Hello Carole,

Sorry Charlie, uh Carole, I hold the title Official Chocolate
Taster for RCTQ ... and intend to keep it. Yes, I do!! It is a
Life time appointment ... rather Dictator for Life style! LOL!!

Your post gives me opportunity to remind readers that with the
start of Autumn, the weather is again cool enough to send
chocolate to Virginia. So, just pack up a pound or two of the
stuff you've been holding in reserve and send to my Palace here
in Virginia. Reports will be posted on this NG when I get a round
to it.

If you're going to keep the title, then I think you need to visit in
October. The church down the road has a Chocolate Festival. They give
you a three and a half hour time slot and you go into their activity
room at the appointed time. The room has tables set up along all the
walls and chocolate from all sorts of shops is out for the eating -
candy, cookies, ice cream, chocolate bars, chocolate milk..... You eat
until you are sick or until your time has ended. They usually have a
raffle and the last time I was there they had enough prizes that
everyone got one. There is also lots of coffee and ice water to wash it
all down.

Wanna come?

Red and orange hands
from the soup I'm preparing
remind me of the fabric I've been sharing...
of cheeky pumpkin grins,
of wind-chilled faces;
it's that time of year again.


I'm making homemade vegetable soup with (among other things) beet
root and carrots. So pretty.

the "Queen of Chocolate" on this ng will relinquish her title so that I can
become the official chocolate taster. Perhaps I could self appoint myself
"Princess of dark chocolate".

Conveniently enough the chocolate festival and PIQF are the very same
weekend this year. How's that for fun, quilt things during the day,
chocolate in the evening to get your energy back for the next day of
quilt show.

The garlic festival is very tasty but is the last full week of July.

I know there's a mushroom festival in Morgan Hill, and asparagus in
Stockton but I've not heard about a zucchini festival.

Kate, I peeked at your web site. Nice costumes! DD wants to be Hermione
for Halloween. I haven't a clue how to make her costume. I figure a
graduation gown would work in black with a crest (haven't found that
either). I've looked for patterns at Johanns and found nada. Perhaps you
could enlighten me. Thanks
