Chocolate, anyone?

Okay. Call me crazy. Everyone loves chocolate...well, almost everyone. I have been on a baking splurge lately and one of the things I've been getting into is baking with chocolate. I was looking over my expenditures for my baking chocolate and they've been out of the roof. I decided that buying in bulk was probably my best bet. So I went on line to a reputable chocolate site and I figured that since it was also winter I'd also pay less for shipping since I wouldn't have to have it shipped in a special "non-melt" shipping box. I bought almost five pounds of 70% Sharffen Berger chocolate (if you haven't tried Sharffen Berger yet, you're really missing out) and some small bars of different percentages of El Rey chocolate. I've never tried them so I didn't want to get a whole bunch and not like it, it's a sin to waste chocolate (or coffee and booze). Then I got something that I didn't think existed outside of my dreams. A ten pound block of 62% Guittard chocolate...ten pounds!!!! It's like waking up one day and finding out you just lost that extra ten pounds you put on during the holidays in your sleep!! Yay!! When I got the package in the mail, I opened it up and the smell of almost twenty pounds of chocolate was like chug-a-lugging a six pack of Red Bull. So if you've ever wanted to know what a ten pound block of chocolate looks like, it's your lucky day!!
