my daily medicine

  I have a constant reliance on chocolate- whether it's Mochas, Oreos, or Dark Chocolate...you can count me in.  Recently I've been lucky enough that the past couple of dinner dates have ended with fondue, truffles, or [heads or tails] oreos.  (Thank you, Charlie!)  Chocolate Bars have become the rage for dates, drinks, and late-night snacking.  Which is perfect for Chocolate lovers out there- it is acceptable, if not recommended, to solely order salted dark chocolate caramels for the main course. In Milwaukee I suggest Indulge, the perfect place to dawn that new dress, or the Chocolat Bar, which is more casual. 

truffle on!

One of the best things about going to school close to home, besides the easy access to free laundry, is that my mother loves to take me out to lunch.  My mom and I went back in time to Watts Tea Room, her favorite childhood restaurant my great-grandmother would take her to.  We enjoyed delicious chicken salad sandwiches and an amazing chocolate coconut torte.  Milwaukee ladies, I recommend bringing your mother here for a cute, inexpensive, bonding experience.
