My name is Mary Lynn.  I joined a while ago but have not visited often.  I began dabbling in chocolate two years ago.  My oldest son bought home truffles his boss made. He kept raving about them...they were so amazing....so naturally, I had to outdo her.  And that is how it started.  At first there were silicone molds and candy melts.  Before I knew it there were polycarbonate chocolate molds, bags of couveture chocolate (dark, milk and white) colored cocoa butter, a tempering machine and an airbrush in my life.  First photo my first attempt, second about eight months later. The last is my most recent pieces. Self taught, Forums, books and You Tube, no formal classes as of yet. Love it as a hobby, not sure if this will be my retirement business or not.

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer
