SF Chocolate Salon March 21

Don't miss out on the third annual San Francisco Chocolate Salon, Saturday, March 21, 10-6, Fort Mason Center, San Francisco. 30,000 square feet of Chocolate, Wine and Confections. Chocolate is a great way to celebrate the Solstice. I'll be a judge, and I'm really looking forward to this!

If you are worried about calories associated with 8 hours of chocolate, think of the positive effects.

• Cocoa and chocolate increases the amount of endorphins in your body. That is good especially if the economy is getting you down...

"Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't." - Legally Blonde

• Dark chocolate is known to contain antioxidants that combat cell damage that can lead to tumor growth. These antioxidants occur naturally in the cocao bean we use to make all chocolate products, and may play a role in cancer prevention. It's true, fruits and vegetables have more antioxidants and are lower in fat and calories.

So join me at the San Francisco Chocolate Salon.
I'll be reporting on everything chocolate next week!
