I saved the best item in the Marcenet Mercantile shipment for last: Bourbon Marshmallow Millionaire Shortbread. @hollyoreilly.bsky.social, I eagerly await your return to chocolate-making (and thanks for letting me nick your photo!).

Rough day yesterday, but I got home to find a box from @hollyoreilly.bsky.social’s Marcenet Mercantile and I had a Belgian Chocolate Covered Marshmallow and… well, the warning sticker was correct.

4/ If the price of chocolate falls, we may reopen the chocolate part of the business in the fall. There are few things in this world I love to do than being a chocolate maker and a chocolatier. I am heartbroken. marcenetmercantile.com/p/cherry-blo...

3/ We've made the decision to close up the chocolate part of our shop after that chocolate is gone, which we estimate will be about 2 weeks. marcenetmercantile.com/p/mendiants/...

2/ Chocolate makers saw this coming. After Christmas, I bought 100 lbs of chocolate at a slightly elevated price, but nothing like what it is today. marcenetmercantile.com/p/bourbon-ma...

1/ As most of you probably know, I own a bakery/chocolate shop called @Marcenetmerc marcenetmercantile.com Because of the threat of tariffs on agricultural goods and the effects of climate change, chocolate prices are at a 50-year high. You can read about it more here.

5/ It's going to be a great spring and summer of berry picking and jam and jelly making. Hell, if the price of eggs ever comes down, we'll be making cookies as well. ♥️https://marcenetmercantile.com/p/lemon-saffron-marmalade/7gn5z83J9sqS2LLGLVkS

9/ I could go on and on about how the Trump administration is fucking people left and right. Social Security? Fuck em. Medicaid? Fuck em. Medicare? Fuck em. Farmers? Federal workers? Women? The LGTBQIA+ community? Trans people in particular? Migrants. Your 401k? Fuck em all. #TrumpRecession

See, all we had to do was ignore a deadly virus until it started spreading like wildfire to stop people from crossing the border. Great job, Trump, you fucking lunatic. www.borderreport.com/news/health/...

If you're new here, following me and all, you should know I was a nomad for a few years through, oddly, mostly places that have overcome tyranny & occupation & genocide. Here's a few things I learned along the way.

Hey thanks for the plug Gutfeld. You’re as bad as Hannity. Don’t you guys have anything else to cover? That’s right. You can’t say anything critical of Trump or Musk! Sad! Hear my response later today on the show.

Finally, some good news. apnews.com/article/newl...

54 here. Eat dessert first.

Anyone? Asking for some friends. A lot of them.

Hey guys! I’ve started something new. My new Substack… Go check it out! jimacosta.substack.com/p/hold-on-to...

Weird. My 21 year old kid has Asperger’s and I’ve never seen him heil anyone.

I'm in the middle of my third COVID infection. It's not going great. Please send good thoughts, chicken soup, dog pics, and a time machine so I can get past the suck and back to my life again. I developed long covid after my second infection. It took months before the POTS symptoms subsided.

Tragic. What a force. RIP, Cecile Richards.

I love it when the flight attendants are like “fuck it, take the can and the second bottle of vodka.” Just in case I want to add more booze to my cranberry juice (which I did).

@hollyoreilly.bsky.social Just had a delicious Bourbon Pecan Pie Truffle breakfast morsel. Because who doesn’t need a little chocolaty bourbon goodness for breakfast?

Aww! That makes me so happy! I love seeing the reviews come in once a big order goes out. We had 40 rather large orders last week and we *just* got the last one sent out this morning, so time for a break? LOL, no. The orders keep coming! 😆 I blame/thank @fpwellman.bsky.social for spreading the word!

If you are gifting to a foodie you cannot go wrong with something from Holly's shop. I love the buttercream cookies so much, but also the english toffee and the Havrekjek cookies. So delish. Get the Mendiants for your fancy friends.
