More Massachusetts magic (staged on another article of my clothing! : ) in the form of #chequessettchocolate of Cape Cod, on Peru cacao, light and lovely, with gentle complexity; this is a really beautifully realized chocolate bar, charmingly packaged in a fittingly nautical theme, and in a reusable pouch! 💙 If you're in Boston, you'll find this exciting local brand at #beaconhillchocolates, in one of my beloved former neighborhoods! 🆙️ Chocolate appreciation moment: note the bright color of this chocolate, tinged with red tones, in contrast to the darker color, tinged with purple, of the Esmeraldas Ecuador bar in the previous post! #chocolatetravel #chocolateandatextile #HarvardAutumn2017 (at Beacon Hill Chocolates)
Chocolate scouting: what fun to try #goodnowfarms chocolate of Massachusetts, from the shelf at #fastachi on Boston's Beacon Hill, one of my old neighborhoods! 🌞 Note the lovely dark color from the glorious cacao of Esmeraldas, Ecuador, known for resulting in chocolate of rich and deep color and flavor! #HarvardAutumn2017 (at Fastachi)
"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth." #Thoreau I've passed every season here, multiple times, and it's always fresh to be back, to be forward! #HarvardAutumn2017 (at Harvard University)
These #tazachocolate-covered cashews are phenomenal: cashew creaminess in polarity yet harmony with the granulated texture of stone-ground chocolate! Plus, they're in my wholesale portfolio! I couldn't wait to start eating them, so staged this photo on a picnic table right outside the Taza factory. 💚 Oh and wait until you see the almond butter with Taza chocolate pieces, in a forthcoming post; swipe to enjoy quick factory scenes in the meantime! 🌞 Thanks, Team Taza, for a wonderful tour of such fascinating stone-ground methods and magic! #chocolatetravel #HarvardAutumn2017 (at Taza Chocolate)
Chocolate is love: loved visiting the #tazachocolate factory just outside Boston and Cambridge! Terrific Taza was a stop on one of my Boston chocolate tour routes back in the old tour days, and is the source of some of the deliciousness I currently wholesale - old and new has been such a theme of this trip back to home sweet Harvard and environs! 💝 And I loved experiencing Taza's new and limited edition products like the wonderful chocolate honey almond granola bark here! More Taza pics to come! 💋 #HarvardAutumn2017 (at Taza Chocolate)
Sweet talk: what a treat to speak to students at my alma mater #harvardlawschool on alternative careers for lawyers, at a leadership conference organized by the Harvard Women's Law Association and Ms. JD! 🏛 My message to these high-achieving super-professional students: follow your passions and goals, not someone else's. And if your passion is BigLaw, have a back-up passion, because today only 19% of equity partners are women, and they are paid 80% of what the men receive. ⁉️ Entrepreneurship is an exciting alternative, and has been a meaningful and delicious one for me! It was fun and an honor to share war stories from my law firm days, and origin stories of my original chocolate tours business, to chat afterward with such wonderful and thoughtful students about what is on their minds, and to share #chocotenango chocolate bars which were enormously popular! 💜 #HarvardAutumn2017 (at Harvard Law School)
Brunch recap, at amazing #aldenandharlow in #harvardsquare: loved this fabulous, inventive, and warm cinnamon roll, with berries, pistachios, and white chocolate - plus the cleverly named "ubiquitous kale salad" which was creatively freshened with creamy pistachio dressing, and all the other delicious not-shown food we ate! - while catching up with a very dear friend from college! The restaurant is in the same location as beloved former Casablanca cafe, next to the Brattle Theater which still shows classic and independent films on its single screen; so much fun to go back to school and to old places and old-spaces-turned-new! #HarvardAutumn2017 (at Alden & Harlow)
