Early April

Today is one of those gorgeous spring days in the Hampton Roads area of VA.  73 with 95% humidity and a tornado warning!  Not the best day to start chocolate.  But, what are you gonna do.  I have been researching dehumidifiers, either that or I close up shop from May until October.  Not ideal when you are trying to actually START a business.  Did I mention that it is allergy time?  

Yesterday I started infusing cream.  I finally was able to procure somewhat local cream from 5 points!  I think it has a somewhat higher fat content, which may or may not screw up my work. Today I have been ganache making.  My lovely lemon is amazing fresh out of the bowl.  I have also finished the Roma, Rosario, Reims, plus a few new ones I have yet to name.   Coconut and jasmine tea.  I will be researching the  art nouveau/coconut connection as well as the jasmine tea for the next few days.

Remember, chocolates make a great hostess gift for everyone out there traveling for the Easter holiday!
