Mmmmmm .... Chocolate!

On Monday night, the college that I work for at Purdue, Consumer and Family Sciences, held an event at the Indiana State Museum. The Museum is currently hosting, Chocolate: The Exhibition. Our staff had the brilliant idea to host one of our 'Boiler Mixers' (an event for alumni from our college -- we are the Boilermakers at Purdue, thus 'Boiler' Mixer) in conjunction with this exhibit. We hosted a reception in the Museum and invited a professor from the Dept. of Foods and Nutrition to speak about the truths/myths of chocolate as a health food.

The Museum did an outstanding job of hosting us! The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. I had to take a few photos to share. One of the highlights of the evening was the chocolate fountain. We also enjoyed eating other chocolate desserts. It was a fun and yummy evening!



Here is my friend and co-worker, Christina, enjoying the chocolate fountain. (I'm sure she'll be so happy to be making a guest appearance on our blog!)

Thanks for hosting the Ethiopian Adoption event at your home. It was so nice to meet others that are going through the same process. Also, thanks for the donations. Too bad we forgot them...we will get them before we leave...
