I ran into an old friend at the GOP convention this morning, Art Pollard. Art's taken up chocolate making. He did it as a hobby at first, but now he does 2000 lb batches and sells it, so it hardly qualifies as a hobby any more. He gave me some samples and I have to say it's possibly the best chocolate I've ever had. But don't take my word for it; just look at the impressive list of awards he's won at the bottom of his homepage: Amano Chocolate.
