Fun with Uncle Fwunkie and Auntie Anne!

Chocolate is always fun but it's even more fun when everyone gets in on the action!

We had lots of fun enrobing marshmellows and I was super happy for the company since otherwise I'd be practising all on my lonesome :..\

Thanks to auntie Anne there's lots of photgraphic evidence ^_^*

Gotta work on those pesky feet! But all in all, a nice first try!

Dark chocolate enrobed marshmellows: All agreed it was a lovely combination - but some would still only be satisfied by the pure thing...

Gotchya Uncle Fwunkie!

Hope to see yall back in Trinidad soon!

Charm Clubbers! Unite!

I would like to propose an excursion day/weekend Saturday 15th of May 2010 to visit the Tobago Cocoa Estate! Check out the video below! Who's in? heh heh... I'm just joking sillies - you don't have a choice... *glower*

Sneak Preview of the future Delft Cocoa Lodge!

Our Goal: To create a place where locals and foreigners can come to learn and experience the ancient alchemy of cacao bean to Theobroma : Food of the Gods - Chocolate ...

Brasso Venado trip to Delft Cocoa Plantations ... yes, that's what it's called people!

Delft Cocoa Plantations

Our Field Trip in Pictures

making my mark on cocoa...

Look carefully and you might be able to spot the elusive Atiyyamon...*shh - quiet now...












The proposed sight for the Delft Cocoa Plantation Villa(s) - The 'natural' pool will be cascading down to the left.



They say T&TEC wouldn't provide electricity in here -- and WASA is a pipe dream *pun sadly intended* but I think we can still make it work!


I'd hate to clear any trees though! Can't we just build around 'em?


stay tuned- lots more to come!

Golly!!!

Thanks guys! I love it! It's got all the nice vintage posters an' everythin! I'm using the wrapping for an apron! Check charm club for details! LOL!

Mysterious package shows up at door!

What could it be? And who could it be from ?

I'm a Chocolatier!!!! kinda...

TEMPER ATTEMPT: NUMMER EINS!

PRETTY! but alas... FAIL...!

Lesson learned: There exists a high probability that mom will dip wet things, like apples, in the chocolate when back is turned during tempering, thus causing chocolate to seize. Mom is tricksy...

First Chocolate Tasting Event!

The Chocolate Tasting was really lovely - thanks to all my lovely (patient:D) friends who helped me pull it off! I don't see how I cuold have done it myself with my unrefined palate and lack of ability to articulate taste into like- words and stuff! Here are the results of the tasting, followed by some overall comments :)
