Chocolate is for Lovers!

Honestly, I feel like my students do at times. I just haven't been in the mood
to write anything or perhaps it's that nothing I have written is worth reading. If I heard this from my students, I would lovingly tell them, "that sounds like a personal problem to me" or "I'm not serving any cheese with that "whine". So, on to the task at hand. I'm posting several photos to take up space, which might qualify my entry as more of a photo blog than anything else. Disclaimer: No, students, you may not use this technique in your assigned blogs for my English class!

The second adventure of February looked something like this:

Getting my Valentine groove on before the big trip to Central Market on Westheimer. Muah!


Chocolate Festival, here I come! Bring on the chocolate. Is there anything that isn't good covered with chocolate? 


One of my first stops was at the sample table for a little taste of chocolate drops. Milk and dark chocolate yummies which rather looked a bit like rabbit turds!


Next stop...coffee shop! Give me a pound of that Sumatra Dark Roast with chocolate nibs. Uhhh...just exactly what are nibs, anyway? 


Off to the bean grinder. Select brew type, place bag under metal clip, and GO!!


Now off to find the John Kelly Truffle Fudge Bar that I will get for free with this coupon. 


Found it at last! I guess I got so excited about all the chocolate that I forgot to give the cashier my golden ticket. So, I paid $2.79 for a very small nugget of fudge. But it was worth it!



Last stop...the chocolate fountain where I dipped my marshmallow into the silky chocolate goodness! 

Overall, it was a delicious and delightful adventure. Before leaving, I filled my basket with a nice piece of Chilean Sea Bass, crab cake, fresh veggies, and a blushing rose' for the evening meal. Can't get much better than that.
