Virtual Chocolate Festival

Nearly every March since we moved to Southern Oregon over 11 years ago, my husband and I have attended two events that celebrate two of my favorite foods: chocolate and cheese. Add in the fact that vendors at these festivals also offer just about everything under the sun that could be served with these two life-affirming edibles (think wine and beer, among others), and what's not to like? Well, the fact that thousands of other people apparently think like I do and the venues can get uncomfortably crowded is a tad inconvenient, but . . . CHOCOLATE and CHEESE!!!

Chocolate and More on Kaua’i

While researching tours and recreation options for a trip to Kaua'i, I came across Lydgate Farms, operated by a fifth-generation Kaua'i family and producing craft chocolates, vanilla beans and honey. (Hawai'i is the only U.S. state where cacao grows.) It took me all of 30 seconds to decide to sign up for a three-hour tasting tour, especially when I realized the farm was only a 15-minute drive from our accommodations in Kapa'a, on the island's east side.
