I certainly do like this best...

After all, I do like writing about what I like best and I can't wait to write about this...
What???  Woman's best friend... Chocolate!
A few months ago I tried to make truffles.  I looked up one recipe online and off I went. 
Well, they were delicious but they looked ridiculous.  A thought occurred to me -
What if there was a class I could take to learn how to really do this

And then the thought passed. 
A few weeks later I saw a deal on a truffle making classing. 
Half off the regular price.  What a deal!
I booked it. I just had to.  And I am so glad I did.

At first I wanted to ask a friend to join me.  But it was still kind of expensive to ask a friend to buy a ticket.  And then I thought about it and decided I wanted this to be something just for me. 

I had a 2 hour drive to get to the cute little town of Sausalito to arrive at the commercial kitchen of Coco Luxe.  I didn't want to be late.  It felt like the first day of elementary school.

What was so awesome about this 3 hour class is how fun it was.  There wasn't a lot I had to learn; just a few tricks of the trade and voila..... deliciousness!

I was so pleased with my results and I just can't wait to make them at home.  I just need to get the awesome spatula/thermometer they had for us to use to temper chocolate.

Want to see the results?  It might make you want to lick your screen...(I wouldn't recommend that though.)

And to top it all off - A picture of myself that I actually like. And that never happens.
