Tarocco Orange Zest & Dark Chocolate Kisses



I love hanging out in a café - -
I have spent many hours at Starbucks [I know, I know I hear you ok some of you and will get back to this] finding that for sure cup of coffee with my favorite road tripper Tom, hanging out with my friends, playing chess with my dad, or just by myself in a big, soft, comfy chair listening to my music, reading, doodling in my book, writing a letter to a friend, thinking, staring off into space, people watching, and just being - with an Americano or endless cup of tea on the table by my side - total happiness!
There is something about the atmosphere of a cafe and here is where we get back to Starbucks. We do have to give them total credit for figuring out the art of taking places like a round used to be a tile store or even an old gas station and providing us with a familiar comfortable place to plop down and hang.
Definitely, there are other solid cafes and when I get some time back I think checking out some new venues is a project that I must take on.
This love of the cafe atmosphere is why I am in the process of transforming my front room in to The Wildflower Cafe. Although, still a virtual cafe I felt possessed to create an atmosphere that you enter in to when picking up your baked goods and spending time perusing the art and craft section. And, I get to hang there too!
So, about the Tarocco orange zest that was spraying across the counter and the dark chocolate kisses adorning the peanut butter blossoms [and absolutely brilliant the individuals that bumped into each other to create the peanut butter and chocolate combination] - these were some of the smells and flavors of the first week at The Wildflower Cafe. 
There are some pretty cool stories, too. 
Thank you to everyone for making the first week most memorable!
I am thinking that I may need to search out that big comfy chair for my cafe ; )
