To feed each other is to demonstrate our love and affection and a treat makes everything better. A glass of wine after a shitty day, a little chocolate or a wedge of beautiful gooey washed rind cheese because I deserve it.

The beauty of croissants
Nothing says decadent brunch more then a croissant, the flakey buttery sensation in your mouth. The crumbs that cascade over the plate, your lap and down your top as you take the first bite. I prefer mine loaded with brie, fresh tomato and a little sprinkle of salt and pepper… mmmmmm heaven.
Gifts of affection
