Chocolate Update

Dear readers-especially directed to ten of you,

As I mentioned, I went to get the Chocolate bars this week. I'm going to be sending the bars out on Monday and still need addresses from a few folks (Girlichef, Leftover Queen I'm looking in your direction).

This was a really fun idea inspired by Girlichef's comment. I can't wait to hear what you all think of the cheese/chocolate and to see what neat things are from your neck of the woods.

All of the chocolates sold at Marion Street Cheese Market are the product of Mary Bodach. She went to the French Pastry School right here in Chicago, has worked with some great talent both abroad and here, and has even owned her own shop. Experienced? Yeah, I'd say so.

The Gouda bar is 54% dark chocolate with two year old L'Amuse Gouda studded throughout. The orange coloring on top of the cheese is a food paint used to mimick the goodness you'll find inside. This is one of the instances where a cheese has become orange not due to additional food coloring, but careful affinage.

Thanks for reading my cheesey musings, and happy snacking!
