Oh boy, what a heavenly festival! I would love to be there, Jo!
my hubby and lil' girl would love to be in such festival!
oh, the chocolate makes my knees weak now :) would love to be part of the festival as well
I would love to watch the chef demonstrations. I like seeing how things are made. And maybe I just like to watch other people work. :)
Oh, that looks so incredibly good!
Ooh, my hubby is a sweet-tooth! He'll love this!
A chocolate festivaaaaalllll????!!!!! weeeeeeee!!!!!!!! Can I come? Can I come? Can I come? :)
I wish, I wish, I wish I were closer to indulge in more of my very favorite chocolate!! I remember my first visit to S.F. in '77 and that's when I first discovered this heavenly treat, sigh. Have a few pieces for me!
I could use some chocolate right about now ;)
I was just wondering about Ya'Sou! I'm getting a 404 error?
oh! the hubby and my liitle one would love that festival...when can we have those festival here...ahhh!
That's my favorite, it's the only one I buy!
You know Joanne...if your going to tempt us so vividly, you ought to have a scratch and smell mechanism.
bessye
Icy, it's where I get my chocolate fix :)
Cher, I wish you could all be here.
betchai, :) I know exactly what you mean.
Ratty, the demonstrations are fun but I, as you, love to watch others work :)
Secondary, It is decadently sinful
Tes, I have a sweet tooth as well
C, I'll see ya there.
WillOaks, I promise I will have many pieces for you and will also raise my merlot in toast to you :)
Robin, I always could use some chocolate.
Salitype, I wish you were here to help me taste all those treats.
bessye, You have the perfect idea. With all of this technology you would think Silicon Valley would come up with the scratch and sniff thing. Or even better a taste mechanism. Ghirardelli is my favorite too :)
We need that here...of course it would end up being a "hot" chocolate festival.
