Godiva Coffee Break

Wow- Mainefish won a Free Godiva Coffee Break by putting his card in a bowl at their store. So, since he didn't have a workplace and my house is air-conditioned we had it in conjunction with a garage sale and BBQ. They brought baskets of chocolate and set out trays of cookies/biscuits to go with their Crème Brûlée coffee. Alex brought strawberris that we ate with the chocolate. WE should of grabbed a hand full of the chocolate samples, melted them down and drizzeled them on the strawberries..... Oh well next time. They left the rest of the samples and a box of chocolates with us. 8)

(They didn't bring any of the summer collection - or the cool flavored truffles or the hot cocoa.)
 
Oh yeah, the Godiva lady had gone to "Chocolate School" and she had this flip book presentation thing of the history of chocolate and how to handle a "chocolate tasting" We asked her for a mini-lesson. First you look, then listen for the snap of the chocolate when you break it, then you smell (I think), and finally taste (hold the chocolate between the roof of your mouth and tongue and let it melt)

The signature biscuits were my favorites!
