For the next several days I will be posting about the World Congress of Families. This year it is being held in Sydney, Australia.  Remember how we helped to raise funds for Angela to attend? She is sending daily reports of the presentations, interviews she is able to have, and more. I am excited to share with you what she is experiencing. There are so many around the world - politicians, religious leaders, community organizers, trained professionals, and others - who are dedicated to defending the family. I will try to post each day's events in order so you are not reading them backwards as you scroll down. I have broken up Angela's summaries into several posts so it isn't overwhelming to see a HUGE post. Remember, if you have any questions you would like her to ask when she gives her interviews, leave them in the comments and I will pass them along to her.

The Ticket Kitchen Fine Hot Chocolate {Giveaway}

I said I was giving away things I love and use! You knew chocolate had to be a part of it somehow, right? One constant my family can guarantee is I drink a cup of hot chocolate every single night - including the summertime. Just yesterday we had a huge downpour of rain that immediately cooled the temps and the first thing I said was "Good excuse to drink hot chocolate!" No kidding.

Amber from the Giver's Log came up with an ingenius idea a few years ago to create hot chocolate on a stick Part of the whole experience of hot chocolate is the satisfaction of stirring. The idea grew to become The Ticket Kitchen were gourmet chocolate is crafted into perfect single sized hot chocolate servings. I have given these as gifts and ordered them for myself. And while I have made some on my own using the recipe Amber shared there's something to be said for expertly handled gourmet chocolate. It is one of my indulgences every now and then.

My favorite flavors are Salted Caramel and Venezuelan Bittersweet {I like my chocolate dark. The darker the better!}although the 3-Chili is pretty delicious too!

The Ticket Kitchen is giving away a $20 gift card! What flavor do you want to try? Leave a comment answering that question and enter using the rafflecopter.

  4. You had me at "salted caramel." It's a flavor I've discovered only in the last year and I feel like I wasted the first 20-something years of hot chocolate consumption;)

  44. Oh my. I think we were friends in another life. I just found you and I too, think that hot chocolate is the perfect nightcap!

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. ☺ There, don't you feel better?

Please leave a comment! I enjoy hearing your thoughts, whether you agree with me or not. If we all agreed on everything how boring would that be? Worse than eating white chocolate, because it's fake. So be real, be yourself.
