My top two chocolates of all the many I have tasted. Not on commission. Just for the record.

Take California

Karin Kallmaker 07/26/2010 Cheers & Chocolate, Frosting 2 - Second Helpings

After too many miles wishing that people in bulky vehicles understood the purpose of turn outs, we got to camp. I pulled in behind a car with the bumper sticker “I’m so gay I don’t even drive straight.”

Apply Acid and Scrub

Karin Kallmaker 12/23/2009 Cheers & Chocolate, LIFE + STYLE

Senseless Acts of Singing

Karin Kallmaker 11/09/2009 Cheers & Chocolate, Stepping Stone, Unforgettable

Try as I might, I never could sing like Julie Andrews and I didn’t waste any time trying. My mother sewed me a costume though. I still have the carpetbag and the tea set.

Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia – Substitute for Love’s Fascinating Math
    No math whiz, Karin spent a long time studying the milestones of mathematics to create a realistic passion for Holly Markham in Substitute for Love. Her favorite fascinating fact was how measuring sound waves electronically replaced the whack of an engineer's hammer against a train wheel to test for metal fatigue. File that under "Cool stuff writers hope some day will help them win Jeopardy!"
