Another word about politics in a way. I am surprising myself. 

The wonderful part of living in Napa Valley is the abundance of beautiful food, wine, art and people. Saturday evening, Jonathan and I were treated to an exquisite meal by friends - winemaker, Alison Crowe, and photographer, Chris Purdy. Alison is a winemaker and has written a great rich book called "The Winemakers Answer Book" and Chris takes wonderful pictures (one graces our walls I am proud to say).

There were many highlights of the evening but a special one was when Alison served us Obama's head on pieces of decadent chocolate. The chocolate was not some novelty - it was a dense luscious handmade piece from another acquaintance, Doralice, who owns The Cheese Shop in Healdsburg. As I bit into my chocolate I exclaimed in my blissful state, " I highly recommend the Obama."

Oh what a night.
