Hello San Francisco! After a boat, a bus, two planes, and a shuttle... I have returned to the West Coast. Aside from the offensive airport food offerings, the trip went pretty well -- with one exception...Taylor very kindly offered to stow a few of my things in his carry-on.. (since my bags were already packed with essentials like Sea Salt made in West Tisbury and spatulas galore). I swiftly slid through the Security Check, but Taylor did not.
The "Authorities" asked Taylor to open his bag so they could inspect it. Taylor diligently sifted through and presented all the items in the bag until the source of suspicion revealed itself. I overheard the guard say, "Really?! We saw it go through the scan and thought it was chocolate... but we just couldn't believe it." The guard then swiped our 10 pound block of delicious dark chocolate with a bomb check just to make sure before sending us on our way -- chuckling to himself as we continued on to our gate.
Mary Beth had sent me back with this heavy and decadent gift so I could begin to make my own chocolate chips for my cookies. Rest assured, this chocolate is as good as it gets. Order some chocolate chip cookies this week to check it out for yourself!
