Is it Possible to eat too much chocolate?
Well, I intend to find out this Valentine’s Day at the Downtown Chelsea Chocolate Extravaganza. Trinh Pifer, owner of the Garden Mill, got the bright idea of organizing the extravaganza. And what an extravaganza! Over 30 Chelsea businesses and organizations are participating.
Whereas most such chocolate extravaganzas cost an arm and leg to sample the goodies, this one will just cost you any pledge you made to never over-indulge. Really! There will be free -- that’s right, free – tastings at many of the shops, although I am sure they will happily sell you more to take home, if you haven’t yet made yourself sick at the thought of chocolate. But is that possible?
If you don’t mind parting with your money, plenty of chocolate-themed merchandise will be on sale. Additionally there will be door prizes and various activities from 12 to 5 pm. All of the participating stores will have brochures available that direct you to the events.
But if all you want is chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, you will find truffles galore, organic chocolate, a chocolate fountain, chocolate baked goods, hot chocolate beverages, and more!
Participating businesses will have a red and chocolate-brown heart on their doors, so you can just follow the trail of hearts, gorging along the way. If you happen upon me with my chocolate glazed face mumbling incoherently, get me into a warm, chocolate-free shop until the sugar shock passes. Too much indeed? No, never.
