Cocoa & Co.

This week we went to Vosges and it was a good place to be on a chilly April evening. The above picture is actually their Chicago store, but you get the idea - purple reigns supreme at Vosges. They have three different kinds of hot chocolate to choose from. I should have taken notes because I can't remember their names, but you could get a Mexican hot chocolate with cinnamon that was a little spicy, or a white chocolate, or a hot chocolate with vanilla bean. Needless to say, I chose the last one. It was very good, and although I feared the vanilla taste (why is chocolate ever diluted with vanilla? It's so wrong), it was just chocolaty and oh so good. Vosges serves their cocoa in tall thin glasses, and while I appreciated the novelty, they were quite hot to hold. Still, I would be very happy to give Vosges my patronage again, any time. Delightful. And look at these bunnies! As you know, I don't normally partake in plain chocolate (I like to mix things up), but these little guys are so cute, I'm almost tempted...
