So, finally, I got an absolute, no fail guarantee from

Cold Core and through them, Alternative Air Fixtures. We'll see if this display case gets here by Tuesday, already almost two weeks late.

My chef friends just laugh and say, "You allowed an extra two weeks? You should have allowed an extra two months." I was going to do the Grand Opening in Jan but David of Cold Core was very sure that I would get the case last Monday.

Well, we'll be ready no matter what. Here we come Grand Opening. I'll see you there. Guaranteed!

I love these people

Well, this group, this quilting group, is going to break the record for the most chocolate ordered by an art group here at the Greenville Arms and the Hudson River Valley Art Workshops. I wont tell you the amount but between this, the restaurant orders, and the telephone orders, I guess I'm going to have to make more dark Cranberry conserve chocolates and maybe even milk as well as, wait for it, the lavender ganache. Yup. The flavor of choice for the Thanksgiving holiday season isn't mace, as you might expect, or cinnamon but lavender.

I also have some great photos coming. Pictures of chocolate, natch. Don't let me forget to put recipes on this blog or on Inn Your Dreams. Post a comment with the recipe you desire. And remember, hit the recipe link for Inn Your Dreams for all the recipes.
