Artisian chocolates, if you haven't noticed (you poor soul) are everywhere. Valentines Day is impending, love is in the air, and Whitman's Samplers with frilly lace on the front just ain't going to cut it if your paramour happens to be a true blue foodie. Thankfully, Sacramento's own Ginger Elizabeth chocolates provides a delightfully convenient (and tasty) solution to the dilemma. Well, if you live here, that is.
Ginger Elizabeth herself - who first began her chocolate wholesale company as a merestripling of 24 - often mans the boutique on L Street during opening hours, and can be seen feverishly making, packaging, and promoting the goods. The retail store sells super high end hot chocolate (including a Oaxacan spicy variety), coffee, baked goods, and an assortment of other chocolatey delights.
From left to right: hazelnut praline, toasted coconut, raspberry, palet d' or (dark chocolate), chewy lavender caramel, orange jasmine tea.
And what chocolates they are. Sure, the uniform square shapes may not possess as much visual hot-damn as some other fancy chocolate makers, but the intense and original flavors within those little cubes will make up for any perceived lack. (And I rather like the slick long boxes they come in). Elizabeth makes everything from scratch and carefully infuses her ganache centers with various flavor essences, avoiding the use of preservatives. That means they don't keep: eat em' when you get em'. These puppies aren't cheap, however: a six piece box goes for $12.00.
I particularly enjoyed the chewy and floral salted lavender caramel, the intensively tropical passion fruit (a perennial favorite in this family) and the highly complex and perfumed Orange Jasmine Tea. But you're not going to get a nasty white nougat or rock-hard caramel in this assortment, thank God.

the macarons over there are the bomb, too.
Wettervorhersage is a set of all the phenomena occurring in a given atmosphere at a given time. Most weather phenomena occur in the troposphere, just below the stratosphere. weather almanac refers, generally, to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity, whereas climate is the term for the average atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time. When used without qualification, "weather" is understood to be the weather of Earth.

Hey.
A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels those deposits into lending activities. Bank primarily provide financial services to customers while enriching investors. Government restrictions on financial activities by bank vary over time and location. Banks are important players in financial markets and offer services such as investment funds and loans. In some countries such as Germany, bank have historically owned major stakes in industrial corporations while in other countries such as the United States bank are prohibited from owning non-financial companies. In Japan, banks are usually the nexus of a cross-share holding entity known as the keiretsu. In France, bancassurance is prevalent, as most banks offer insurance services (and now real estate services) to their clients.
The level of government regulation of the banking industry varies widely, with countries such as Iceland, having relatively light regulation of the banking sector, and countries such as China having a wide variety of regulations but no systematic process that can be followed typical of a communist system.[url=http://projectcontrol.v3host.nl]CLICK HERE[/url]
