Finished chocolate has relatively few ingredients: cacao, cocoa
butter, possibly sugar, and milk powder. Noticeably absent is water.
Cacao, sugar, and milk powder are very attractive to water but are

Lavender is a color, a fragrance, a flavor, and a plant. It is one of 47 species of the mint family and found around the world. It is usually a compact plant no more than two feet tall. The small, slender leaves are a soft dusty green to light green. Hidcote, also known as English Lavender, is readily available and loved for its deep purple-blue flowers and pungent fragrance.

Inner Harbor Village, nestled in the same woods that surround the Bay Club, was built in 1990 and has 46 condominium units—nine duplexes and seven fourplexes that look and feel like individual homes. There’s a lot of natural landscaping, huge trees, and access to the bay. It’s common to see river otters and seals down by the water’s edge and, of course, the ever-present deer and raccoons that like to wander the grounds. This neighborhood even boasts its own pair of tiny islands. Twin Islands is within hiking distance from the gazebo, but you can only reach the first island by foot if it’s low tide. Just try not to step on the oysters, please!
