DAY 2
Today was even better than yesterday. We spent a few hours in the classroom going over different products and then we were off to the kitchen.
We made different molds and then we made truffles – they are great – great looking and great tasting.
We got to de-mol-le our creations from day 1. That is French for de-mold. The only French I know but it is so cool to say. Oh and they were shiny and beautiful.
Then this afternoon we ‘messed’ with molds again, but this time it was painting different colors to make and image jump out. Again – holy cow! I can’t say it enough.
It was so amazing. The instructor is great and funny. We ended the day by going over problems you can run into while making chocolate. This was so helpful. Oh yeah, and how to avoid making them again.
Did I mention they are opening a school in Chicago this Fall. I am going to talk to ‘the family’ about attending as a group. I think we all need to go to learn the theory together. I know everyone will have a great time and learn a lot.
Ok it is late and I am very tired. I have to pack and then drive home tomorrow after touring the plant. Tomorrow I get to enter the world of willy wonka and see it firsthand. Can’t wait.
I feel bad for my Aunt Lucy, Uncle Bill, Mom, Dad and Vince. The information was sooooo good. But I got a book so I will send it home with my parents in a few weeks.
Chow.

Mmmm. Marcia Chocolates!! Sounds like you're having fun at chocolate school...
Can't wait for you to come home (and not just because you're the best chocolate maker I know)!
Marcia, I just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying your blogs. I think of you and your family often. I hope to see you and all the scrap booking you'll have to do when you get home.
I will be doing a clinical experience at the Altoona Easter Seals from Aug 25 thru Oct 10. I only have 1 more year to be a PT. Thanks for inspiring me.
