C.Rose,

A break from the sweetness but never from Chocolate...Do you put some in your real mole sauce?

If I had one dream chocolate dish, it would be dark chocolate espresso brownies with a hint of orange or plain. Yum.

Hey, I loved the movie Chocolat (suprise, surprise). At the place I work, we are coming out with a new line of chocolates in a week or so here and they make me think of the movie- they are very focused on international spices and flavor combos. As soon as the info is up on the internet I'll pass along the website. They're definitely worth looking into.

So how did the chocolate buffet/potluck go? Wow. I hope you had big glasses of cold milk!

How is your job going Shimmer? It seems interesting to me...have you learned anything supprising or unusual about high end chocolate work?

The Chocolat party was a huge success!! For the most part, people brought great desserts. Others broughts some wierd stuff -- but most of my friends don't bake (if they do, it is using a mix). I think it would be fun to do a party like that with people who love to bake fabulous desserts (not just come with a package of Oreos, ya know??)
The movie was great, too. I told my sister about it and she is having a Chocolat party, too :-)

Naturally - that's why I suggested it! I was trying to think of good chocolaty savouries. The only other thing that came to mind, for some reason, was the post on these very boards... wasn't someone looking for a recipe for salmon with cocoa sauce a while back? (ew!)

I've got to make me some mole sauce soon. I was in Ottawa last week, and stopped in a new store on Sussex that sells nothing but chile-related products. I bought a whole bunch of different exotic dried chiles, including some fancy smoked ones!

I remember that request for salmon with cocoa sauce...

We are lucky here, we find infinite varieties of fresh ad dried chiles pretty easily. What's your favorite chocolate for mole, do you use Ibara (sp?)?

Where do you get your chocolate Kimmie?
