All Things Chocolate and Chocolate
posted 02/03/2010
As a self-proclaimed chocoholic, I readily admit my weakness for all things chocolate. White, dark, milk, minty, spicy, chips, or those trademark Hershey’s Kisses, it doesn’t matter, I’ll shove them in my mouth and love them just the same. One year I was a judge for a beer-making contest. My winning selection was none other than a chocolate porter. I even prefer my coffee with a hint of cocoa. In fact, I count the mochachino as one of the best inventions of all time. It ranks up there with movable type, electricity, and the wheel. So, when I heard that the San Juan Island Library hosted a chocolate event, I almost went into cardiac arrest. Thankfully, and maybe because of my large chocolate consumption, my ticker survived. The event, Chocolate Friendzy, happens again, this Saturday, Feb. 6. Part culinary celebration and part fundraiser, Chocolate Friendzy is the brainchild of the Friends of the San Juan Island Library. It was created to showcase the island’s talented bakers and to generate donations. Proceeds of the night will help sponsor a wide array of programs, such as summer reading, writing workshops, computer classes, and family film nights. Library doors will open to the public at 7 PM. May the best chocolate creation win and no piece of chocolate go uneaten. Let the Friendzy begin! On that note, I’ll conclude with one of my favorite quotes. It’s from the late cartoonist, Charles M. Schulz. "All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt."
