So, for the three people who may have missed the memo, Koko and I are
in San Diego, ostensibly to attend a chocolate making class. We had
the first class last night (please visit Koko's blog tomorrow for a
photographic memorial of our classes). We are now ensconced at the
Westgate Hotel in downtown SD with a view-ish (between the buildings)
of the bay and mere steps away from Horton Plaza and the Gaslamp
District. We are going for an early dinner at Dobson's

Cajon for second class, then hope we have enough steam to have a
couple of drinks in the Gaslamp District. Fun Girl's Day Out!

Are you going to Dobsons because it's a "high-powered, hobnob spot"??? ;-)


I like the music on the page.....

A good friend would drive 30 miles at 2:00 am to bail you out of jail.
A best friend, however, would be sitting in the cell next to you saying
"Man, that was f******n Awesome!"

I am soooo jealous!

Have a wonderful time.

Oh - are you learning to make chocolates or learning to make
chocolate....I can handle the former a bit, but the latter would be a
very interesting and new skill set to have.

Nope - we went because the bartender has a weak wrist. The oysters on
the half shell were also amazing and Koko tried to embarrass me by
slurping the bowl of mussel bisque. And the salmon appetizer
disappeared in about 5 seconds flat

I liked in *spite* of the music. I generally find music on a given
website annoying.

Don't you need conching equipment for the latter? I think that would be a
pretty serious investment.

I know nothing at all about making chocolate, but instructions about
easily making it at home are all over the net, including a video by
John Scharffenberger.

My husband went to school with Sharffenberger....they were obviously
not so well aquatinted that it has done me a damn bit of good
chocolate-wise, however.

This is a most intriguing idea.

That sounds like a very nice kind of danger. The only thing
missing is a trip to a cookbook store.

I hear you are trying to give Barb a run for the-worst-winter-ever
over there. A poster from another group I frequent and who lives near
Edinburgh says it is the worst they've had in decades. How is it by
you?
