人们经常说我是世界上最幸运的人,因为他们认为我过的那种生活。但是我找到了一些让我殴打的人。

我从书中回来了,这令人振奋,但让我有点想家。虽然真的,如果有人考虑一下,一个人可以访问多少次Target在一个月?甚至不要让我开始沃尔格林…I mean, how much chapstick does a guy需要?(嗯,很多,似乎……)

将我的行李箱塞进ill,我的最后一个周末在西雅图度过了无目标的西雅图,那里有很多好东西可以吃和喝,浓咖啡with gal-palShauna,与一群食物博客作者that was well-oiled by lots of good wine mixed with plates of the freshest food overlooking the water. There was time to catch up with new and old friends, unwind, and after a few glasses of wine, a bit of comparing notes was in order.
So watch it out there, readers!

On this last day, a chocolate tasting was planned at西奥巧克力,美国少数几个出色的小型巧克力制造商之一。从我走进北菲尼大道(North Phinney Avenue)朴实的前门的那一刻起,我就知道这对我来说将是一个很有趣的乐趣,而客人则停下来打招呼和样品。

这就像一个大型聚会在里面举行,到处都是很多巧克力。我从未见过如此快乐,兴奋的人。现在那些人过着甜蜜的生活。但是你能怪他们吗?被所有这​​些巧克力所包围,我也将成为地球上最幸福的家伙。一个下午,我是。

如前所述,西奥是美国为数不多的巧克力制造商之一,从豆类到酒吧制作巧克力。使用有机贸易豆,烤豆子,磨碎,然后成形为巧克力片,其中许多是“原始”棒,突出了一些细微差别cacao来自世界各地的豆类。但是与其他一些巧克力制造商不同,他们有巧克力秋天马丁,谁在制作我一生中品尝过的一些最好的巧克力糖果。

您是否介意我谈论可以想象的最富有,最纯净的口味?

Okay, don’t mind if I do.
With just two-and-a-half years of chocolate-making under her belt, Autumn’s managed to hit just the right notes with every chocolate I tried.

Autumn使用柠檬凝乳底座,该凝乳底座被折叠成白巧克力,然后允许它静置几天,以达到与巧克力涂层的正确一致性。

But I can’t resist telling you about my favorite: burnt sugar.

When we passed by the racks and racks of just-dipped chocolates, I gathered my nerve to ask for one and within seconds I was seduced with the taste of deeply-caramelized, rich-tasting organic cane sugar melded with bittersweet, homemade chocolate. If you don’t do anything else today (except finish reading my blog, of course), I urge you to visit西奥的网站and order a box. You won’t be disappointed! I’m hoarding the two boxes they wrapped for me and will only share them with very special people.

而且,由于我在接下来的几周内没有邀请任何特殊的人,所以我想我必须一个人自己吃。

如果您住在西雅图,或计划将来访问,我敦促您将其高尾访问西奥。我提出要无限期地在那里睡觉,这是被正式接受的要约。但必须回到巴黎收集我的财产。所以这里对我来说一切都结束了,我打包了我的行李。很快我会Living The Sweet Life in Seattle

只是在开玩笑。我什至没有联合国收拾行装……但是我已经打开了包装,吃了一盒巧克力。

一种nd after all that super-duper chocolate, how could I end the perfect trip? By dining with food bloggers; the porous亚当, the ever-fabulous and gluten-free Shauna, the soon-to-be Mrs.莫莉, tip-top Tara, and the lovely and learned Lara, who fixed my camera with the simple touch of one button. Really. Is there anything that makes one feel more stupid than that?

晚餐在酒吧里,我们喝了很多葡萄酒(当然),吃了很多很棒的食物。然后,当我们坐下来时,完成了最后一个长相思,其中一位客人奇怪地开始捡起鼻子(他现在声称他只是为相机做的),促使我们休会了晚上。

抓住!

So I’m back in Paris with loads of chocolate bars and almost as many great memories. (Except for one of a certain New Yorker with his finger jammed in his snout. Now you’ve got it too. I know, I know…“感谢您的分享,大卫”…) My next goal is to tuck myself into my own bed, surround myself with my special and highly-complex混合我只能正确安排的枕头,睡几天。

当我醒来时,我会攻击其余的巧克力。

与亚当攻击他的活力相同,…oh, never mind…

    我对博客社区有些陌生,但我已经熟悉Orangette Molly和Fruten Nove Shauna之类的人。阅读所有人聚在一起很有趣!更不用说,巧克力零食听起来很棒!

    有一家以色列巧克力公司,在其中制作了一个很棒的巧克力棒,里面有流行摇滚糖果。听起来可能并没有那么精致,但是简单的想法实际上很美味!

      I’ve been slowly taste testing my way through all the artisanal chocolates in the Bay Area, the US and beyond (hard work, I know). Theo’s confections totally blew me away. All of them. And the 3400 Phinney coconut curry bar? It makes my toes squirm with happiness. You ARE so lucky to have visited! I’ve been considering a trip to Seattle just for Theo. I’m glad to know my chocolate hero shares my love of Theo – I feel validated :). Autumn is a genius.

        嗨,大卫,

        Did Autumn Martin create all those confection recipes herself? It’s hard to believe…

          • 大卫

          是的,他们都在那里制造。她还将自己的巧克力送给她!

            • 萝拉

            Pam can make any room turn into a party! She has the greatest energy… and everything Autumn touches is pure gold! Such lovely people at Theo, David, I am so happy you had a nice time there. Hello to all at Theo!! I miss you guys! -Laura

              Oh, I can’t wait to see what Adam does to get back at you for this one. ;-)

                  Hey David, Great story, i was just in Seattle a few weeks ago. I was hanging with Pamela for a day of eating and drinking, and ah yes, some wonderful chocolate.

                  有片刻的时间,请查看我的博客,您可以在我的网站上找到。我不认为自己,无论如何,作家或经验丰富的博客作者,我只是在生活中玩有趣的巧克力和一天的东西。

                  We both share the love of chocolate.

                  干杯,
                  迈克尔

                    There were no available reservations at the Theo Chocolate Factory when I called on July 5th and now I am rather glad. I would have embarrassed myself by jumping up and down and pointing at you. Thanks poor planning, you’ve saved me again!

                      You’re all about chocolate-well in 1915 milton Hershey made some educational kits. these kits had 7-glass vials with aluminum caps on them. They came in a box with a letter, that told you what was in each glass vial. Milton Hershey gave one of these kits to my grandfather. The Hershey company has two-they won’t sell them and they will not tell you what they are worth. “But to each his own”

                      我已经搜索了30年。我真的相信我有最后一个套件。而且完成了。它仍然具有每个玻璃小瓶中的原始成分,并且在4年以上 - (2015年)该套件将有100年的历史。您如何看待那种巧克力???迈阿。
