Blogger of the Day: Joy at
For the Love of Leaves
One of our most fun friends has a Very Big Birthday next week so we'll be wrapping up two of his favorites...
Irish whiskey and some slabs of "manly" chocolate. No dainty delicately painted truffly sort of things. He likes something hefty with bold complex flavors. Joy's chunks of chocolate, chockfull of sunflower seeds and blueberries, rock a manly profile, plus they're packed with
superpower nutrients. Much appreciated when the Very Big Birthday Boy tipples a little too much whiskey. ;)
