"Chocolate Rush" - let it begin...



About a week before Valentine's Day - I'm through resisting.  Finished.  Done.  All it takes is one glance (and whiff) of Belgian chocolate flowing over the ridges of a chocolate fountain.   Last night our ward Relief Society held a meeting where a relationship coach  (have you ever heard this term?) Val Baldwin - came to speak.  She was marvelous, by the way.  But that meeting is indelibly stamped on my mind because of the chocolate fountain set up after the speaker.  That's it - chocolate has become my new memory booster.

My first attempt at a chocolate fountain three years ago.
It's not hard to host a chocolate fountain event - just ask everyone to bring something to "DIP"...


Here are a few chocolate posts from the past three years that are too good to keep in the archives.  Forgive the repeats - I'll bring in some new recipes before Valentine's Day.

  3. What a wonderful blog you have, Anne. This is my first time here; came via Your Homebased Mom blog and the bloomin' onion bread recipe, which we absolutely LOVED, btw. In fact, I just did a post on it and included a link to you. Thank you for the wonderful recipe. It is a real find. And now, of course, I'm craving chocolate :)
