I’d never indulged in chocolate from Charm School Chocolates. I’d also never tasted cocoa sourced from Belize. So this 70% dark chocolate treat was a 100% new for me when I happened upon it at the Northwest Chocolate Festival. I really adore how small batch chocolatiers are starting to stamp and mould their bars. The tasting notes […]

Chocolate in bed
I’ve decided that living in a single room with approx 620 square feet of space makes it perfectly acceptable to eat chocolate in bed. While working, of course. 😉 And especially when I’m savouring this tasty, tasty bar from Fruition Chocolate. I grabbed this limited edition 68% along with their Maranon 76% at the Northwest Chocolate Festival. I […]
Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1)
I’d never heard of today’s chocolate indulgence, Dandelion Chocolates, before happening on their booth at the Northwest Chocolate Festival. I went straight for their Ambanja, Madagascar (of course and always). The chocolate was exceedingly smooth and bursting with fruit notes; the raspberry almost overwhelming. Though perhaps I shouldn’t have eaten so many pieces in such a short period […]
I was totally planning to blog about these super tasty Fleur de Sel Caramels that I picked up at the Northwest Chocolate Festival from Jonboy Caramels. But then I ate them all.

An office in a tool shed.
I’m back on my walking desk and blogging from my new temporary office in the tool shed. In which, even though I said it really wasn’t necessary, Michael insisted on cutting a window so I could have a view. I also hung my housewarming/birthday gift from my lovely friend, Gertie – the pretty spirit ball at […]
I was lucky enough to attend the Northwest Chocolate Festival this year [Saturday, October 3, 2015]. The event was overwhelming but completely fun. Chocolatiers from all over the world had tasting booths spread over two floors of the convention centre. Today’s chocolate indulgence – TCHO – was on the top floor. And, even though I was in the first […]
GIVEAWAY CLOSED. WINNER: LUCKY #56 – Jennifer from Massachusetts, USA! It’s my birthday today – yay! I get as much enjoyment by giving a gift to someone else on the day of my birth as I do receiving a gift. Occasionally, I’ll buy a meal for a homeless person or take a group of friends out for brunch, […]
