Feb 2004:

yall remember this from last year? http://davesgarden.com/t/373345/ well, it happened again. It was this afternoon...my friend and I went back again this year. It was bigger and better. OH MY GOSH is all I can say. I ate and ate and ate...I wanted to share! Here are some of the chocolate sculptures they were selling via silent auction. A cute choc. swamp, full of frogs and other critters...all made of chocolate. MMMMM, the last bid I saw on it was 175.00!

notice the snake in the log

here is a Jester

and a face

a tower of flowers

and this, the coo-de-gras...I was drawn to it like a moth to the light...it sucked me in, I think there were angels singing and an heavenly aura was around it...it was a overflowing milk chocolate....there was every kind of fruit you could think of, also marshmellows, coconut macaroons, and other goodies. You would get a skewer and hold it under the chocolate.....mmmmmmmmmm!

comedy and tradgey..all done in chocolate

Wow.Be still my heart. Ok Lisa how much weight did you gain by just looking? We won't talk about how much ya ate. lol

and the loot(this is what I managed to take home)*insert very happy face here*

Ya know mystic, I really didn't care how much I gained..LOL! I had a nice loose dress on, so I didn't notice it at all. I'll worry about the extra pounds tomorrow...LOL! However, I have a horrible headache right now, must be crashing from the sugar high...hehehe. Boy was it fun!

Lisa...that is the best looking crawdad I have ever seen!! Big improvement over the normal ones. YUMMY! You just send your old friend Jo the rest of that stuff and I will take care of it for you.....I wouldn't want you to have more headaches.......Jo

Mmmmmmm, I guess I picked the wrong time to visit you! ;) I love the chocolate lotus seed pods on that swamp sculpture. Was it Vikki you went with?

Wow, Lisa!

Again! You are twisting my arm; may have to come down there next year for this!

Please let me know dates in advance!

Thanks

Leave it to you all to turn chocolate into sea food. Did you eat the frog legs. LOL

Lisa, that looks great. I really like that tower of flowers.

Wow! I'm not a big chocolate freak but that looks like a fun time! Would love to take my DD there...she'd be in cheavon! (That's uh, "chocolate heaven" to ya'll not in the know!)

That guy at the coo-dee-graw pic...looks to me like he already has loaded up his left side pocket. Is that how you got all your goodies home, Lisa? Had to smuggle them out, eh?

Chocolate artwork, just beautiful! And yes, Lisa, just how did you get all that meltable chocolate loot home without melting it?

Shoe and Mary, a woman never tells her secrets.. ;0).
