Fit For A Winter Night In Chicago - Marcia’s Chocolate Russians
January 3rd -The Joyful Commemoration Of Breaking Even
By working continuously and vigorously in an organized manner, taking care not to duplicate efforts or overlook a vital step in any sequential array of steps to accomplish a given task, I can attest that at 6:00 PM on January 3, 2008 I am nearly back to the place I began at 5:00 this morning.

Thanks, Marcia
Footnotes

- Marcia notes that “obviously these are proportions that I personally like, but they can be adjusted to your own taste.” ~back~
