Dec 19, 2007 at 5:43 PM It's raining outside.
I'm going to tell you the story behind this in a minute.
UPDATE: Okay, I'm back. You might not be able to tell, but I'm soaked in the picture above (like, completely through my coat, down to my undies.) I walked in the rain to the Jacques Torres Chocolate store in DUMBO (a neighborhood in Brooklyn that's not too far away from me) because my friend Mark had to have this thing called "Wicked Hot Chocolate" for a ski trip he's taking to Tahoe after Christmas.
"Wicked Hot Chocolate" is hot chocolate made with allspice, cinnamon, ground, sweet ancho chili peppers, and smoked, ground chipotle chili peppers. It's supposed to be delicious and Mark is longing to drink it by the fire. (He's so gay.)
Now, you might ask why I'd walk somewhere in the rain (20 minutes each way) for a friend who didn't let me take a bath in his hotel room. Well, the answer to that is because he bought me this cute handbag for Christmas. Thank you, Mark! I've almost forgiven you.
BTW, Jacques Torres' chocolate store was on Martha before. It's right here in Brooklyn and the stuff they make is nummy. Check out their website.

That's good..because that face is *so* telling a story.
Are you sure that's really what happened? Cause that looks like a mug shot if I ever saw one. Just sayin..
I love Jaques Torres' wicked hot chocolate! Actually, anything that man makes out of chocolate is fantastic.
Also, cute handbag. Did it come with a bathtub?

You once said you always wanted a mugshot, now you have it!
Looks like a passport or drivers license photo to me
When I first saw the picture, I thought that you had gotten arrested sneaking into the Mercer to take a bath. hee hee hee It really does look like a mugshot. All you need is some lipgloss and a smirk a la Paris.
You are a good friend.
I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling the handbag....
But the hot chocolate sounds good!
Yikes that picture is scary.
I almost swore off ever clicking on your blog forever after seeing that picture... hahahaha!
You know, I like his regular hot chocolate but the spiced just doesn't do it for me.
But the walk is totally worth it. I remember making my husband and friend travel in the freezing cold all the way from the subway station to the store in Manhattan...which was quite a walk. I think they both hated me a little bit after that.
loooove the bag!
That is so a mug shot pic. At the hospital the other day, I was going through my sister's wallet and said her driver's license could double as a mug shot.
TaDa......Drum Roll, please
You are now a winner in the mug shot competition.
I would go anywhere for chocolate, but that handbag is so not my style.
Much Luv,
Did he not notice the "Add to Cart" option on that page?
The website is out of the wicked one so he couldn't order it.
yep. a good friend of mine from jersey goes there and she calls jacques torres "heaven"
I loooove the handbag!
Did you try the hot chocolate? I'd walk 20 minutes through the rain for an awesome cup of hot chocolate.
