Laughing Out Loud
The Day I Spent Making
Chocolate Candy
Don’t you
just love to laugh? I truly believe that life is more enjoyable when you get to
laugh. I try to surround myself with people who are cheerful and amusing.
Growing up,
I loved watching the tv show I Love Lucy. Of course it was in black and white. With
my mother sitting by my side, we would laugh and joy would fill our house.
After losing my mom several years ago, it took me only a little while to
realize that Lucy will always remind me of my mother. Although Lucille Ball was
a few years older than my mom, the style, the mannerisms, the laughter were all
so similar to my mom.
The I Love
Lucy show has some great classics episodes. My favorite was the one where Lucy
gets a tad tipsy selling Vitemeatavegamin.
Trying desperately to get the script
right all while having to taste over and over the little bottle of peppiness. Are you unpoopular? Do you pop out at parties? hahhaa
Another one
of my favorite I Love Lucy episodes was called Job Switch. Lucy and Ethel get
jobs at a Chocolate factory while Ricky and Fred hold down the house doing
housework.
Of course who would not want to repeat the fun of Lucy and Ethel
making chocolate candy? And that’s exactly what my friends and I did!
First my
friends and I stopped in the centrum of Valkenswaard for lunch at a lovely
little place was called Miss Coffee.
We
immediately put on our little plastic aprons, and our little plastic bonnets.
We all washed our hands several times and then we were ready to learn and
discover.
Mixing all
the ingredients to make chocolate was so much fun (and delicious). Milk, pure
and white chocolate… coming fresh from the mixer… just a fabulous messy
delight.
And we did our very best to not let any chocolates
get past us so we wouldn’t get fired! Oh
we for sure were on a sugar high. Laughing and having so much fun. At the end,
we asked our teacher to take a silly photo of us playing out the I Love Lucy
moment… right before she and Ethel get fired. Oh I Love Lucy!
Thank you
Winter’s Chocolate for letting us come have fun in your factory. Truly a dream.
