piece of chocolate feels less decadent (total lie to myself).

Omg so funny you just posted this. My rush to get downtown prevented me from telling you that Ronny is in Chicago listening to David speak.

I would send you some, Nicole. Am in the Seattle area, so I am super close to Fran’s (not good/not good/not good). But at the risk of them arriving to you in a total blob I might have to wait until the weather cools!

Strangest thing happened today and it is too funny, I found those outdoor stools I was asking you about, the exact ones you posted in your surfboard-scape! At Ikea, it was totally weird, they were right by the register and I saw them out of the corner of my eye. I was there to pick up a new cheap-o high chair, after watching my 8mo almost launch out of his Trip Trap high chair I decided that I couldn’t deal anymore. Am going to convert it back to the toddler chair for my 3yo. The stools were $30/each. Not bad. I always spend too much money at Ikea and Target. What a coincedence.

Ok. So number one I love that Ikea high chair. I have it at my moms house and it’s much better than the peg perego I have at home. People are actually talking about that right now on la la lovely.

Number 2, those stools were in Lonny today!! Go lookthrough I think they were in the apartment Thats a model apt.

So so happy you found them. I really think they are awesome.

Then the stools were doubly meant to be! Wow, I missed those in the apartment shot in Lonny, I’ll go take a look now. That’s so great to hear you like using that Ikea high chair and what a good review. I just saw it on Ikea’s website and thought I’d try it out for boy #2. My mom bought me the Trip Trapp for #1 and although it worked alright I was never totally happy with it. Considering the price she paid I am so not happy with it!!

Thanks again, Nicole, you’re super sweet.

Seconding the Fran’s rec–PLUS THEY HAVE CARAMEL.

Also, Vosges’ Barcelona bar marries sea salt and almonds. Yes yes y’all.

Hubs doesn’t travel but works long hours. That combined with moving to a location that bums me out is my excuse for the size of my ass.
