A Chocolate Affair

I know all about chocolate, the rich creamy flavor we want to savor in our mouths.  How it's aroma and style flirt with a person's senses until finally he/she succumbs to it's temptation.   Last night it was  A Chocolate Affair.  There was dancing, champagne, and a whole lot of that sinful, deep colored stuff called chocolate.  But, hey, it's all good because the money raised went to the Lampion Center.  No need to feel guilty--it was for a good cause.  Those five extra pounds were worth it!

The picture is of my friend Chef Aimee Blume.  She brought about fifteen of her students to this event.  It was fun to see them all lined up in their white jackets ready to serve and answer questions about the wonderful chocolate delicacies they had displayed on the table for people to eat and drool over.

 If a person didn't eat the chocolate, he/she definitely did a fair amount of drooling.  I just took pictures and talked to people so I went home dehydrated.  I know for a fact that Aimee is a marvelous chef because I've tasted her work before.  In fact that's one of the reasons I could only look and drool last night.  I had too much of her wonderful, rich chocolate over the holidays : )

 The woman singing is Gina Moore.  Her voice is as deep and rich as the chocolate that surrounded the Wayne Henning Atrium at Old National Bank.  Gina has a good reputation around here so I knew a little about her and wanted to meet her. I did.  What a warm person!
