It's below 90!!!!

Yay! It is finally below 90 degrees. It is still humid and too warm for me, but atleast I can wear clothes and not be completely miserable on when I run to the car! As the temperatures fall it is time to start thinking about chocolate again. Last night, it was about 65 and breezy, I actually craved a chai tea truffle (that never happens).

I have to say, I haven't been completely idle this entire summer; I have 3 boys at home, so that is next to impossible. I have repainted my chocolate room, I have been working on a new brochure, checking out new packaging, researching new products, typing up all the recipes that I came up with that were written on chocolate stained sticky notes and I have been rereading some chocolate books for inspiration.

So, fall is no longer just a distant dream, in a few weeks the first pomegranates will show up and the pumpkins, it truly is the small things that make life so much better! Soon I will be able to turn off the dehumidifier and everything!

There will be a tasting at Let's Talk Wine on September 19th from 1200 to 1600, I am not sure which wines will be featured, but you can bet they will be amazing. While I know that technically fall is a few weeks off, I have fall flavours spinning around in my head, so just think of this run of truffles as ushering in fall! Right now I am thinking that I will be making the following:
Tiffany:Pumpkin
Istanbul:Chai
Turin:Hazelnut
Roma:Cappuccino
Paris:Classic
Brittany: Sea Salt Caramel
and hopefully Rossetti: Pomegranate

Hope to see you there!
