Try heaven in the mouth

I thought I sorted out my chocolate addiction but after trying Blakes organic dark truffle chocolate, I am hooked again. Why? Simply I have never experienced anything like it: the texture melts like velvet in the mouth, caressing the tongue, while the cocoa nibs create that contrast the teeth enjoy. The flavour is simply perfectly balanced and not too sweet, so that you can really taste the pure chocolate flavour. I feel total admiration and gratitude towards Blake, this is a masterpiece!
And today while talking about it at the health food shop a lady raved about their chocolate milk and coconut bar, she is addicted too. Join the club, it is really nice!

Organic Food Festival in Bristol

Today I visited the fantastic event organized by the Soil Association. It was full of green visitors, despite the bad weather. The amazing and cheerful live music played by a Spanish group put people in a really  good mood! It was really great to see the variety of organic products available, but there was a downside to it: a company selling hair products was making misleading claims about their products being organic, when they contained petrochemicals along with organic ingredients. Only when I specifically asked about the products being certified organic I got them to tell me the truth which I knew anyway from reading the ingredients list. It is sad to see this at a festival where people give for granted that everything is organic or at least truly natural. The lesson is to read the ingredients list always when you buy from a new source. Always!
