When you start a blog about chocolate, all sorts of good things start to happen.  And one of those good things was the opportunity to get  private tour of a chocolate factory and an interview with Debra Music, VP of Sales and Marketing at Theo Chocolates.  Now if you’ve been reading this blog you know that anything requiring the ability to use technology, which is to say, demonstrating that I am an advanced primate and capable of using tools, is a challenge.  So I’m quite impressed with myself that I managed to record the interview (once my interview subject pointed out that my voice recorder was on pause), but less than impressed with all the blurry photos I took after reassuring her that I can use a camera.  Apparently, I remain a lower order of primate because I had it on the wrong setting all along.  But no matter.  I’m thrilled that I got the chance to tour Theo’s, interview Deb Music, and come home with a big bag of treats that made Halloween look like a rip off.

The first part of my interview was posted on Foodista, but I’m going to reprint it here for your entertainment pleasure, while I finish up transcribing the interview, write up the next two parts, write a cookbook review, attend the Chocolopolis chocolate contest, make a box of chocolates to donate to a local charity, find a job and figure out what to make for dinner now that Mira’s turned to healthy eating habits and demands proper nutrition and a flesh-free meal each night.  Kids today . . .  At any rate, click here for Part One of my enteretaining interview with Deb Music of Theo Chocolates: Read More…
