Just another thread about chocolate

[yellow]

And you will be bringing samples to LRRH?

I will try...they most likely will be available at Casa Yellow after the ride as fine chocolate must be kept at the proper temperature, you know. We make only small batches and there aren't many rejects (aka "samples"). I'll see what I can do!

It's worth a visit to the shop to get either a carmel crispy (layer or rice crispy treat, layer of caramel, layer of marshmallow, another layer of crispy treat, top half dipped in chocolate. Available with nuts as well) or the twice dipped pretzels: stick pretzels dipped in caramel and then in chocolate. The carmel at the shop, which we make there from scratch, is the best I've ever tasted.

Oh, and also available: both dried and fresh blueberry clusters, dried cranberry clusters, fresh dipped strawberries, and fresh raspberry clusters. It's a pretty decadent place. Good thing I don't like chocolate all that much!

Um, is there any way to bring a wee bit home in a cooler (say on a plane)? Snapdragen, you may need to negotiate with Jo, as she's your nearest TE LRRH participant. Better come up with a good plan.

A sense a field trip in the works for MIL.

Ach! I see I have some educatin' to do. No refrigerator. Too much moisture. Those flying would be better off just taking a box in their carry on. Just make sure you put it in an overhead very far away from your seat so you aren't too tempted!

Last night after dinner I rewarded myself (for a century well ridden) with a piece of dipped fudge (that would be fudge dipped in dark chocolate). I've decided that a dipped fudge is better than a truffle.

Just thought I'd chime in and send a little more cupboard love yellow's way.

Actually the best way to air-transport chocolate is in the cargo. It is cold up high in the sky, you see.
Only problem is that you might get a little "bloom" on the choc. (Bloom is the technical term for that white film on the surface)
But if you stuff as many as you can into a thermos -flask you would avoid the temp changes as you take off and land (or crash) and no bloom.

wha...huh....did someone say something.....hello, I must have gone into euphoria land thinking of dark chocolate dipped fudge......

!!! DARK CHOCOLATE DIPPED FUDGE !!!

[JoyfullySo]

Please stop... you all are making me HUNGRY!!!!!!!

[SadieKate]

Oh gosh, dark chocolate fudge. You had me at "dark chocolate."

Ach! I see I have some educatin' to do. No refrigerator.

I know the fridge is bad but having tried to carry speciality chocolates home before during the summer, a cooler is better than a melted gob of expensive goo and the cooler doesn't have to have ice in it, just the insulation helps. And we have a long drive home (not that any would make it past Tooele).

I'll see what I can do, snap

I'll owe you big time for help with our car for Sierra to the Sea, anyhow.

Is it safe to assume you might have something of a hankering for yellow's DARK CHOCOLATE DIPPED FUDGE ?

just a guess of course

[jobob]

Uh, Kim, by any chance could I talk you into side trip on Friday afternoon after we pick up the rental car in SLC ??

I'll just need to figure out how not to eat it all before I bring it home

[SadieKate]

We're thinking FIELD TRIP!!!!! I think my MIL would like to go.

Oh yeah. Dark chocolate dipped fudge? Forget the ride, I'm going for the chocolate.

[snapdragen]

I was afraid I was too subtle.....

Yellow is my new best friend.
