TJ’s Things I Love: Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Joe-Joe’s

by Manasi

It’s been a little quiet around here. Apparently two weeks of finals, which involved one week of not sleeping, has made this blog suffer. Anyway, vacation is now here, which means that I have a couple of weeks to enjoy myself and get back to fun things, like tv-watching and blogging.

I definitely feel rejuvinated though. My sister and I were lucky enough to spend five days in sunny Miami. Unfortunately, it wasn’t 80 degree sit on the beach all day weather, but it was low seventies with a breeze type of weather. Either way, it was better than one foot of snow/15 degree weather.

It would be an ideal diet, though, wouldn’t it? Though that may be a dream land where chocolate contains nutrients and doesn’t do anything to your hips, some dishes almost make up for that.

She’s probably who I would like to be when I grow up, but there is no way I will ever be that interesting. Anyway, between her love story and beautiful kids and amazing photography, there isn’t much she can’t do and her cooking is no exception. Unfortunately, since she lives on a cattle ranch and feeds a lot of cowboys, a lot of her recipes are not Rabi friendly, but luckily her ‘cowgirl’ food is.
