AYEKOO TO GHANAIAN COCOA FARMERS

There are times at the "cottage" where lagging 25kg boxes around can be tedious but not when I have to carry a box of premium unrefined Ghanaian cocoa butter. The lovely rich aroma just melts all the aches and pains away - at least in my mind! Yes, I know, I have been called Rambo recently but the only knife I hold is normally to decant this decadent butter full of rich flavour. .

Join us this week in saying ayekoo to these hard working farmers who harvest this wonderful product dodging snakes as without them, we can't feed our chocolate craving nor pop our curls, nor "fade" our stretch marks nor bubble up with authentic African black soap.
Akuafo - ayekoo

FEED ME SOME CHOCOLATE

I guess it is a bit early to eat some chocolate BUT what if you have waited for what seemed eternity?!?!? After a long wait in between nagging phone calls, text messages and even threats to purchase other chocolates, I finally received a package this morning with some bars freshly made as recent as 1st December 2010.
Ooohhh, the rich scent of Ghanaian chocolates just erased all that "anger".

I am drooling and really trying to resist a crunch - I wonder if you can resist though - visit Sheabutter Cottage for your Golden Tree chocolate

HOW DO YOU RELEASE STRESS?

With a bar of chocolate?
As a Ghanaian, being laid back is part of my "makeup". I am however huffing and puffing a lot this week. Stress is not good for me. I don't know if working in a very cold place is affecting this or the fact that most of my supplies have not been delivered.
Thankfully, I have been chomping on some Ghanaian chocolates - boosts my spirit because of the pure cocoa butter content. Well, that is my guilty pleasure :) You can share my guilty pleasure with a 55% off a bite of the BEST chocolate IMHO.

I would love to know how you handle stress - do drop me a line.
