O Chocolat!

What better way to cheer ourselves up on a cold grey Monday morning than with a sneaky peak at the beautiful creations to come out of our "O Chocolat!" event?

Our friends at Sara's Flowers and Tea's played host to our recent chocolate tasting and poetry UPLIFT and what a sweet treat it was! UPLIFTERS were in chocolate heaven as the sumptuous milk and dark delights inspired words and poems.

21 Ways to think about Chocolate

1. 
Sick and guilty, but it doesn’t last long.
After the first bite, those feelings have gone.

Walking in a wood of chocolate trees,
Floating through chocolate leaves.

Jonny Depp covered in chocolate – lick him clean!

With red wine and candle light

on dark chocolate, seventy per cent.
 
9.
Or  even stronger, eighty one per cent,
solid heaven.

Bitter, creamy, heavenly, happy.

My thick smooth cover,
I lie on the tray for something to happen.
I wait and everyone eats me.
People are my best friend,
And I’m a chocolate treat.

17.
Take a double choc chip muffin, remove the top, push some nice dark chocolate inside, put the lid back on, insert into the microwave for 15 seconds.  If you want, put some cream on. Eat with pleasure.
 
18.
Steal into the pantry at 2 am and get a long-handled spoon, and have a dollop of choc and hazelnut spread and eat in the dark.
