Today Sweet Hubby and I did something that I've been thinking about doing since I moved to Seattle but had never gotten around to. There is a chocolate factory in town that offers tours, so we signed up and spent an hour or so learning about chocolate, eating chocolate, buying more chocolate, and generally having a splendid time.
The chocolate brand is Theo, a local company with excellent integrity. The elements that go into making the chocolate are all organic and fair trade. It was fascinating to learn, and see, how chocolate is made, from bean to bar. I also like Theo because they put together some of the most interesting flavor combinations, such as a Gingerbread Spice, Fennel and Fig, and Turmeric Spice (which tastes sort of like Chai tea).
We tourists were given samples, of course, so right now I'm am so full of chocolate, I actually don't want any more - for now.
