black beans and chocolate tradition

I deem it to be a new habit. They were a little more effort than I generally agree to, but sooo worth it. my initial reaction wasn't so great--but these things cold are dreamy. & what a great way to feel sinless (ignoring, of course, the egg & butter content).

Thanks dear friend, for sharing the recipe from here. We've always agreed on sweets...

And did you remember how easy it is to be creative? all you need is paper & scissors--maybe less. Anyway, i dare you to make a snowflake & i bet you'll feel a little giddy at the simplicity of creating something sweetly & satisfyingly adorable. What a delicate way to decorate January windows (even if it's 60 on the other side).

added disclaimer 1.21.10: I just got this article about Agave Nectar from a friend...
