I'm about two weeks overdue on my blog (I try to post about the 15th of each month), and I'm too tired to think of something clever, pithy or even close to interesting. So I'm cheating.

Em giving Meg bunny ears as we "Make Your Own Chocolate" from a kit by Verve, Inc. The kit costs about $13 and they tie it into information about where they get their ingredients in Costa Rica. Pretty good chocolate, too. More on that next time.
