I was reminiscing yesterday about the huge Holiday dinners we used to host at our house while the kids were growing up.

Lately I have been spending time visiting a friend on the upper west side of Manhattan. Her apartment is located just around the block from the sophisticated luxury chocolate shop, Jacque Torres. I always stop in for a latte and to feast my fantasies on the rich selection of artful confections offered there.
