Chocolate Class

We went to a chocolate cooking class this week at one of our favorite local restaurants. This was actually that final part of my Christmas present from Melissa this year. We had wanted to go to this class in the past (they have classes each month, and one of those classes each year is about chocolate), but it tends to sell out quickly. Before, we had forgotten until too late, but this time Melissa remembered and made us reservations. I've been looking forward to this since I found out and was literally counting down the days as we got close to time.

This class consisted of a small group of people (a dozen or so) sitting and watching as the chef made various chocolate concoctions. It was a nice, informal setting which allowed for us to see what was going on and ask questions. In addition to being both informative and fun, it was delicious because we got to eat all of the things that were made. The dishes prepared were Chocolate Pot de Crème (which we ate there...all the others were sent home with us), Triple Chocolate Cookies, Chocolate Truffles (pictured below), and Bittersweet and White Chocolate Mousse.



The problem now is that the last thing I needed was more encouragement to make and eat more chocolate. Oh well, it's not like my doctor's going to yell at me for being fat or anything.
