National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day

Well... Today has been a bit of a doozie. 
I've been couch ridden with a pretty awful migraine, 
and unfortunately for me we have a teething toddler and a teething infant, 
so not really a quiet day for mama, but that's alright now. 
All of the Calendar Kids are in bed and The Duke is being super awesome 
and tackling the mountains of folding that I was unable to get to like I wanted today. 

Not only is he doing that, but he also was instrumental in making this post happen.
He reminded me that we're a team and that anything we take on
work, children, and even blogs. 
So, I dedicate this post to him, 
my wonderful, loving, amazing husband, and teammate. 

Today was 
National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day 
and I was half tempted to tell him to skip the drama of making them 
from scratch and hit up the Valentine's Day candy that's already making it's way into stores...
Actually, I may or may not have said that 
before he left to go to the pharmacy. 

He gave me the look, 
then proceeded to create this,
and take the pictures. 

How pretty are these cherries?!

Mmmmm melted chocolate!


The Duke did a great job! They were delicious!!! 

Tomorrow is 
National Spaghetti Day 
and I'm hoping I can convince The Duke to make his 
signature from scratch sauce while I watch 
and maybe, just maybe let me share the recipe. 
Fingers crossed friends... Married a decade and I don't have it yet. LOL

  3. Those look good. I was thinking more of the cordial cherries, but these look better.

  9. Chocolate covered cherries is one of my favorite treats. I like strawberries, too, but there is just something so much better about a nice, ripe, not too sweet, not too tart cherry.
