In 2006, my daughter bet I couldn't eat a different chocolate each day for a year. I enjoyed that year so much that, after 17+ years, I'm still eating a different chocolate every day. Happily, even after 6,200+ chocolates, there are still many more to try. Thank you to all who continue to be part of this global adventure.

ChocolateBet: August 12, 2009
Chocolate(s) of the Day:
3 pieces
Kee's Chocolates
1.) Kaffir Lime (1 piece) - Very Good
2.) Pignoli (pine nut) (2 pcs.) - Very Good +
Weight: 1.4 oz. (40 grams) for 3 pieces
Calories: ~210 calories (estimate) for 3 pieces
Cost: ~$6.75 (for 3 pieces)
Purchased from: Kee's Chocolates, in New York City, New York
The round-shaped Pignoli had a great dark chocolate ganache filling, and was coated in toasted pine nuts.
The second chocolate I tried today was the Kaffir Lime. I like this flavor. However, I noticed that the same Kaffir Lime chocolate tasted a little bit better a few days ago. I'm guessing warm summer weather may have degraded the taste of this flavoring slightly over a day or two. Fresh is usually best. I am sorry I couldn't carry home Champagne, Fennel, and many other flavors to try from Kee's. I will have to order some online, maybe when the weather cools down.
I like summer, and I don't much care for winter. I'm always looking for some things to like about the cold and gray season. Being able to ship chocolate back and forth with greater ease should definitely be on my Why I Don't Hate Winter list.
