Restless mind!

My mind is indeed restless, especially when I am at work. The fact that I'm forced to spend eight hours in that place, makes me go crazy, but I also get lots of ideas, the problem is that I have to wait until I get out of work, before I can dedicate to them! I admit I have no patience whatsoever, and I feel restless and irritated when I have to postpone my experiments.
Today in  particular is one of those days, where my mind is in total creative state. I can't help it, it just happens. I have so many ideas I need to write them down otherwise I will forget few, or more.
As my business is reaching a point where I need to decide where to go, how to go about it and when, my ideas are getting in the way sort of speak. Too many new ideas are not necessarily a good thing. Instead I need to focus on what is already here and develop my plan further. My focus right now should be my vegan line, finalize it, make it real. Also my chocolates, as the line is already established and solid, I should keep on a steady production, the season is right behind the corner, and if I don't keep up, it will sneak on me, as it usually does. This year will be even harder as my personal life is getting busier and the full time job keeps getting in the way :-P.
I have few more things I would like to add, but it is just the time to create all the new things, that is escaping me right now.
Sometimes I wonder if that time when I would finally do what I love, without have to run, rush, and literally killing myself, will arrive. I mean I am the one that have to make it happen, but I am not alone, I have a family and responsibilities that can not be waived, not right now. The kids are still very young, our family need attention, I need to take care of myself as well, what good will it do to finally arrive where I want, and be totally exhausted.
Meanwhile I am doing what I can to keep on going, I am working really hard to keep all the ends together, I am only hoping not to drop any :-P

Friday Sampling Event

This coming Friday I will be do some sampling at Piece, Love & Chocolate in Boulder. I will be bringing few of the new ganaches, like Colorado port and organic black mission figs, with organic EVOO and pink sea salt, and caramel passion fruit. I am preparing few other ganaches that are dairy free. I have been succesfull with olive oil ganaches, they are very smooth and allow me to play with textures and flavors, while keeping the ganache dairy free. I have played with some liquorice powder, coffee and anise and sea salt with Extra virgin olive oil. So if you want to know what an EVOO ganache taste and feels like, stop by Piece, Love and Chocolate between 5 and 7 pm Friday the 26th 805 Pearl St, Boulder, to say hi and try some of my crazy creations, I will have vegan nougat, vegan caramel with almond nougat dipped in chocolate and few more vegan goodies. See you then.
