Chocolat Frey Tryazon Parties


This was an unusual Tryazon Party, to be sure!!  Because of the restrictions imposed as a result of COVID19, we could not have a large, indoor party, as we would have done in the past.  Instead, we improvised, and managed to share the delicious Chocolat Frey with at least 10 adults (and perhaps 4 children!).

We began our share by taking  one of each type of chocolate and some coupons to my son's house a couple hundred miles away, where we met my other son and his girlfriend. After a quick lunch, we all sampled the candy, and shared our opinions. They were happy to learn that Chocolat Frey is available at Wegman's, their favorite store! Of course, they were happy to keep the leftovers and the coupons for future purchases.




My girlfriends and I enjoyed a picnic on our patio, with proper social distancing, and lots of finger foods. The chocolates paired well with strawberries, hard cheeses and rose wine. 







In order to share with more people, I made little thank-you bundles from the packages that were yet unopened, with thank you notes to my neighbors who are first responders.  Each had at least two different types of Chocolat Frey, and some coupons.  These were left on their dorrsteps, and were very much appreciated!!





The people with whom I shared the Chocolat Frey personally liked it very much. My son and his girlfriend loved the blond crunchy nut bar, and praised it for being loaded with nuts, and not too sweet. It reminded them of a candy that they used to love but hadn't had in many years.

My girlfriends preferred chocolate -- one loves dark chocolate, and she, too, was amazed at the number of nuts in each bite. But they both compared the chocolates to their favorite Swiss brand, and thought that Chocolat Frey was not as creamy or rich. We all loved the dark chocolate, and its rich, dense chocolate flavor, and it paired beautifully with our cheese and wine picnic!

Everyone was impressed that the chocolates come from a sustainable company, and that Frey cares about its sources and the area from which the beans are produced. They liked that it was non-GMO, and for those two reasons, felt that this was a superior chocolate, worth buying again.

Pinterest vs Learnist

I definitely would like to set up a board of some kind for the school library. We could add sites for research, fun tools to explore, games and educational activities, and other schools' sites. I am wondering whether to go with Pinterest or Learnist. Pros and cons: Pinterest is very popular, and seems like it is here to stay. Learnist is educational, so there would be less temptation to stray from recommended sites. Both are attractive, and easy to use. Must research and experiment further before unveiling The Site.....

Zesty Paws Oatmeal Anti-itch Dog Shampoo

This winter has been tough on our little pups; the bitter cold outside and dry heating inside have dried out their coats and fur. Most shampoos clean, but we found one with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera that also softens and soothes.      I love the description on the back of the bottle - it sounded like just the shampoo we needed. But then, they all claimed to work, and all they did was clean surface dirt.  But I have to say that I am impressed; the shampoo smells great (one pup even tried to taste it!) and it lathers well. We haven’t had a chance to try more than once in the test period, but so far it seems to deep-clean better, and to soothe the flakey skin. Pups are not only clean, but softer! She may not look like it here, but Kenzie feels so much better, now that her skin isn't dry and itchy, and her coat is soft and clean. It washed away the dandruff on  other doggies, and worked well on all types of coats. ZestyPaws makes a conditioner, too,...

Terrific sofa cover - for the right sofa!

We go through sofa covers with alarming speed.  I think we are on the sixth one in two dogs...And Ashton totally shredded one in a month!!   Since Kenzie has claimed the off-white sofa as her own,    I need to keep it protected. But it is hard to keep the cover on - Since she is so “active, I need to use upholstery pins to keep the cover in place! Would you believe that she bent every one of the pins, and they all came loose?  That's why I thought that this sofa cover ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M32JJM2 ) would be the solution to our problems, since it has rolls that tuck in between the cushions and the frame to keep it in place, and a nice strap that wraps around the back of the sofa as well to keep the back covered.  However, I failed to measure and check the dimensions accurately, and the cover is far too small for Kenzie's sofa - which, admittedly, is a large one. We usually need two protective covers to go from ...
