This weekend I was visiting some wonderful friends in DC. To make things even better Kara and I took a chocolate tasting class at Cocova. Oh my goodness. I had no idea what to expect. I thought that we would eat some truffles and talk about what they had in them and how good they were. What I got was a really interesting history and review of the chocolate making process. We tasted eight chocolates, each with the same five ingredients, and they tasted so incredibly different. I learned that the climate, location, and roasting of the cocoa beans have the most influence on the flavor. My favorite was the dark chocolate from Ghana.

| They have over 800 different types of chocolate in the store. They let you sample every single one, because they really want you to like what you are buying. I love people who love what they do. Particular when it involves free samples. |

| Getting down to business. Very serious, chocolate business. |
