A Chocolate Affaire

Always interested in something new and different, no matter provincial it might seem, J and I packed ourselves into our car and drove into the mountains for “A Chocolate Affaire”.

Seven Springs made a wise choice by starting small, with a pair of goodies tents, a few vendors and live music. Since it was a perfect fall day the long line we had to wait in to obtain our chocolate treats was not a burden.

During our wait, we spotted the most interesting looking man. He was sporting silver horns through his nose. They were quite distinctive, curved in the style of a longhorn steer. Combined with an expensive leather jacket and kick-ass leather boots, he was quite a sight at the bottom of the slope. His three compatriots were also strikingly dressed, although they did not sport the same level of commitment to body modification.

The cannolli was excellent and the chocolate rum balls were dreamy. The chocolate creme brulee was a bit of disappointment.
