IDIOSYNCRATIC BEHAVIOR!

Idiosyncratic
At least it sounds better than weird, grow up, or get real! 

Today is "CHOCOLATE DAY" FOR ME!
The above responses are a few comments I have received from folks, especially when I respond "no thanks, it's NOT a chocolate day" to their offer of a chocolate treat.

"My" Molly who knows (and accepts) my discipline limiting my chocolate intake with my propensity for chocolate told Hubby and me of The Smoky Bean, a new Bryson City bakery/coffee shop (+ hot tea) with delicious chocolate almond croissants! Of course, we had to try it. Quirky or not!
Hooray! An eatery/bakery opened on Tuesday---- a rarity here!
Eating outside overlooking the Tuckaseegee River was amazing as temps were still cool. Another plus was watching a tern on the rivers edge until he took flight with a sharp note. (aka kip)

A perfect fit for my "idiosyncratic" behavior and birder Hubby's view to look at the bird's to the air! (Matthew 6:26)

As I started this blog entry a bit late, I'm signing off! 
I only have 20 minutes to eat a bowl of Caramel Brownie Moose Tracks. (My Mayfield Premium Ice Cream choice, because I'm out of my favorite Mint Chocolate flavor)

"Idiosyncratic" behavior #2......I never eat any chocolate after 3pm. Such behavior might interrupt my sleep patterns!

CHOCOLATE DAY!

The results are in----"I am Weird" according to my family and folks who know me best. I only eat chocolate on certain days of the week. That's my discipline! AKA weird to others.
Tuesday. Thursday. One weekend day, can vary.
Never chocolate after 3pm---in whatever time zone I am located.

Do I ever "over do it" on those  days"? 
Today was one of those ('til now) rare days.

Ice Cream Station, 48 Big Cove Rd. Cherokee, NC 28719

Just look for the pink house!
Delish! Made with the cream from NC Jersey cows (Riverbend creamery) to give a naturally rich and creamy texture.

My perfect Tuesday Lunch! Yes--LUNCH! 
A waffle cone with a scoop of Mint Chocolate topped with a scoop of Rich chocolate with chocolate candies. Hubby's choice was butter pecan, the best he's ever had, topped with a scoop of toasted coconut.


In everything, give thanks! So grateful for family and friends who accept we with all my quirks.

So thankful to have found the pink house filled with the BEST ice cream ever! A fabulous "Tuesday Treat" for me!
