Nothing says winter like whiskey and chocolate.

There's something about the layering of bourbon and chocolate into a nostalgic shape.  It just warms the heart (and belly) in such a pleasing manner.  Here's a big thanks to Orangette for the recipe, we won't mention my internet crush on her blog.  I join the interwebs in singing her praise.

Day One - P365

Today marks the launch of my own Project 365.  A personal challenge to take at least one photograph a day, to be posted online as a record to myself and others.  Why February 20?  Why not?  Symbolic days seem to have come and go without much action on my part, so perhaps a softer grand opening is in order.    My goal is to force both the creative and technical sides of my brain into a daily workout on my new (to me) Canon Rebel XS SLR, rather than my daily workhouse (Monsieur iPhone) which gets fairly hard use but is less capable or flexible.

One important note.  I'm still deciding upon where to deposit all 365 of these.  Flickr.com and 500px.com seem to be the front runners, with deviantArt.com a distant third.  Stay posted for a decision.

Sometimes you need a headrest.
