CoCo Sala has brought back my favorite of their seasonal chocolate barks, Pumpkin Seed Brittle Bark. They carry their chocolate store, on their website, and at Union Market.

Last year’s DC Lamb Jam was awesome. Below is a message  (found in my inbox) from Fans of Lamb DC.

Holiday Recipe Contest  

From now through December 14, fans of lamb are invited to post their ewe-nique family recipes plus a quote about why they love American Lamb on the American Lamb Board’s Facebook Page, www.facebook.com/AmericanLamb, or on Twitter or Pinterest using the hashtag #AmericanLambFamilyRecipe. Weekly winners, chosen at random, will  receive a lamb cut of their  choice for a family feast. A panel of  lamb-lovin’ chefs will review all entries and choose a grand prize  winner, who will receive a $500 gift  certificate to a restaurant in  their home town that serves American  lamb. We’ll announce the winners  each week as well as the grand prize winner on December 17 via Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. You can find  the American Lamb Board  on Facebook at www.facebook.com/AmericanLamb, on Twitter at twitter.com/FANofLAMB or on Pinterest at pinterest.com/americanlamb.
