Hey do-gooders,
Felice here. I'm looking forward to highlighting the ways we can combine two things that make me *very* excited - shopping (responsibly!) and making a difference in other people's lives. I also joined What Gives!? to read about the fun and creative ways other people are doing good in the world.
I help manage WorldofGood.com's online community, where people discuss ways our shopping choices can help people and the environment. It's inspired me to share what community members are talking about on this blog. I currently live in beautiful, quirky San Francisco, but I'm really repping the great state of West Virginia. I would love to hear from any West Virginians - so mountaineers, please leave me a comment!
Something anyone who meets me should know (or will at least discover shortly) is that I love chocolate. Here I am showing off chocolates I just made. Some of my favorite creations include dark chocolate ganache truffles infused with basil, and milk chocolate bars with lavender and sea salt... do I sound obsessed yet? Dark chocolate with almonds is what I usually go for - and of course, I only buy Fair Trade chocolate. Nothing beats the taste of sweet social justice ;).

Welcome Felice, and for those reading:
Felice owes me 5 beers which she will gratefully be owning up to in a few weeks. I'm thinking I should get chocolates as well :)

loving the chocolate you're describing Felice - tell me where I can get some!!! wait, am I reading correctly that you MADE them - wow... can we place orders?
have you ever tried Franz (the ones with the milk or dark chocolate covered caramel, with light or dark sea salt on top - my faves!)

@RG:
Hey now, I don't even know how 3 of those beers became part of the deal. Now chocolates too? Hm, I wonder if our fave beer spot Monks Kettle can recommend pairings with chocolate.

@KC:
Someday I am totally going to bring a batch of homemade chocolate to your desk!
I haven't tried Franz, but caramel+salt+chocolate sounds divine. It's amazing how well sweet and salty things can go together. Chocolate-covered pretzels are genius.

@KC @Felice
It's all a farce, she buys the chocolate and wog.com and then claims it as her own ;-)
