Hi Jeff,It was a very informative session, although short and fast. Sorry, I was in a hurry to beat the Chicago traffic going home, I did not have the time to introduce myself to you. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Chicago.Irma

A lot of people were scribbling hard cybele.we did, however touch upon many subjects. My favorites being the edumacation of the american palate in regards to finer chocolate, the inherent retailer/producer struggle of shelf life for finer chocolates, the incredibly high and rising cost of basic ingredients and shipping, and the Mass vs. Artisan approach.....gwen would probably have a better handle on what was actually said ....my memory is shot

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
