Nichole's Fine Pastry - Chocolate Truffles

Here's the progression of events since I arrived home from work this afternoon:

1. Pet the dogs

2. Tear off my work clothes and put on sweats (hey, at seven months pregnant, this baby needs to breathe)

3. Check the mail

4. Discover a box of chocolate truffles from Nichole's Fine Pastry in my mailbox.

5. Do a happy dance.

6. Taste-test by inhaling two truffles. (They passed inspection.)

NPR has a lovely February fundraiser where you donate to your local station, and they send you truffles. Whoever thought of this fundraiser is my kind of woman! Since my membership was due anyway, I figured it's a win/win/win. Happy V-day...to me!

If you haven't been there yet, please stop in Nichole's Fine Pastry in downtown Fargo. Bring a friend, preferably one that has the positive qualities of a) providing good conversation and b) not counting calories - they usually go hand-in-hand. After admiring the gorgeous display case, order two coffees and a sweet nibble, sit down, and enjoy the moment.
