Have you every looked up at the stars? Ever wonder what's out really out there? Come explore the universe and start to gain an understanding to this strange wonderful place that we live in.


X7675: Dark Chocolate Tasting in Splash! 2013 (Nov. 23 - 24, 2013)
So you like chocolate. A lot. You even have a favorite brand. (Ghirardelli? Hershey's is not an acceptable choice.) But it’s all just chocolate, right? Wrong! There’s a lot more to chocolate than what you buy in the grocery store. There are gradations of how dark it is, different types of beans, even chocolate made from beans all from the same country or even the same plantation! And they all have distinctive tastes. We’ll have a range of different chocolates, as well as information about the different types of chocolate. We’ll explore several different aspects of high-quality chocolate (such as percentage cocoa contents, and what country it comes from) and discuss what these things do to the flavor. We’ll also bring some suggestions for where to look for buying your own chocolate. Note: Although younger students may take this class, please make sure they can sit still and join in a reasonable discussion. Anyone being rowdy will be asked to leave.
