platinum blonde sanskrit with manorama

lemme direct your yogic attention to a great three-part workshop with manorama at yoga people in bklyn. long-time readers know i'm a big fan of her hypnotic cd, which i've written about before.

this sanskrit chant workshop takes places over 3 thursdays from 8pm to 9:30pm monthly on jan. 22, feb. 12, and mar. 18. you can pre-register for US$15 or pay US$20 at the door.

call 718-522-9642 to reserve your place; i believe the workshop is limited to 20 people.

i myself would love to go, but it's just too late in the evening for me, alas. so feel free to call and take my spot!

this morning is the coldest in the nine years i have now lived in new york: 1 degree f. thus i was happy to comfort myself with a cappuccino of gimme's platinum blonde espresso blend.

this i followed up with by selecting an exquisite dark chocolate leaf filled with fennel-infused ganache from richard donnelly. if you're not eating his chocolates, you have no idea what chocolate can be, frankly. every year his work becomes more refined.

surprisingly, the fennel complemented the notes of the platinum blonde well. i had planned to polish off the remaining goose liver paté with black truffles for breakfast, but in truth, i'd rather savor richard's chocolate. . .
