Chocolate Room
Chocolate Factory Makes Room Good Enough To Eat: "HALLE, Germany -- Germany's oldest chocolate factory celebrated its 200th anniversary this week in a very special way. Halloren created a room entirely of chocolate. The room took months to make. It includes 108 wall panels made of sweet and bittersweet chocolate. The stucco is made from marzipan, accompanied by a coat of white chocolate paint. Authentic 19th century dishes and cups were also created, as was a delicious rocking chair. The room is air-conditioned to prevent the chocolate from melting. About 2,000 pounds of chocolate and 500 pounds of marzipan were used to create the sweet masterpiece."

Pre-Holiday
 We're having an early Thanksgiving this year - tomorrow actually, as John is working on Thursday. I made the apple pie this morning (Just assembled, not baked yet.) and every time I make one I think, "This is so easy, I should do this more often!" and then promptly forget again. I use Granny Smith apples because I like the tang; they are also my 'eating' apple of choice too. (Although I also like MacIntosh and Cortland, but the latter seem to be only an Upstate New York thang and I can't find them out here on the West Coast.) The squirrels and rabbits and raccoons are going to get a treat too, as I'm tossing all the peelings and cores over the fence. They'll be completely gone by tomorrow morning, easy.
