Rich Indulgences

Since we moved to Massachusetts Lowell and I have been looking for a dessert and coffee shop to replace Baked Expectations, I think we might have finally found it. The Black Sheep does not offer cheesecake but I have found nothing wrong with the other sweets that they offer. Last night I had a Chocolate Eruption (rich and melt in your mouth) with a Vanilla Almond tea (I didn’t realize that they would be so enjoyable together) and to top it all off I finished reading C.S. Lewis’s “Till We Have Faces”. This is one of those times when I need a book club. “Till We Have Faces” is described as Lewis’s adult novel, it reads very simply, the story itself is nothing dramatic. However I picked it up looking for Lewis’s themes in keeping with “The Chronicles of Narnia” and I was not disappointed, maybe I wasn’t perceptive enough to find it earlier in the story, but it is impossible to miss it at the end. I still have some questions that I would love to discuss, but I have enough food for thought to percolate for awhile. I am not sure who to recommend this book to, I could see people not liking it and yet I think that it is worth the read. So to anyone wanting to read a rich book here is one for you, since I am not recommending it to you personally I take no ownership if you do not like it.
