Paperwork submitted and I am in...

I am in. I did not know I was supposed to post this declaration... But here I am.

Not sure we are supposed to do that, but we are supposed to note when our gift was shipped, and when we receive our booty.

Speaking of which, here's the Santa's helper coming to my door......which outfit should I request?

Your avatar makes me salivate every time you post.

Thread participation is usually referred to as strip poker.

Neither can I, though I didn't carry it over from last year when I must have seen it. Thankfully.

Did I mention I make chocolate for a living? I’m not above bribes here! Who’s leg do I gotta hump to get in on sharing this holiday sprit!?




This could be me and my secret Santa recipient but ya’ll playin!

Really? We had a chocolatier come into our bakery once and I was really interested at all the chemistry behind chocolate. I had a difficult time hand tempering white chocolate, that stuff is tricky.

If you want to send Dan (Woodsroad) a bribe, I hear he is partial to Captain Black Grape.

@mikethompson

Yes indeed! We make chocolate from scratch. The science behind it is one of my favorite parts. White chocolate can deffo be testy, there is a lot of stuff in there besides the cocoa butter; which is the important thing for tempering, milk, sugar etc so it gets difficult to temper for sure. We don’t make the stuff cause we can’t press the butter ourselves at the moment but maybe one day we’ll start pumping out a single origin white chocolate.

Are you a baker yourself? Do you specialize in anything in particular?

Get me a location and I’ll send all that grape where ever it needs to go

Mine.
You have to hump MY leg.
A long, slow, rich, creamy, high cocoa content hump.

Just you keep in mind who makes the matches around here, Mr. Thompson!

That is a waste of some damned good chocolate!

That depends on how the clean up goes.
