Belgian Chocolate


I apologize for all this "food" posting, but when in Brussels, I cannot help but post about my favorite chocolate - "Cote d'Or" which melts in your mouth. This chocolate is sold in many shops as well as "Cote d'Or" shops here in Belgium. I also love the Belgian Waffles, or "Gaufrettes" which are a treat.
We visited the "Atomium" where my mother-in-law was one of the foremost and gorgeous hostesses greeting visitors at the 1958 World's Fair. My children were very proud to see their grandmother's photo as a Hostess. I will post more about that once we are back in the USA.
Leaving for Strasbourg today

The chocolate sounds de-lish. Yum. It's been a long while since I've had chocolate.

Wow, what a great story about your Mother-in-law. [P.S. Love that label, I could see a medium sized painting of it in a room].

Belgiums have the best food! My favorite restaurant here in DC is a belgium bistro that I blogged about a few months past - I'm sure you're eating fabulously!

Safe travels!

Everyone loves Belgian chocolate, don't they?

Robin said...

Did you bring enough chocolate for everyone? You mean we have to share this one?

I hope you will post a pic of your MIL as the lovely hostess. I love vintage photos like that.

Also, a while back you recommended a book to me, Almost French by Sarah Turnbull. I just finished it and I loved it! Thank you!
