A nice friend (HiB!) was kind .. ahem.. and got me hooked on Chocolatier games. So after playing the games for a while, I really wanted to make chocolate. It has been a while ...

So I made lots of chocolate. The material list included ~2lbs of Valrhona ( Araguani, Guanaja, and Alpcao) , ~3 cups of cream, and various flavorings. From the top left:

• Ginger Lemon
  
• Raspberry (from neighbor to my garden) Lemon
  
• Buena-Vista-Lavender (from my garden)
  
• Orange Cardamon
  

I also made tradtional truffles with Valrhona Alpaco... 1 cup local dairy cream from J + 18oz chocolate = ~80 truffles. See some work in progress twitpic for the molds and truffles.
