To celebrate February.
Chocolate, so chocolate: it's delicious and very healthy ( I like to believe this) to enjoy a piece of dark chocolate every day! I red it's good for your heart, your brains, your mood...
The smell of melted chocolate, the pleasure of decorating the cake with a thick layer of dark gold...
My girls inherited their taste for chocolate probably from my mother. We know her chocolate addiction so wonderfully well. I lived my childhood in the southern part of The Netherlands, close to the Belgium border, a country famous for her chocolate. My mother had a dear friend from that food beloved neighbored country. This woman brought from her to us golden flavors. At that time not available in our small country. For me her country was the incarnation of Roald Dahl's books and a magnificent replica of the chocolate factory.
I learned through my daughter's allergy specialists and doctors to stay with your brand of chocolate when the child digest it well, without allergy reactions. We took off with Lindt chocolate and stayed loyal to the brand. Furthermore it's so true to us that the cake, the cookies, the home made heart chocolates taste more exquisite when you go for the good quality chocolate. It just makes the difference.
Today I ran out of time and beside the dinner I didn't make the cake...
Instead I melted again by reviewing my picture and promise I'll make the girls the treat later this week.
