Let Them Eat Chocolate

Categories: Cookbooks

As we enter the New Year with an uncertain economy, it seems likely that many of us will be scaling back during 2009.  It follows, then, that looking for enjoyment in "the simple things" will become more important, and I say that chocolate is one of those simple pleasures that can work wonders.  A simple event for friends on a winter evening: a Chocolate Tasting.  From a basic bar of chocolate to an elaborate dessert, somehow it seems to make things a little brighter.
