1. My parents threw John and me a [coed!] baby shower down in PA this weekend, and it was lovely! It was really more like a party with friends and family than a traditional baby shower; full of good food and great company =).

6 more weeks to go until our little girl is due to come!

2. The incredibly generous guys of Santa Barbara Chocolate Co.?sent me a package chock full of fantastic chocolate items to try out.

Included in the mix:

• One 3 lb (!) bag of organic dark chocolate baking discs
• One 3 lb (!) bag of cocoa powder
• Four 3.5 oz organic chocolate bars (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate mocha, & extra dark chocolate)
• Four 1.25 oz organic chocolate bars (2 each milk chocolate & dark chocolate)
• One 20 count box of chocolates

So far everything I have sampled has ? of course ? been delectable. Thank you SO MUCH Justin and Jason for the fabulous collection of chocolate goodies! I can?t wait to use some of them to bake this holiday season? the rest will be eaten as snacks/desserts ;).

3. Along with being thrilled that Obama was elected back into office for a second term, I?m also giddy that there will be no more political campaign ads. It seemed like there were a lot more this year than other election years, and I will NOT miss them.

4. I made Baked Sweet Potato Chips?for The Back Burner this week, and they were gooood.

Sure, it takes a little bit of prep work, but the resulting crispy chips are so worth it. Head on over to get the recipe!
