If there is a National Chocolate Day, I vote that it should be in January or February, when the rains fall in the south, cacao fruit ripens, and the cold snowy northerners eat chocolate and make love to stay warm.

I got an email from a baking company today declaring it "National Chocolate Day."  Is there really such a thing?

Hi all.  Looking forward to getting threads.  I am a professor of biology at a small liberal arts college and teach an interdisciplinary course on chocolate.  Always looking for new information on chocolate and resources to use in class. I would love to go on a chocolate adventure one of these days.

Well, If anyone is interested in going to Ambanja and the Sambriano Valley in Madagascar..... then you need to drop me a line. Its well worth the travel. We are planning a trip in June 2011 and we will do everything. Farmers, Suppliers, Co ops, Island Holiday for a few days........... It'll be great!

I recently became a member of Chocolate Life & of this group & excited about all it has to offer. I've already found there to be a wealth of information & am thrilled to find myself amongst so much talent & knowledge.

I currently happen to be entirely immersed in eating, thinking & sleeping chocolate as I've been organizing a chocolate tasting fundraiser in NYC. Its the first of such events I've put together, & I would love any last minute words of advice since its this Friday!

I would also like to invite any & all of you who are in & around NYC to attend. It is a fundraiser for the Haiti relief efforts of Doctors without Borders, held at the Isack Kousnsky Gallery, February 19th at 7:30pm. 561 Broadway, Loft 4B.

Complete event details are listed on the events page where you can RSVP.

Hope to see you there. Please feel free to invite friends.

I am doing tastings with a local wine company...the kind of place that you can make your own barrels of wine.They sponsor all kinds of fun tasting events and thought the wine and chocolate theme would be fun. We have on tap a 6 wine, 5 chocolate tasting with some unusual chocolates everything from Fechlins "Cru Savage" to a Kiawe Smoked Salt Caramel.

I've just transitioned from my 4300 sq foot restaurant to a 1200 sq ft "chocolate studio." (Yeah!) I'm planning to use the front half for tastings and small classes. In addition to tastings for adults, I'd also like to do some tastings and classes geared toward children. Any ideas? I've got so many swimming around in my head, I'll post some when I actually nail 'em down. I appreciate any input.

Clay- Your meetups will surely be missed. We were fortunate, however, to learn as much as we could from you while they lasted. Not to mention all the great places (Sweetriot Hdqts, Godiva Hdqts to name only two; the boutique at ABC Carpet being my favorite) and interesting people we met. Thanks again!
