i’m about to disappear down a tunnel of work again. only seven pages into an annual report layout, and my head has gone spongy, and my eyes are a-twitchin’. but do not worry, there is pearl jam in the background, a large cup of almond tea to the right of me, and to my left…

an adorable mini chocolate kugelhopf from lüneburger. it is a rich burst of cocoa for a mid-afternoon slump, moist and just a little bit sticky (awful in late summer weather but just about perfect in a cake). and scattered here and there, chocolate chips. such a tiny treat! and at $2, quite the cheap thrill.
