CHOCO-QUOTE OF THE MONTH
“This Easter I had been hoping for a Lindt rabbit, but all I got was this dust bunny.” ~Joan Freed, local entertainer.
GO CHOCOLATING
Hope the spring season has gotten off to a great start and that you are taking time to enjoy the gorgeous flowers and the other seasonal delights. Chocolate Tasting & More provides indoor chocolate tastings, neighborhood chocolate walks (Lake Oswego, Downtown Portland and The Pearl/West End), and a Sweet & Savory Food Tour (Vancouver, WA) from mid-March through early December. Our new 2012 “chocolating” season is off and running. Last month we had nine chocolate lovers join us in Lake Oswego. We’d love have you experience one of our programs this coming year.

VIDEO OF THE MONTH
You may have come across novelty chocolate “LPs” at some point. Yet have you ever heard about an edible and playable single? That is what one pastry chef in Fife, Scotland has done to help promote a local band. Check out our blog post to see how he accomplished this feat. So, I guess you can now have your music and eat it, too!

WORD OF THE MONTH
Lindor is the name given to the smoothest chocolate created by the chocolatiers at the Swiss company Lindt. It consists of a silky smooth interior covered with a thin shell and was first produced as a tablet in 1949. In 1967 the more familiar balls were introduced. They were so popular that in 1969 they became a regular in the Lindt product line. Lindor continues to be the company’s most popular item and is currently sold in more than 100 countries. For more info on this historic company and the Lindt Easter Bunny mentioned in this month’s quote, see this creative link.
