Must Eats: Chocolate in SF and Vegas


Posted in: Travels & Adventures

Ethel M in Vegas has a fun tour. There chocolate is Godiva+ quality/taste. I did really like there orange cremes.They are way off the strip though so you will need a car or take a tour that includes it as a stop. We called to find out how much a taxi was but took a bus tour to Ethel M, Hoover Dam & lunch for less than a taxi ride...Patrick

Where to Buy Chocolate


Posted in: Classifieds F/S or Wanted

I had a box of Norman Love's chocolates a couple months ago. Some very complex flavors and some a little too far from center for my tastes. Each piece however was truly a piece of art work.
