August 31, 2010

Ed Engoron The ChocolateDoctor Is In @ A Million Cooks

Communication is a wondrous thing. When I was producing my own radio television programs, The Food Show and Stump the Chef, I thought that we had gone about as far as we could go in personal communications. Today, however, it’s possible to reach considerably more people in so many exciting ways. We have our iPhones and Blackberries, iPads, laptops and notebooks, and a wide array of programs and applications from which to choose, ranging from simple email to Y… Continue

Erin Bear attempts to steal chocolate factory

I arrived home from a road trip in the wee hours on the 4th of July and was too tired to unload the car.

I was convinced that I had the best smelling car (especially at the end of a two week road trip).

The next morning I had confirmation of just how good it smelled. When going to open the back of the car, I noticed th… Continue
