Welcome Home

I've blogged before about Paticceria Gelateria Italiana (where Christina and I got that loving feeling last November). And I've blogged about my friends Julie and Amirali (who have since generously delivered a large tin of individually-wrapped Gaz candy).

Well, at our long-awaited housewarming last night, Julie and Amirali brought us a load of treats from Paticceria Gelateria Italiana, which happens to be smack-dab in the middle of Julie's new neighborhood. First was a shiny chocolate fish and a pair of love mice, complete with chocolate ganache bodies, almond ears, and dark brown eyes. Then came a cardboard box filled with piped butter cookies in orange, mocha, coconut, chocolate.

I feel utterly spoiled and, as always, grateful for dear friends.
